Question

Which of the following options correctly represent a formula with Absolute References?

A.)=(A$1$-B$1$)
B.)=(A$1-B$1)
C.)=($A1-$B1)
D.)=($A$1-$B$1)

Answer 1

The answer is D =($A$1-$B$1)

sources:just took the test

Answer 2

D.)=($A$1-$B$1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The $ sign placed in between the characters of a cell makes the cell an absolute reference in any formula that involves the cell.

For example, the function "=A1 - $B$2" would give a result equivalent to "=A1 - B2" however, a drag down of the formula would result in a change of the function A1 to A2, A3, A4, A5...

Hence from the options, =($A$1-$B$1) is the only formula with absolute references.
