What is reference?
Reference is address of cell. By which we can uniquely identify a cell. Actually address and reference two are same but difference is that during formula or function, when we use address then this address is called reference.

According to reference format: -
There are four (4) types of reference
1. Relative reference like A1,B6,A9 etc. (Default reference).
2. Absolute reference like $A$1, $B$6, $A$9 etc. (Fixed reference)
3. Mixed reference like $A1, A$1 , $B6, B$6 etc. (Relative + Absolute)
4. Circular Reference (iteration calculation/ loop)
According to reference style:-
1. A1 (General / By default)

What is Relative reference?
When we drag or paste a reference column wise then reference will be changed according to column name and When we drag or paste a reference row wise then reference will be changed according to row no. This is default reference.
What is Absolute reference?
Absolute reference means Fixed reference. When a reference never changes if we drag or paste column or row wise . This reference is called Absolute reference.
We use $ sign before row and column. Or we use F4 function key to fixed a address .
