Q-1) Differentiate Between Absolute, Mixed and Relative Referencing?

Relative referencing refers to cells by row and column and changes references when copied, like =SUM(A1,B1) becoming =SUM(A2,B2). Absolute referencing places a $ before the reference to keep it fixed when copied, like =SUM($A$1,$B$1) staying the same. Mixed referencing uses a combination of relative and absolute, like =SUM(A$1,B$1), changing one part but keeping the other fixed.

Q-1) Differentiate between absolute, mixed and relative referencing?

RELATIVE REFERENCING Is the most common type of referencing a cell in which cell is called by row and column level (example A1 means column A and Row 1). When a formula with relative referencing is copied, reference of cell will have relative change. For example, if cell C1 has formula =SUM(A1,B1) and the formula is copied to Cell C2, it will be changed to =SUM(A2,B2). ABSOLUTE REFERENCING Will have absolute reference to the cell. If you place $ sign in front of cell reference, cell reference will not be changed during copy. For example, if cell C1 has formula =SUM($A$1,$B$1) and the formula is copied to Cell C2, it will remain =SUM($A$1,$B$1). MIXED REFERENCIN Is the mix of relative and absolute referencing. Example is =SUM(A$1,B$1) or =SUM($A1,$B1) or any other combination of relative and absolute referencing.
