what is it and how do you correct it

A circular reference means you are trying to create a formula with the answer
in the question. ie. add cells A2 + A3 with be equal in A4. A circular
reference will occure when A2 + A3 + A4 is equaled out in cell A4.

Make sure to check your formulas by pressing (and holding) Ctrl + ~ (left of
the #1)

A Circular Reference is created when a formula refers back to its own
cell, either directly or indirectly.

The Circular Reference toolbar indicates the reference of the cell
containing the circular reference. If you look at the formula or the
Status bar (at the bottom of the sheet), you can pinpoint the source of
the error and correct it.
