Excel 2007

what's the difference between relative and absolute references?

RE: Excel 2007

Hi Dionne

Thank you for your question.

Relative and absolute references are cell references in a formula.

A relative cell reference changes when a formula is moved or copied to another location in your spreadsheet. By default, cell references in a formula will be relative unless you make them into an absolute reference.

An absolute cell reference does not change when a formula is moved or copied to another location in your spreadsheet. An absolute reference is recognisable in a formula as it has $ signs preceding the column letter and the row number in the cell reference, e.g. $B$4.

I hope this helps.

Excel tip:

Quickly hide and unhide rows and columns

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+9 to hide selected rows and Ctrl+0 to hide selected columns. The good thing about this shortcut is that you do not need to select entire rows or columns. For example, select B3:D3 then press Ctrl+0 to hide columns B to D.

Ctrl+Shift+9 unhides rows and Ctrl+Shift+0 unhides columns.
