Hi Daniel
Thanks for your question.
An absolute cell reference in a formula has $ signs in front of the column letter and the row number, e.g. $B$3
To create an absolute reference, press the F4 key after you have clicked on the cell to enter it into a formula.

Although people like to edit a formula in the Formula bar, you can also edit a formula in the cell.
To do this select the cell and press "F2". This puts Excel into Edit mode, and you can move around in the cell and make any necessary changes.
Double-clicking the cell also puts Excel in Edit mode.
