What else can I help you with?
What is it called when a cell reference that refers to cells by their fixed position in a worksheet and which remain the same when the formula is copied is referred to as an?
An absolute reference. An absolute cell reference.
What are two ways you use to make a cell in a worksheet fixed such that whenever used in the formula the value it contains remains the same?
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 $A1 as the reference. As most people aren't as familiar with mixed references, they usually use absolute references anyway. The answer to your question is absolute and mixed.
What Keeps a cell reference constant when copying a formula or function?
If you want to copy a formula from one cell to another (or fill down) without Excel changing the cell references automatically, you'll need to write the cell references with dollar signs included for absolute referencing. Eg: the reference '$D3' locks the reference to column 'D' but allows the row to change when the cell is copied. Eg: the reference 'D$3' locks the reference to row '3' but allows the column to change when the cell is copied. Eg: the reference '$D$3' locks the reference to column 'D' and row '3', so the cell reference cannot change at all when the cell is copied. While you are typing in a cell reference, pressing the 'F4' key will cycle through the combinations for you, so you don't need to type the dollar signs yourself.
Can you copy cells with an absolute reference?
A relative cell reference is one that will change to a different cell if you copy the formula. An absolute reference is one that will always use the same cell. For example, say you have a percentage in cell B1 that you want to add to all the cells from A3 down. In cell B3 you could use the formula '=A3*(1+$B$1)'. If you copy this formula to the cells below B3, the reference to A3 will change to be the cell immediately to the left, because it is a relative cell reference. By adding the $ symbol before the B and the 1, however, an absolute reference is created. It will always refer to cell B1.
Would it be a mixed or relative cell reference to copy the same formula in cell C13 to cell D13?
What determines what type of reference a cell is, is how it is typed, not what happens when you copy it. It is the type of reference that influences how it changes when it is copied, not the other way around. If the formula does not change at all, it would be an absolute reference. The cell references would all have 2 dollars, like $C$5. If it does change, it can be either a mixed or a relative reference. A mixed reference will have one dollar sign, either $C5 or C$5. What direction it is copied will and how it changes, is determined by which dollar you have. The first dollar locks the column, and the second dollar locks the row. A relative reference has no dollars. Copying a formula from C13 to D13, will change the column references only, so if the cell reference is the first kind of mixed, then it won't change.
What happens to the cell reference when it is copied across?
If a formula is copied across the column references will change, but the row references will stay the same. So for example C3 would become D3, then E3, then F3 and so on. The column letter is changing, but the row number is not.
If you copied b4 to c6 what would be the resulting cell refernce in c6?
If you copy the content of cell B4 to cell C6, the resulting cell reference in C6 will be adjusted based on the relative position of the cells. Since C6 is two columns to the right of B4 and in the same row, C6 will reference the value in B4 directly as it is a relative reference. Therefore, C6 will display whatever value or formula was originally in B4.
What type of cell reference is required if a formula containing a cell reference requires that the referenced cell remain the same even if the formula is moved to another cell position?
An absolute reference.
What happens when you copy a formula that contains an absolute reference to a new location?
only d formula will b copied not the reference..
When you enter a formula in a cell Excel assigns the cell the same format as the cell reference in the formula?
first
Anytime you incorporate a cell reference into one of your formulas what kind of reference have you made?
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.
Why does mitochondrial DNA get copied more often than cellular DNA?
Because for every cell there are many mitochondria within it so for the daughter cell to have the same amount of mitochondria all their DNA must be copied. but there is only one set of DNA within the nucleus of the cell for the cell itself so that only needs to be copied once. if that makes any sense?
