Using Absolute References

Formula references a blank cell

Formula was copied and the relative reference was adjusted

resulting in an error

3-18

McGraw-Hill Technology Education © 2004 by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Concept 1

• An absolute reference is a cell or a range in a formula whose location does not change when the formula is copied

• To avoid relative adjustment of cell references, enter a $ (dollar sign) before the column letter and row number– Changes cell reference to absolute– Cell reference does not change when

copied
