Autofill a Relative
Reference
In the
previous page we created an equation in Cell C6 and tested it.
Please Autofill that equation to all of the dates in Column
C.
3. Try
This: Autofill a Relative Reference
Select
Cell C6. Double Click the AutoFill handle in the lower right
corner of the Cell.
What Do
You See? The formula in Cell C6 will be copied to all of the
dates in Column C. However, instead of copying $3.25, the price in
Cell B1, Cell C10 says "Product" and Cell C11 says "Pigs."
What Else Do You See? The numbers in Column E
also indicate a problem. The first equation in Cell E6 calculates
correctly.
#VALUE means the data doesn't make any sense:
there may be a mismatch. In this
example, Excel can't multiply Pigs*205 (Text times a
Number).
