In Excel if you copy a formula Excel automatically changes it for you If we type
=C4*D3 in cell D4 and the copy that into D5 it will automatically change it to
=C5*D4. This is called relative cell referencing. However we want the reference in
the formula to D3 (10) to stay constant. Excel solves this problem by using the
[dollar] symbol $ to indicate when a particular cell reference is to remain fixed
("absolute") when copied. The column, or the row, or both can be fixed by putting $
in front of the column letter, or the row number, or both. e.g. $D7 means that when
copied the column reference will always be D, wherever we copy it to, but the row
will change if we copy into cells up or down from the original row. Similarly, G$3
(for example) will always copy as row 3) and $C$5 will always copy as column C
row 5.
5. Replicate this formula into cells D5 to D9. Note that in D5 the formula will
become =C5*$D$3. Excel has changed the first part of the formula but not
the second.
6. In cell E4 enter the formula =D4*$E$2 remember that you can always click
on the cells rather than typing in the references.
