Hi Deba, The $ in a cell or range reference means "absolute reference". When there is no $ it is a "relative reference". If you copy the formula to other cells, the relative references will change and the absolute references will remain unchanged.
You can put a $ in front of the column letter, the row number, or both. For example: =$A$1 =$A1 =A$1 =A1 Are all valid. If you had put one of the above formulas in cell B1, and then copied it to cell C1, the formulas, respectively, would look like this afterwards: =$A$1 =$A1 =B$1 =B1 If instead of copying to C1, you had copied to B2, they would like like this: =$A$1 =$A2 =A$1 =A2 If you had copied to Z100, you'd get: =$A$1 =$A100 =Y$1 =Y100 Hope that helps!
