the dollar signs indicate an 'absolute' cell reference. - one $ for the
column and one $ for the row. If this cell is referenced elsewhere in the
spreadsheet as A1 and the formula is copied, the cell reference will change.
If it is absolute, ($A$1), the formula referening it can be copied anywhere
and the reference to A1 stays the same.
