*Cell Reference in Excel*

1. Excel has a cell reference style C1R1
    Where C1=Column 1 & R1=Row 1
2. When we drag/copy and paste the formula cell reference also change automatically.
     e.g. C1=A1+B1, if we copy cell C1 & paste in cell F5 formula will change to D5+E5 it’s called              relative reference

3.  If you want to make the cell reference as absolute reference (means reference will not change             with drag/ copy & paste) we have to assign $ sign to column & row label
     e.g. C1=$A$1+$B$1, here if you copy formula of cell C1 & paste in F5, formula in cell F5 will              be F5=$A$1+$B$1

4.  If you want to freeze column only assign $ to column label only
     e.g. C1=$A1+$B1 here columns as freeze, when you copy & paste cell C1 to cell F5 formula will          be F5=$A5+$B5 column will not change to D5+E5

5. If you want to freeze row only assign $ to row label only.
    e.g. C1=A$1+B$1, here Rows are freeze, when you copy & paste cell C1 to F5 formula will be            F5=D$1+E$1 rows will not be change from Row 1 to Row 5.



Note: - [$ sign can be assigned by pressing F4 key in cell reference] [one time F4 column & row will be freeze] [two times row will be freeze] [three times column will be freeze] [four times $ will be removed]
