Define the following

Question 1
Relative Referencing

Answer

In Relative Referencing, the address of the cells is specified in a way that when the formula
is copied to a new cell, the corresponding cell address changes with reference to the new
cell address.=A1+A2 is an example of Relative Referencing.

Question 2

Absolute Referencing

Answer

In Absolute Referencing, the address of the cells is specified in a way that it remains
constant when the formula is copied to a new cell. To keep the cell value absolute apply the
'$' sign. =$A$1+$A$2 is an example of Absolute Referencing.

Question 3

Mixed Referencing

Answer

Mixed Referencing is a combination of Relative and Absolute reference. In this type of

reference, either row or column has to remain fixed. =$A1+A$2 is an example of Mixed
Referencing.
