What type of cell reference is C13?

It is a relative reference. If the formula =A1+A2 is copied to B1 then the formula changes to =B1+B2


If a percentage changes often you would want to type the current percent in a cell then constantly refer to the cell's reference what is the term?

You would make the cell reference an absolute reference if you are putting the reference into a formula that is going to be copied.

A relative reference.


What cell reference instructs excel to adjust the reference as it copies it to the destination area?

Cell references in a formula don't change if they are moved. Relative references will change if they are copied. Mixed references may change, depending on the type of mixed reference and which direction they are copied.


Is a Relative Reference a Cell Address?

Not exactly. Every cell has an address. When using the addresses in formulas, they are referring to a cell. When a formula is copied, what happens to the cell references differs, depending on the type of cell reference. See the related question below.Not exactly. Every cell has an address.

What type of cell reference changes when it is copied when using Excel?

A relative reference will change. A mixed reference may change, depending on the way it is copied. If the column is locked and the formula is copied down, then it will change. If the row is locked and you copy across, then it will change.A relative reference will change. A mixed reference may change, depending on the way it is copied.

Would it be a mixed or relative cell reference to copy the same formula in cell C13 to cell D13?

What determines what type of reference a cell is, is how it is typed, not what happens when you copy it. It is the type of reference that influences how it changes when it is copied, not the other way around. If the formula does not change at all, it would be an absolute reference. The cell references would all have 2 dollars, like $C$5. If it does change, it can be either a mixed or a relative reference. A mixed reference will have one dollar sign, either $C5 or C$5. What direction it is copied will and how it changes, is determined by which dollar you have. The first dollar locks the column, and the second dollar locks the row. A relative reference has no dollars. Copying a formula from C13 to D13, will change the column references only, so if the cell reference is the first kind of mixed, then it won't change.


How do you lock a cell within a formula in Excel?

If you mean have it so that if the formula is copied, that the cell reference won't change, then you use an absolute reference. To do that put a dollar before the column reference and one before the row reference. As an example A3 would be $A$3 when locked. A quick way as you type the cell reference is to press the F4 key to change the reference type.


Does Microsoft Excel make an exact copy of a formula?

That will depend on the formula and how it is copied. A formula with no cell references will not change when it is copied. A formula that has all cell references as absolute will not change when it is copied. Formulas with all mixed references may or may not change depending on the type of mixed reference it is and the direction it is copied. For example, the following formula will not change if it is copied across, but will if it is copied down:=$B3*10The following formula will not change if it is copied down, but will if it is copied across:=B$3*10A formula with relative references will change when it is copied.

What type of cell reference changes when copies?

A Relative reference will change. A mixed reference can also change. Only an absolute reference will not change. See the related question below.


What type formulas uses a relative cell reference?

Any kind of formula can use a relative reference. It just depends on what it is you want to do. Normally it is a formula where when it is copied, you want it to refer to different cells.
