Absolute vs. Relative Addresses • Assume you enter the following formulae into cell C1: =A1+B1 • If you copy the formula from C1 and paste this formula into cell C2, Excel will automatically change the formula to reflect the new position =A2+B2
Relative Addresses • If you paste this formula into a bunch of cells, Excel automatically adjusts the formula to reflect the relative position of the new formula to the original form.
If the formula in cell C1 is copied & pasted in C2 & C3, the following will result Relative Cell Addresses
Another Shortcut • When you type a formula, data, etc. into a cell and want to copy it to cells below or to the right, look for the tiny black box in the bottom right of that cell, click on that box and drag it down (or to the right)
Absolute Cell Addresses • Sometimes you want the cell address to be “locked”. If you cut and paste it, the address will be same. • In order to create locked or absolute cell formulas, you enter $ in front of the row number and column letters • =$A$1+$B$1
If the formula in cell C1 is copied & pasted in C2 & C3, the following will result Absolute Cell Addresses
