9. Define Relative referencing, Mixed referencing and Absolute referencing.
Answer –
a) Relative referencing: When we drag the formula downwards in columns, the row number
of the cell address gets one added. In the same way, when you drag the formula horizontally
from the left to the right column, the column name of the cell address is added on to the next
column letter.
b) Mixed referencing: As we have seen, when we drag the formula, row number or column
name get changed in relative reference. To overcome this problem , In Mixed Referencing,
the $ sign is used before row number or column name to make it constant. For example
H2+C$14 (To make row 14 constant) or H2+$C14 (To make column C constant)
c) Absolute referencing: In Absolute referencing, a $ symbol is used before the column name
as well as row number to make it constant in any formula. For example, $C$12, $D$5, etc. In
this case, even if you drag your formula in any direction, the cell name remains constant.
