Detailed explanation-1: -In Excel, an absolute reference is a cell reference in which the column and row coordinates stay constant while copying a formula from one cell to the other. A dollar symbol ($) is used before the coordinates to correct them. For instance, $D$2 is an absolute reference to cell D2.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -$D$21:$D$44 is the column of numbers to add, the amount column. $B$21:$B$44 is the first criteria range, the region column. B10 is the first criteria value, the region. $C$21:$C$44 is the second criteria range, the department column.
Detailed explanation-4: -Absolute cell references In an absolute reference, each part of the reference (the letter that refers to the row and the number that refers to the column) is preceded by a “$” – for example, $A$1 is an absolute reference to cell A1. Wherever the formula is copied or moved, it always refers to cell A1.
Detailed explanation-5: -In this style, columns are defined by letters and rows by numbers, i.e. A1 designates a cell in column A, row 1.
