Mixed References in Excel

Question

What are mixed references in Excel?

Answer

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 ($) symbol. For example, if you use a formula as =$D4+E4, then you are making the value that is present in cell D4 as absolute and the value in cell E4 as Relative.
