CELL REFERENCING IN FORMULAS AND ITS TYPES
A cell reference is a cell address that can be used in a formula to denote a specific cell. A formula
may contain reference of other cells. In such a case, the result of a formula depends on the values in
the referenced cells. In case you make any change in the referenced cells, the result will automatically
be changed.
