This document discusses different types of cell references in Excel formulas: relative, absolute, and mixed. Relative references adjust both the row and column when copied, absolute references keep the same row and column, and mixed references adjust one but not the other when copied. Examples are provided for each type of reference.

Assume we have a value of 5 in cell A1, and we want to add 2 to it in cell A2. The formula in cell A2 would be "=A1+2". If we copy this formula to cell A3, Excel will automatically adjust the reference to "=A2+2", which adds 2 to the value in cell A2.
2. Absolute cell reference:
Assume we have a value of 5 in cell A1, and we want to always add 2 to it, regardless of where we copy the formula. The formula in cell A2 would be "=$A$1+2". If we copy this formula to cell B2, Excel will still reference cell A1 as "=$A$1+2".
3. Mixed cell reference:
Assume we have a table of values in cells A1:B10, and we want to multiply the values in column A by a fixed value in cell C1. The formula in cell B1 would be "=A1*$C$1". If we copy this formula to cell B2, Excel will adjust the reference to "=A2*$C$1", which still references cell C1 as a fixed value. However, the reference to cell A1 changes to A2 because it is a relative reference.
