Cell References

There are 16384 rows and 256 columns in one worksheet .The first cell is labelled as A1 (column as A and Row number as 1) or R1C1 .

Example:- 3C3 refers to row 3 column 3 and is equivalent to C3.

Thus he last cell is labelled as IV16384. This is called the cell address And they reused to identify the cell . Cell reference are given in different ways:

Relative -This refers to the cell relative to the given position .

Example: Enter the following values :

In cell A3 enter the value 34

In cell A4 enter the value 23

In cell A5 enter the value 89

In cell A6 enter the formula =A3+A4+A5

Copy this formula to the cell A7,and see the result.

Observe the formula entered in cell A7.It is A4+A5+A6.The formula entered in cell A6 means the sum of the values given in the three cell given above the current cell. Therefore when we move down , the relation specified in the formula was copied (  I . e . the three values given above the current cell which is A7 now )

Absolute -  This refers to the specific cell irrespective of the position of the formula .The ' $ ' sign is used to denote an absolute reference .

Example:-In the cell B3 copy the formula $A$3+$A$4+$A$5 Copy this formula to the cell B4.

We find that the result and the formula remains the same .

Mixed -It is a combination of both relative and mixed reference .It has one absolute co-ordinate and one relative co - ordinate .$D1 and D$1 are both examples of mixed references .
