I am a type of cell reference that changes when the formula from one cell is copied to another in Microsoft Excel. What am I? Correct Answer Relative Reference

The correct answer is "Relative Reference".

Key Point

  • Relative References
    • With relative cell referencing, when we copy a formula from one area of the worksheet to another, it records the position of the cell relative to the cell that originally contained the formula.
    • This is the default mode of referencing in a spreadsheet.
    • All cell references are relative references by default.
    • It is convenient where a user needs to repeat the same calculation across multiple rows or columns.
    • When copied across multiple cells, they change based on the relative position of rows and columns.
    • For example: if user wants to copy the formula = A1+ B1 become= A2+B2.

Important Points

  • Static Reference
    • A static reference is an unbound reference to an attribute, method, or member class.
    • The type of a static reference is a higher-order.
  • Absolute Reference
    • It refers to a reference that is locked so that rows and columns won't change when copied.
    • For example $C$3 refers to cell C3.
  • Anonymous Reference
    • It is a reference that is not bound to an identifier.

You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to create anapplication. The application uses the ADO.NET Entity Framework to model entities. Theapplication allows users to make changes to entities while disconnected from the central data store. You need to ensure that when the user connects to the central data store and retrieves new data, the application meets the following requirements:
  • Changes made to the local data store in disconnected mode are preserved.
  • Entities that have already been loaded into the local data store, but have not been modified by the user, are updated with the latest data.
