An absolute reference to a cell is maintained when you copy paste your equations referencing this cell to another location on your worksheet.

Inserting a $ before the column and row ($A$1) or both will always refer to the specified column and row.

Example =$C1 when copy pasted elsewhere would always refer to the cell on the current row in column C. It is a mixed reference, as only one element, in this case the column, is locked. C$1 would also be mixed. $C$1 is absolute as both elements are locked.

When typing a cell in a formula, pressing the F4 key, will change the reference type between relative, mixed and absolute.
