Excel Cell Reference: Absolute, Relative or Mixed?

Join 400,000+ professionals in our courses here 👉 link.xelplus.com/yt-d-all-cou...
Reference cells correctly when writing Excel formulas. If your formulas are not working correctly when you copy them to other cells, you've probably made a mistake with your cell referencing.
Some cell references might need to be fully fixed, some partially fixed. This is called absolute versus relative cell referencing in Excel. Understanding this concept really simplifies your Excel work.
🔍 What You'll Learn:
- Cell Referencing Basics: Grasp the concept of Relative Referencing and see how cell references adjust as formulas move across your worksheet.
- Absolute Referencing Unveiled: Discover how to lock cell references with Absolute Referencing, essential for consistent calculations across your data.
- Mixed Referencing Mastery: Learn when and how to combine Relative and Absolute referencing for precise and flexible formula adjustments.
- Practical Examples: Apply these concepts in real-world scenarios, like calculating yearly totals, quarter percentages, and sales data comparisons.

[@abdurrazzaaq5291]

Hi Leila.. nailed it right into my head for .. if and or.. Crystal clear. I have a doubt why do you -1 while calculating percentage and threshold

[@LeilaGharani]

I'm glad to hear it's clear :) the -1 comes from this calculation: The difference from Budget to Actual is (Actual-Budget)/Budget. This can also be written as Actual/Budget - Budget/Budget which equal Actual/Budget -1
