Cell references are __________ by default.
- A.
Absolute
- B.
Relative
Correct Answer
B. RelativeExplanation
Cell references are relative by default. This means that when a formula or function is copied to another cell, the reference to other cells will adjust accordingly. For example, if a formula in cell A1 references cell B1, when the formula is copied to cell A2, the reference will automatically change to B2. This allows for easy replication of formulas across multiple cells without having to manually adjust each reference.Rate this question:
