What symbol is used for absolute cell referencing?

In Microsoft Excel, the dollar sign ($) is used for absolute cell referencing. Absolute references keep a specific cell fixed when copying formulas to other cells. This means that no matter where you copy the formula, the cell reference with $ remains constant.

For example:

• 
  

  $A$1 is an absolute reference to cell A1.

  
  


• 
  

  When copied, it will always refer to cell A1, unlike a relative reference (A1), which changes based on the formula's new location.
