Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Absolute address is the cell address whose value does not change if data must be copied. The correct writing of cell absolute is ____
A
$A1$
B
$A1
C
A$$1
D
$A$1
E
A1$
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Excel absolute cell reference (with $ sign) The dollar sign fixes the reference to a given cell, so that it remains unchanged no matter where the formula moves. In other words, using $ in cell references allows you to copy the formula in Excel without changing references.

Detailed explanation-2: -Absolute references are used when you want to fix a cell location. These cell references are preceded by a dollar sign. By doing this, you are fixing the value of a particular cell reference. For example, if you type the formula = A1+A2 into A3 and copy it to another location: B3, the formula will change to = B1+B2.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you do not want cell references to change when you copy a formula, then make those cell references absolute cell references. Place a “$” before the column letter if you want that to always stay the same. Place a “$” before a row number if you want that to always stay the same.

Detailed explanation-4: -Relative and absolute references behave differently when copied and filled to other cells. Relative references change when a formula is copied to another cell. Absolute references, on the other hand, remain constant no matter where they are copied.
