How do you make a reference absolute?

RE: references

Hi Maria

You can turn a cell reference absolute by prefixing the column letter and row number with the dollar symbol $. This then acts as an anchor. When you drag a formula that contains a reference which has been locked with $ symbols the column and/or row reference remain unchanged.

I hope this is helpful.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Excel tip:

Shortcuts for working with named ranges in Excel

If you are working with or creating named ranges in your spreadsheets, then you may find the following shortcut keys useful.

- Bring up the Define Names dialogue box on screen by using Ctrl + F3 (instead of going to Insert - Names).

- Create Names from labels you have entered into the spreadsheet by highlighting the labels and related figures, then hold down Shift + Ctrl + F3. You can then choose to create names from the top or bottom rows, or left or right columns.

- Go directly to a named range by hitting the F5 key. The Go To dialogue box will open and display any named ranges in the spreadsheet. Simply select the named range to navigate to it in the spreadsheet.
