What is referencing in terms of Microsoft Excel?

Referencing is basically referring to another cell in a formula. There are 3 types of cell addressing or cell referencing mechanisms in Excel. They are relative, mixed and absolute. Relative is typing the address as it is in the cell. When the formula is copied, the reference in subsequent formula changes accordingly. With absolute and mixed referencing you are preventing the cell reference from partially or fully changing in the formula when it is copied. This is done by putting a dollar before the cell's column or row, for mixed referencing, and before both parts for absolute referencing. A1 - Relative: The cell address will change when copied in a formula. $A1 - Mixed: The cell address column will not change when copied in a formula. A$1 - Mixed: The cell address row will not change when copied in a formula. $A$1 - Absolute: The cell address will not change when copied in a formula.

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.

In that case, data changing in the original Access file will not change data in the Excel file. To do that there must be a link between the data. You can also import data from Access into Excel and from Excel into Access, again maintaining a link to the source if you want.
