If you move a formula, as opposed to copying it, cell references will stay the same.

What is relative reference?
if you move or copy the formula to another cell, the cells referred formula will changed. Excel adjusts the cell references relative to the new cell in which the formula is pasted. this is called relative referencing.
What are excel referenences that are fixed?
Absolute references are fixed. Relative addresses are not. You use an absolute reference when you want to move the cell contents without changing the formula.
If you have written a formula you can drag it down or across other cells what is this called?
I am not sure what you are asking, but my best guess is that the question should be "How do you create a formula you can drag to other cells without changing the original cells in the forumula?"The answer to the new question is: Use absolute cell references. Instead of using =SUM(A1:A23) write =SUM($A$1:$A$23). When you move the formula with absolute cell references, it does not change.
What could happen if you move or delete a cell that is used in a formula?
If you delete a cell it most likely will break the formula or at least give you an answer that may not be what you want. If you move a cell, the formula may follow the contents of the cell, but you will need to verify to ensure the answer is what you expected.
If you move or delete a cell that is used in a formula could it cause the error to display in the cell that contains the formula?
Yes, it is possible, especially if you delete the contents of a cell used in a formula. If you move or delete cells referenced by a formula, go back to check the formula to ensure it displays the result you want.
What is the name of the clicked on cell on Excel?
When you refer to a cell in an Excel formula, you can use any of three different types of reference: relative, absolute and mixed.Relative cell references are the most commonly used. A relative cell reference in a formula is based on the position of the formula's cell relative to the cell to which it refers. That means if you move the formula cell, or copy it elsewhere, the reference changes. You denote a relative reference simply by using the cell's column letter followed by its row number: A1. A simple formula that uses relative cell references to add the numbers in cells B1 through B9 is:=SUM(B1:B9)If you place this formula in cell B10 and then copy it across from B10 to C10, Excel makes the sensible assumption that you want to total the values in the same relative positions in column C - that is, cells C1 to C9 - and so it automatically adjusts the formula to read:=SUM(C1:C9)An absolute reference refers to a cell in a fixed location. Such references come in handy when you want to refer consistently to the same cell, or range of cells, throughout a worksheet. For example, if you use a worksheet to estimate a mileage allowance for business travel, you could put the allowance rate per mile in cell D2 and then use an absolute reference to that cell anywhere you use a formula based on the mileage rate. To indicate an absolute reference use dollar signs, thus: $D$2.
What happens in anaphase in meiosis?
Chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell.
What happens in metaphase 1?
pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell
What does point mode in Excel allow you to do?
When typing a formula in Excel, point mode lets you click on a cell or select a range of cells for use in a formula rather than typing their cell references in. This can be useful to make sure the correct cells are being selected or meaning you don't have to check the addresses of the cells to type in. So it can speed up creating formulas.
What do you mean by cell address?
1. An absolute cell address is a cell address that does not change when you move a formula from one cell to another. You display absolute cell addresses by adding $ to the address:
What is an absolute address in spreadsheet?
An address that does not change in a formula when you move the formula to another cell. Relative Address = A1 Absolute Address = $A$1
What happens to a cell that is place in a hypertonic solution?
water will move from a high H2O concentration inside the cell, to a low H2O concentration outside the cell.
