The absolute sign($), is used specially when you write an equation or any other thing in excel, and you want to copy it into other cells.
If you write "=E3+F3" in a cell, that cell will show the addition of E3 and F3. If you copy and paste to the cell below that, the equation will automatically change into "=E4+F4", also, if you copy that into the cell to the right of the first one, equation will change into "=F3+G3".
The absolute sign ($), avoids that, if you right that before the row or column (e.g. F$3 or $F3 or $F$3) the row, or column, or both, won't change when you copy and paste the equation.

∙ 7y agoTyping a dollar into a cell doesn't do anything in particular. What you may mean is having a dollar in the cell reference. This will help create a mixed or absolute cell reference. One dollar sign before the column letter or row number creates a mixed reference. Having a dollar before the column letter and another before the row number will make an absolute reference.
