Toggle absolute and relative references. It's much faster and easier than typing $ characters manually. To convert an existing formula, enter cell edit mode, place the cursor in or next to the reference you'd like to convert, then use the shortcut. Note: in Excel 2016 for the Mac, you can also use fn + F4.
The format for an absolute reference is $A$1 (referring to cell A1). Relative references are in the format A1 and if copied to a different cell the cell reference changes relative to the new location. For example, if the formula specifies A1 and is copied to a new location two rows down the new formula would specify A3. Category: Software Platform: All Windows.
