Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of cell references are automatically updated when copied?
A
Formula
B
Relative
C
Worksheet
D
Absolute
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A formula that contains a relative cell reference changes as you copy it from one cell to another. For example, if you copy the formula =A2+B2 from cell C2 to C3, the formula references in C3 adjust downward by one row and become =A3+B3.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two types of cell references: relative and absolute. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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).

Detailed explanation-4: -Relative references When copied across multiple cells, they change based on the relative position of rows and columns. For example, if you copy the formula =A1+B1 from row 1 to row 2, the formula will become =A2+B2.

Detailed explanation-5: -Relative and absolute cell references for calculating numbers. In this formula (B4*$C$1), there are two cell reference types: B4-relative cell reference that is adjusted for each row, and. $C$1-absolute cell reference that never changes no matter where the formula is copied.
