Hello out there,

I have just recently learned Absolute Statements and am having some trouble
grasping the following. I understand that you can lock the row and the
column by using the dollar sign - hitting short cut key F4. (Ex: =B24*$B$27).
If I continue to hit F4 I can then just lock the row or the column. I would
like to know what is reason for locking just a row or a column? As well if I
lock a row does that mean that any other information that is in that row is
locked as well?

Thanks
