Q. Differentiate between relative and absolute reference?

Answer – Difference between absolute and  relative cell reference are –

a. Absolute – A fixed reference in a formula is called an absolute reference. Only the specific row and columns will be mentioned. It won’t change whether you copy the formula to another cell or use AutoFill. You can make any cell absolute by using the dollar sign ($).

b. Relative – A Relative reference is the same as a cell reference. Simply supplying the row and column value might be used to refer to a cell. When a formula is copied to another cell or AutoFill is used, relative references update and change automatically.
