16. Use ____ references when you want different formulas to refer to the same cell.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When dealing with formulas that need to point to the same cell across different formulas, the terminology matters for how the references behave as you copy or fill formulas.
Option: absolute
This is the term that describes a reference that does not change when you copy the formula to another cell. It locks the row, the column, or both, so multiple formulas can consistently point to the exact same cell. In practice, an absolute reference uses a dollar sign prefix like $A$1 to fix both row and column, ensuring all formulas keep referring to that single cell. This matches the idea of requiring the same cell reference across formulas.
Option: mixed
A mixed reference locks either the row or the column, but not both (for example, $A1 or A$1). This means part of the reference can move when you copy the formula, which is useful in some scenarios but does not guarantee that different formulas will point to the exact same single cell across all copies. So it is not what you want when you want the same cell across formulas without shifting.
Option: fixed
The term 'fixed' is not the standard nomenclature in spreadsheet terminology for describing cell references. While it might colloquially suggest a fixed position, it is not the formal label used in Excel or Google Sheets, which can lead to confusion or incorrect usage in real worksheets.
Option: relative
A relative reference adjusts both the row and column when you copy the formula to another cell (e.g., A1 becomes B2 when moved one cell to the right and one down). This behavior is the opposite of what you need when you want all formulas to point to the same cell, so relative references are unsuitable for this purpose.
In summary, the description that aligns with wanting different formulas to refer to the same cell is the absolute reference, since it remains constant regardless of where the formula is copied or filled.
