The dollar sign

Please give me more examples of the dollar sign

RE: The dollar sign

Hi Valerie,

Thank you for the forum question.

You lock a cell reference by using dollar sign.
A1 is a relative cell reference (no dollar sign)

$A1 is a mixed cell reference locked left to right (dollar sign before the column)

A$1 is a mixed cell reference locked up and down (dollar sign before the row)

$A$1 is a absolute cell reference locked left to right and up and down (dollar sign before the column and dollar sign before the row)

Please watch the YouTube videos below.
