function
I can't remember why you would put a $ in a function in a spreadsheet. I
removed the $ and it didn't change the number that was there, so why is it needed? |
The $ symbol means absolute cell reference. So when you copy the formula some
where else it will always refer back to that Column, Row or Cell. Ex. $A1, A$1 or $A$1. "function" wrote: I can't remember why you would put a $ in a function in a spreadsheet. I removed the $ and it didn't change the number that was there, so why is it needed? |
So that the cell references (row and/or column) will not change during
copying.
