    Question



    In MS Excel 365, what is the Microsoft Excel formula to create an absolute cell reference for cell B2?

    A.

    B2

    B.

    $B$2

    C.

    $B2

    D.

    B$2

    Correct option is B

    An absolute cell reference in Excel is created by adding a dollar sign ($) before both the column letter and the row number. In this case, $B$2 ensures that both the column (B) and the row (2) remain fixed when the formula is copied to other cells.
    Important Key Points:
    1. Absolute reference: $B$2 locks both the column and row.
    2. Mixed reference: $B2 locks only the column, and B$2 locks only the row.
    3. Relative reference: B2 changes both the column and row when copied.
    Knowledge Booster:
    1. Absolute references are commonly used in scenarios involving fixed values, such as tax rates or constant multipliers.
    2. To toggle between reference types, use the F4 key when editing a cell reference in Excel.
    3. Mixed references are useful when only one dimension (row or column) needs to remain constant.
