Change a cell reference from relative to absolute
Excel 2000
When I "automatically" generate a cell reference in a formula by clicking on the source cell, the reference is generated as a relative reference rather than an absolute reference. This is OK when the source cell is in the same worksheet in the workbook, but is "not useful" when the source cell is in a different worksheet. Currently I am editing the cell reference manually. Is there a way to change the cell reference generation to absolute, or to flip (with a keystroke or a toolbar button, etc.) the reference from relative to absolute? e.g., in R1C1 notation. change: =[other sheet]!R[-4]C[-3] which is what is generated automatically to =[other sheet]!R47C5 I seem to recall reading about doing this in the past, but I can't find a search term to use in the help system to bring it up.
