Absolute cell referencing is used for formulas that are being copied from one cell to another and are required to reference a constant cell. They could be used for working with percentages that are being used by a range of calculations for example. So if you have a list of values that have to be taxed, the tax rate could be put in near the top of the column and then used for all values. Usually when we use absolutes, we only really need a mixed reference. If a formula is being copied down, then it is only necessary to lock the row. If it is being copied across, it is only necessary to lock the column. The only time you need an absolute reference is when a formula is being copied down and across, which doesn't happen very often. Even when people only need a mixed reference, they use an absolute reference anyway, and usually that is not a problem and it is fine to do so.
If you had a block of cells that covered a number of rows and columns, and you need to multiply each figure by a percentage rate, you could use an absolute reference. It might be a block of individual cells by a salesman that each earns a commission. So your range of sales could be in the cells B3 to H15. In B1, you could have the percentage rate. You then might want all the commissions in the cells B17 to H29. In B17 you would put the following formula and copy it down and across to fill the range B17 to H29.
=B3*$B$1

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.
