Detailed explanation-1: -A reference is a cell’s address. It identifies a cell or range of cells by referring to the column letter and row number of the cell(s). For example, A1 refers to the cell at the intersection of column A and row 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -By default, Excel uses the A1 reference style, which refers to columns as letters (A through IV, for a total of 256 columns), and refers to rows as numbers (1 through 65, 536). These letters and numbers are called row and column headings. To refer to a cell, type the column letter followed by the row number.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. Answer: The row and column portions of a relative reference are not preceded by a “$” – for example, A1 is a relative reference to cell A1. If moved or copied, the reference changes by the same number of rows and coulmns as it was moved.

Detailed explanation-4: -By default, a cell reference is a relative reference, which means that the reference is relative to the location of the cell. If, for example, you refer to cell A2 from cell C2, you are actually referring to a cell that is two columns to the left (C minus A)-in the same row (2).
