Question

Which symbol is used to indicate an absolute cell reference in Excel?

A.

#

B.

@

C.

&

D.

$

Correct option is D

The correct answer is: (d) $

Explanation:
In Excel, the $ symbol is used to indicate an absolute cell reference. When you add a dollar sign before the row number and/or column letter (e.g., $A$1), it locks the reference to that specific cell, meaning it does not change when you copy the formula to other cells.

  • $A$1: Both the column (A) and the row (1) are absolute.
  • A$1: Only the row is absolute.
  • $A1: Only the column is absolute.

The other symbols (#, @, &) are not used for cell references in Excel.
