When you copy a formula with relative cell references down a row,____________.
- A.
the row references change in the formula
- B.
The column references change in the formula
- C.

This allows you to easily apply the same formula to multiple rows without manually updating the cell references.Rate this question:

- B.
Contains row number of the cell
- C.
Contains formula
Correct Answer(s)
A. Contains column letter of the cell
B. Contains row number of the cellExplanation
The cell reference contains the column letter of the cell, which indicates the column in which the cell is located. It also contains the row number of the cell, which indicates the row in which the cell is located. This combination of the column letter and row number uniquely identifies a cell in a spreadsheet. The cell reference does not contain the formula itself, but rather identifies the location of the cell within the spreadsheet.Rate this question:

Absolute cell reference of the cell a12 is:
- A.
$a$12
- B.
$a12$
- C.
$a12
Correct Answer
A. $a$12Explanation
The correct answer is $a$12 because the dollar signs before the column letter and row number indicate that the reference is absolute. This means that when the cell is copied and pasted to other cells, the reference will not change. In this case, both the column and row references are absolute, so the reference to cell A12 will remain the same regardless of where it is copied.Rate this question:

In formulas, we use a combination of absolute and relative cell references. Absolute cell references do not change when copied or filled, while relative cell references adjust based on the location they are copied to. Therefore, the statement that we only use relative cell references in formulas is false.Rate this question:
