Cell references will adjust themselves to accommodate the insertion of deletion of rows and columns, so that formulas do what they are meant to do. The user is still free to make any additional adjustments that may be needed.

The cells will change position, but their content will not change. The cells will have their addresses changed. Formulas will also adjust to make sure there are not lots of errors caused.
