Hi,

$ in a cell refers to Absolute reference and not relative reference. The
pointer to the cell value remains constant.

For example: It is like Pointer to an address in arrays in C programming. In
relative refernce the value will change based on the changing reference.

Note: You can use also use named definition as pointer to address. The named
definition will be store the absolute address of the cell or range of cells
as reference.
