It is possible for a formula not to have any cell references. Lots of functions do not use any values. To show the current date you could have the following in a formula:
=TODAY()
You could have a formula with a single cell reference with some operation being done on it:
=B4*10
You can have a formula that just has a cell reference which will just request that the current cell displays what is seen in another cell:
=B4

An absolute reference.
A relative reference.
An absolute cell reference will not change when it is copied.
Normally it would be a relative address, but depending on what you want to do with the formula, you could have it as an absolute or mixed cell reference. If the cell reference is the same as the cell that the formula is in, you will have a circular reference.
To reference a cell relative to the one containing the formula, you can use relative cell references. For example, if the formula is in cell A1 and you want to reference the cell one column to the right, you can use B1. If you want to reference the cell one row down, you can use A2. This way, the reference adjusts based on the formula's location.
The question answers itself. Single cell referencing is when you reference a single cell. Range referencing is when you reference a range of cells.
first
The type of cell reference that changes when the formula is moved or copied is called a relative cell reference. In Excel, this is denoted by the cell address without any dollar signs (e.g., A1). When you copy a formula with a relative reference to another cell, the reference adjusts based on its new position.
relative cell reference
If you enter the cell address as a relative cell, then yes. You can make a cell reference mixed or absolute, which will change how it behaves when the formula is copied. $A$1 is an Absolute reference. It won't change when the formula is copied. $A1 and A$1 are both Mixed references. When the formula is copied, the part of the cell reference immediately after the $ will not change. The A will never change in $A1 but the 1 can change. The A can change in A$1 but the 1 can't. A1 is a Relative reference. When the formula is copied both the row and column reference can change. When you are typing in a formula, at the point you get to the cell reference, press the F4 key and it will change the style of the cell reference. If you keep pressing it, it will cycle through the different forms of referencing for that cell.
It can simply be called a cell reference. There are a number of ways of having a cell reference in a formula. See the related question below.
