Whenever you were going to copy that reference (or range) to other cells and you wanted the reference to stay exactly the same when so doing.
Example:
Imagine you were using a function like VLOOKUP (it's not important if you know what this is or not). You just need to appreciate that to use this you have to declare a range of cells (a table array) to look in. Which would be written something like A1:B100 (for example). Now if you wanted to copy that exact formula to multiple cells you would almost certainly want to make this range absolute so that it didn't change from one cell to the next.
In this example, if the range was absolute it would look like $A$1:$B$100.
To create an absolute reference in spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, you use the dollar sign ($). For example, if you want to make cell A1 an absolute reference, you would write it as $A$1. This means that when you copy or move the formula, the reference to A1 will remain constant, regardless of where the formula is placed.
No. A10 is a relative reference. $A$10 would be an absolute reference. As a relative reference, it will change when a formula is copied. An absolute reference will not changed in a formula when it is copied.

C6 is a relative reference. $C$6 would be an absolute reference. As a relative reference, it will change when a formula is copied. An absolute reference will not changed in a formula when it is copied.
Yes.

$f$61 is an absolute reference.
F61 is a relative reference in Excel. $F$61 is an absolute reference.
=B16 would be a relative reference =$B$16 would be an absolute reference. you can also highlight the cell reference and press F4 to add the "$" signs around the reference.
One way is that you can make the cell reference an absolute reference. So cell A1 would be typed as $A$1 in the formula. Any particular formula that is being copied is usually copied either across or down, but rarely both. Because of this, you can actually use a mixed reference as the other option. If the formula is to be copied down, then you lock the row part of the reference, so it would be A$1 as the reference. If it is being copied across, you lock the column part of the reference, so it would be $A1 as the reference. As most people aren't as familiar with mixed references, they usually use absolute references anyway. The answer to your question is absolute and mixed.
