Join Dennis Taylor for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with relative, absolute, and mixed references, part of Excel 2016 Essential Training.
- We're looking at a worksheet called Absolute…in our workbook 03 - Creating Formulas and Functions.…In cell F2, we're about to calculate a new salary…not only for Lisa but for all the others in our list here.…Now, if everybody's going to get $2,000 more,…we could write a simple formula here, equal E2,…type it or click it, plus 2,000.…And we can copy this down the column.…Even before pressing Enter, we can point to the…lower right-hand corner.…
Click and drag downward, and that formula…will have been copied downward, and our original formula,…E2 plus 2,000, has been copied here automatically…to say E3 plus 2,000,…and this is what we call a relative reference.…As we copy a formula into a different row,…the row reference in the formula, the row 2,…becomes row 3, and becomes row 4,…and down at the bottom, row 13.…That happens automatically.…
It's referred to as a relative reference.…But what if our salary calculation is going to be based…on a percent increase 2.1%?…Instead of this formula, we're going to make a change to it.…
