3 Cell References By default, a cell reference is relative. This is what caused the errors.

4 Cell References Make the cell reference absolute by preceding the rows 1, 2, and 3 with a dollar sign ($). Then, when you copy the formula (=B7*12*C$1/(C$2*C$3)) down column C, the formula stays exactly the same.

25 AutoFilter Feature Function For medium-to-large quantities of data, using Microsoft Excel s AutoFilter is a quick and simple way to filter through that information and find what you need. Filtering doesn't change your data in any way. As soon as you remove the filter, all your data reappears, exactly the same as it was before.

31 AutoFilter Feature Function Remove the Auto filter by clicking its icon again in the Data tab. The worksheet returns to its original configuration unchanged.

32 Dialogue Boxes Feature There are times when an application needs to get the attention of its user. It might be the user has entered in some data incorrectly or the application needs some help in determining what to do next. The most direct way is through the use of a dialog box.

33 Dialogue Boxes Feature Several excel intrinsic operations use dialogue boxes. The most commonly known are the built in to windows and excel. One example is the creation of data validation to control the input into a cell.
