What is the difference in cell references and cell values in excel?

A cell reference is the address of the cell like A1 or B20 or C45. A cell value is what is actually in the cell. So in cell A1 you could have 23, in B20 you could have 190 and in C45 you could have 3461.

C5, is a relative reference. $C5 and C$5 are mixed references. $C$5 is an absolute reference. A relative reference and a cell address are therefore done in the same way. In the context of a formula, we are referring to cells, so we can talk about cell references and in particular when we are using the words relative, mixed and absolute. See the related question below.

In order to do formulas that use values in cells, you need to be able to refer to those cells in the formulas. That is what a cell reference does. You can then create formulas that can be copied quickly and be used for any values that may appear in the cells. As much as possible cell references, rather than values, should be used in formulas.

How do you calculate fat in milk using Excel formula in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet?
You would first need to know how the fat in milk is calculated and have a formula for it. You would need to know what values are needed to do it. Then you would need to get the values you need and enter them into cells in the spreadsheet. Using these cell references to build your formula, you could do the calculation.
