• OUTLINE OF WORK

 Relative reference

 Mixed reference

• Rounding number (ROUND, ROUNDUP, ROUNDUP)

• RELATIVE REFRENCE

• A relative reference in excel is a cell address

without the $ sign in the row and column

coordinates, like A1. When a formular with

relative cell, the references changes based on a Also select cell E3, by click on the lower right corner (fill

relative position of rows and columns. handle of cell E3 and drag it down to cell E6.

• B default excel uses reference. See the formular

of cell E3. Cell E3 references (point to) cell C3

and cell D3. Both references are relative.

We can see from the second slide that cell E6

reference cell C6 and cell D6. In other words, each

cell references its two neighbours on the left.

• Absolute reference

• In excel an absolute reference is a cell reference in which the column and row coordinates stay constant while copying a formula from

one cell to another.

• Also to make a cell absolute use the dollar sign ($).

• See the formula in cell D2. This shows that to create an absolute reference of cell C1, you must place a ($) in front of the column letter

and the row number of cell C1($C$1) in the formula in cell D2.

The reference of cell C1 does not change even if we drag

the formula down and across

MIXED REFRENCE

Mixed reference in Excel means only part of the reference is fixed, either the

row or the column, and the other part is relative. Unlike absolute references, one

dollar sign ($) is applied, either in front of the column or the row number.

Sometimes we need combination of relative and absolute reference (mixed

Let’s also look at the formula in cell D6 too.
reference). See the formular in D4.

We can observe that the reference in column C and row 6 are

fixed.
 ROUND FUNCTION
The ROUND in excel function is a built-in function in

Excel that calculates the round number of a given number

of digits to be provided as an argument. The formula takes

two arguments such that the number itself and the number We can also run it to one decimal place by using the

of digits to which we want the number to be rounded up. formula =ROUND(D3,1) as observe in the next slide.

For example, suppose cell D3 contains 22.58767, then we

can round it to either 1 or 2 decimal places by using the

formula =ROUND(D3,2). We can observe it from the next

slides.
 ROUNDUP FUNCTION
• ROUNDUP always behave like ROUND except

it always run the number and away from zero.

Compared to the ROUND we can ROUNDUP a

number from one, two or three decimal places

depending on the value you want to roundup.

Also, in rounding up a number, it can be a

positive or negative number. Let’s a look at

some examples in the next slide.

ROUNDDOWN

The ROUNDDOWN function behaves like ROUND

except that it always rounds the number down. If the num_

digit is greater than zero, then the number is rounded down

to a specified number of decimal places. Let’s look at the

examples.
