How do you constant a cell in excel after drag?
You use a mixed or an absolute reference. This is done by adding dollar symbols into a cell A1 is a relative reference and will change when copied. $A1 is a mixed reference, in which the row reference changes but the column reference does not. A$1 is a mixed reference, in which the column reference changes but the row reference does not. $A$1 is an absolute reference, so neither the column or row reference changes. In most cases only a mixed reference is needed, though it is common to use an absolute reference. You lock the column reference when copying a formula across a row and you lock the row reference when you are copying a formula down a column. It is only on the very rare occasion that a formula is being copied both down and across, into a block, that an absolute reference is needed.

WHAT DOES THE CELL REFERENCE INDICATE?
It identifies the cell, by indentifying the column and row that it is in. Cell C15 is in column C, row 15. A cell reference also indicates if it is a relative, mixed or absolute reference: C15 (Relative) $C15 and C$15 (Mixed) $C$15 (Absolute)
What is a mixed reference cell?
It is a cell reference that has either the row or column made absolute, but not both, using the dollar sign. A1 is relative. $A1 is mixed. A$1 is mixed. $A$1 is absolute.
How do change relative reference to an absolute reference?
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.

To ensure that the reference to a specific cell does not change?
You make it an absolute cell reference, but putting a dollar symbol before both the column and row reference like this: $A$2
Absolute references are marked with what?
Absolute references in Excel are marked with a dollar sign ($) before the column letter and/or row number. For example, $A$1 would be an absolute reference to cell A1, meaning that the reference will not change when copied to other cells.
What is an absolute cell address in Excel?
An absolute cell address is a cell address that does not change when you move a formula from one cell to another. A relative address will change in the relation to the number of cells you move from the original cell that held the formula. You display absolute cell addresses by adding $ to the address:A1 is a relative address.$A$1 is an absolute address.
What formula that excel use to adjust the cell reference as it to the destination area?
Yes it does. This is because reference "B20" is relative and not absolute. You can change a cell reference so that the column and/or the row reference is absolute and then it will not change when copied to another cell. Click on the help icon and search for "relative absolute" and read the help article for further information.
You create an absolute cell reference by placing a in front of both the column letter and the row number of the cell address?
You create an absolute cell reference by placing a dollar sign ($) in front of both the column letter and the row number of the cell address. This is an internationally accepted convention for most spreadsheet software.
When a dollar sign is used with the row and column of a cell address it is know as what?
It is known as an absolute reference when a dollar is used before the column letter and the row number. If a dollar is used before a column letter or a row number, then it is a mixed reference. See the related question below.
