Mixed References
A mixed reference is a reference that refers to a specific row or column. It is basically a combination
of relative and absolute references. In some situations, you may need to make the cell reference as
‘Mixed’ reference, so that you can lock either a column or a row by preceding it with a Dollar ($) symbol.
For example, $A1 or A$1.
REFERENCES TO OTHER WORKSHEETS
You can refer to cells in other worksheets within the same workbook just as easily as you refer to cells in
the same worksheet. For example, to enter a reference to cell A2 in Sheet2 into cell A1 in Sheet1, do this:
Select cell A1 in Sheet1, Click on cell A2. and Select cell A1 in Sheet 1, and you will see
and type an equal (=) sign. 1 then press Enter key. 3 that it contains the formula = Sheet2! A2.
2
Click the Sheet2 tab.
The exclamation point separates the worksheet name of the reference from the cell address.
Hintbot
When writing formulas, any portion of the formula that denotes a cell or range of cells can be
made absolute by hitting the F4 key while your cursor is on that cell reference.

following formulas in the cell A4:
a. (A1 - A2) * A3
b. A3 + (A1 * A2)
c. A1 * (A2 + A3) – 10

FUNCTIONS
Functions are predefined formulas in Excel to perform both simple and complex calculations. They
accept arguments and return values. Arguments are input to the functions. The arguments can be
numbers or text. The values should be given in between opening and closing ( ) parenthesis.
