In most cases where people use an absolute reference, a mixed reference will do. A mixed reference will lock a column or row, but not both. Most formulas are copied either down or across, but rarely both. If a cell needs to be locked in a formula, then we lock the row when copying down or lock the column when copying across. See the related question below for more details on the different kinds of cell references.

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.
