(4) Ans: Absolute referencing If we don't want Excel to adjust references when we copy a formula to a different cell, use an absolute reference. For example, if our formula multiplies cell A5 with cell C1 (=A5*C1) and we copy the formula to another cell, Excel will adjust both references. We can create an absolute reference to cell C1 by placing a dollar sign ($) before the parts of the reference that do not change. To create an absolute reference to cell C1, for example, add dollar signs to the formula as follows: =A5*$C$1 Relative referencing When we create a formula, references to cells or ranges are usually based on their position relative to the cell that contains the formula. In the following 6)

example, cell B6 contains the formula =A5; Microsoft Excel finds the value one cell above and one cell to the left of B6. This is known as a relative reference.

When we copy a formula that uses relative references, Excel automatically adjusts the references in the pasted formula to refer to different cells relative to the position of the formula What types of data can be entered in a cell in MS-Excel?

For example, you can have a cell appear bold only when the value of the cell is greater than 100. When the value of the cell meets the format condition, the format you select is applied to the cell. If the value of the cell does not meet the format condition, the cell's default formatting is used. Macros are a very useful feature of Excel, especially if you find yourself constantly repeating the same tasks on different cells, or worksheets.
