    The document discusses three types of cell references used in Excel formulas: relative references, where the cell references change when copied to another cell (e.g., B3 changes to B4); absolute references, where the cell references do not change when copied ($B$3 remains $B$3); and mixed references, which can be either relative or absolute for the row or column portion of the reference. It provides steps to create a sales worksheet to calculate subtotals, VAT, and totals using all three types of cell references.
