7. What is relative and absolute cell address in the spreadsheet?

Ans. Relative Cell Address: ​In this reference the row number gets one added when we drag the
formula downward in column and in the same way, when we drag the formula horizontally from the
left to right column, the column name of the cell address is added on to the next column letter.

Absolute Cell Address:​ In Absolute referencing, a $ symbol is used before the column name as
well as row number to make it constant in any formula.In this case, even if you drag your formula
in any direction, the cell name remains constant.

8. Explain any two operations performed on data in a spreadsheet.

Ans. ​Formulas and Functions are two main operations performed on data in a spreadsheet.

Explanation: A spreadsheet is a software application used to store, organize and analyze data
values in tabular form. The spreadsheet operates on data present in the table cells. In the
