An absolute cell address is a cell address that does not change when you move a formula from one cell to another. A relative address will change in the relation to the number of cells you move from the original cell that held the formula. You display absolute cell addresses by adding $ to the address:
- A1 is a relative address.
- $A$1 is an absolute address.

What is an absloute cell reference?
An absolute cell reference in a spreadsheet (such as Excel) refers to a cell reference that remains fixed when copied or moved. It is denoted by placing a dollar sign ($) before the column letter and row number (e.g., $A$1). This ensures that the reference does not change when formulas are copied to other cells.

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.
