new cell
with the relative reference. for example =C1 is an example of relative referencing, as this formula
changes automatically when we drag it vertically or horizontally.

Ans. 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.
