- 20. What happens when I copy and move cells?A cell reference that changes when a formula is copied or moved is called a relative reference. Unless you specify otherwise, Excel treats all cell references as relative.20Practical Microsoft Office 2010
- 21. What happens when I copy and move cells?To move data in cells:select the cells, then click the Cut buttonclick the new cell, then click the Paste buttonWhen you copy or move data in a range, click the cell in the top-left corner where you want the data to be pasted21Practical Microsoft Office 2010
- 22. What happens when I copy and move cells?A formula containing a relative reference changes when it is copied or moved.Example:Assume cell B11 contains the formula =SUM(B5:B10). If you copy and paste that formula to cell C11, the formula will be changed to =SUM(C5:C10)This is because the references B5 and B10 are relative references.22Practical Microsoft Office 2010
- 23. What happens when I copy and move cells?When the formula was in cell B11, Excel interpreted it as:=SUM the numbers in the six cells aboveWhen it was copied to cell C11, Excel adjusted the formula so it retained the same relative references, making it =SUM(C5:C10)23Practical Microsoft Office 2010

- 25. When should I use absolute references?Sometimes, you do not want cell references to change when moved to a new location.An absolute reference will not change and always refer to the same cell.To create an absolute reference, insert a dollar sign ($) before the column reference and another dollar sign before the row reference.25Practical Microsoft Office 2010
