Explanation : A reference to a cell in a spreadsheet, such as B3, that indicates its relationship to other cells. When a formula containing relative references is copied to a different cell, it maintains its relative references. For example, the formula may state that the data in cell A3 is multiplied by the data in cell A1. Since this is a relative reference, it means the data in the current cell is to be multiplied by the data in the cell two rows above it. If the formula is moved to cell B3, the data in cell B3 will be multiplied by the data in cell B1.
