A relative cell referencing is a cell that is entered in formula without using $ symbol. For example: =C5. It means that if you copy the formula to another cell up & down, all the references of the formula will also move a corresponding number of cells up & down. This also works for sideways cells. Example: if you copy the formula from B2 to C8, than the formula will appear in C8. Then, if you drag the formula from C8 untill C12, the corresponding formula from B2 untill B6 will appear on the cells. An absolute cell referencing occurs when a cell is entered in a formula uaing the $ symbol (ie. $C$). This is use when you don't want the cell reference to change. If you want that to always stay the same, place $ symbol before and after the alphabet. For example, "$D$3" refers to cell D3. $D$3 will works exactly the same as D3.
-Relative cell referencing- This relative cell can be used without a specific formula. it is just a simple step. for example
~ In income statement, there were be a net profit that must be transfer to the next sheet for the balance sheet . therefore if we want to copy the formula from the income statement sheet to the statement of financial position sheet, we have to do some step.
example: at the financial position net profit figure at E20 cell sheet no 2. at that cell put + sign and open the first sheet and click on the figure at the net profit item at the F13. then press enter. at the the second sheet the formula will be appear if we click at the figure that have been transfer, =+Sheet1!F13 which mean it is from sheet 1 and at cell F13. if there are any data changes in sheet 1 then the sheet 2 will be adjusted accordingly.
ABSOLUTE CELL REFERENCING
this is more specific that relative cell. the specific cell adresses should be assigned with absolute cell reference. it must be include with dollar sign.
for example : in preparing sales report, selling price is rm 3.00 the selling price will be used i every month in the sales report. so to make the calculation, we must put a specific formula to make sure that the answer will be correct. so to have the right formula we must put the dollar sign .
example:press = sign at the sales coloumn,at C9 then press the figure of selling price,at D4 then press * sign for the multiply funtion then click at the sales column for the first month, january at C8 and press enter. then when you click at the sales column, the formula will be appear. like this =D4*C8. so put the dollar sign before D and After D =$D$5*C8 like this and again press enter. so when you copy the formula in cell D9 and E9 cell address D5 in the formula will be not adjusted. it remain.
Relative cell referencing is cell that include in formulas is treated by Excel as a relative location. For example: instead of re-entering data in cells B7 up to B10 in cells H23 up to H26, you can enter plus sign in cell H23. Highlight cell B7. Moving borders called marquee will appear. Press enter and data in cell B7 will appera in cell H23. Any changes in cell B7, data in cell H23 will change acccordingly.
Absolute cell referencing is formula that contains cell in specific cell addresss. For example: one selling price which applicable to unit of sales in cells B8, C8 and D8. It is speficially located in cell D4. thus, the formula in B9 should be assigned with an absolute cell reference. Cell address D4 should be preceded with dollar sign. The formula should appear as =$D$4*B8. When you copy the formula in cell B9 to cells C9 and D9 cell address D4 in the formula will not be adjusted.
Relative cell referencing is cell that include in formulas is treated by Excel as a relative location. For example:Enter plus sign in cell H23 and highlight B7 which is the cell you want to copy.Moving borders called marquee will appear. Any changes made in cell B7, data in cell H23 will change change accordingly.
Absolute cell referencing is formula that contains cells in specific cell addresses. For example: one selling price applicable to cell B7,C7 and D7 . It is specifically located in cell D3 Thus, the formula in B7 should be assigned with an absolute cell reference. The formula should appear as =$D$3*B7. When you copy the formula to cell C7 and D7 cell address D3 in the formula will not be adjusted.
