Question

If you are referencing cell (C2)in Excel and want to be able to copy the formula and keep using the data in cell C2 in every place you copy it to, how do you reference the cell, you don't need to include the =?

Answer 1

To reference cell C2 in Excel in a way that allows you to copy the formula while keeping the reference to C2 constant, you need to use an absolute reference. You can do this by adding dollar signs before both the column letter and the row number.

So, the reference would be:

```
$C$2
```

Using `$C$2` ensures that no matter where you copy the formula, it will always reference the value in cell C2.
