That will depend on the original formula and where it is copied to. The formula may change if it is a formula using relative references. It will show an error if it is now trying to reference cells that do not exist. A formula with absolute references will not change. Formulas with mixed references will partially change. Formulas with no references will not change. So there are lots of factors that have to be considered when determining what will happen if the formula is copied and pasted.

Which formula would appear if you copied and pasted the cell containing the formula SUM(A1A4) from cell A5 to cell C6?

The formula in cell C6 would be: =SUM(C2:C5)


What would be the resulting formula if the formula equals c3D3 which is located in the cell B1 is copied and pasted in the cell C1?

If you use relative address, the formula would be =D1+D3. If you used absolute references, the formula would be =$B$1+$B$3.

A10 is an example of absolute reference?

No. A10 is a relative reference. $A$10 would be an absolute reference. As a relative reference, it will change when a formula is copied. An absolute reference will not changed in a formula when it is copied.

Is c6 an absolute or a rellative cell reference?

C6 is a relative reference. $C$6 would be an absolute reference. As a relative reference, it will change when a formula is copied. An absolute reference will not changed in a formula when it is copied.


How do you enter a relative formula in Excel?

A relative formula uses relative addresses. These will change when the formula is copied. Say you had columns of numbers, in columns A to G, and from row 2 to 25 in each column. Say you wanted to add up the total for each column. You could do a separate formula for each one, but using a relative formula it can be done with one formula which would then be copied. In cell A26 you could put:=SUM(A2:A25)That would total up the column A cells. When you copy it to B26 the references would change and the formula would now be:=SUM(B2:B25)You could copy it on across through all the cells to G26 and you would have totals for each column. The formula is relative. What it does is think of the cells mentioned, relative to where the formula has been entered. So the first formula doesn’t really think of A2 to A25, but the 24 cells above A26. So when it is copied to B26, the 24 cells above it are B2 to B25. This change continues as it is copied to the other cells, so that each formula adds its own set of cells.If the formula was absolute it would specifically think of A2 to A25 and when copied across, it would still just add those cells. The absolute version would be like:=SUM($A$2:$A$25)The dollar signs have the effect of locking in the cell references so that they don’t change when the formula is copied. Absolute references also have their uses in other situations.


Which references would indicate that the Excel column would not change when copied?

A dollar symbol before the column reference will prevent the column reference changing when it is copied. Having $A1 for example will prevent the A changing when a formula with it in it is copied. The 1 could change unless it is also preceded by a $ symbol.

Why Excel paste value will not work?

It usually does work. It may appear to have not done what you want for different reasons. For example, it does not overwrite formatting in another cell. So if you copied the value 3 from one cell and pasted it into a cell that had been formatted as Percentage, you would get 300% and not 3 in the new cell. That might appear to some as the paste value not having worked but it is correct. So if you are having a problem, examine what is happening, looking at both the source and destination and what results you get.


What are two ways you use to make a cell in a worksheet fixed such that whenever used in the formula the value it contains remains the same?

One way is that you can make the cell reference an absolute reference. So cell A1 would be typed as $A$1 in the formula. Any particular formula that is being copied is usually copied either across or down, but rarely both. Because of this, you can actually use a mixed reference as the other option. If the formula is to be copied down, then you lock the row part of the reference, so it would be A$1 as the reference. If it is being copied across, you lock the column part of the reference, so it would be $A1 as the reference. As most people aren't as familiar with mixed references, they usually use absolute references anyway. The answer to your question is absolute and mixed.


What is an absolute formula in Excel?

It would be a formula that includes absolute references in cells. When such a formula is copied, those cell references will not change. An absolute cell reference includes cell references with two dollar signs in them, like: $A$2.
