Cell address $A$4 in a formula means it is a

Options:
A .  mixed cell reference
B .  absolute cell reference
C .  relative cell reference
D .  All of these
E .  None of these
Answer: Option E
  • Cell address A4 in a formula doesn't fit into any of the three standard types of cell references: absolute, relative, and mixed.
  • Absolute cell reference: In an absolute cell reference, both the column and row are fixed, and the $ symbol is used to lock the cell. For example, $A$4 is an absolute reference to cell A4, and if it is copied to another cell, it will remain the same.
  • Relative cell reference: In a relative cell reference, the cell is referred to by its position relative to the cell containing the formula. For example, if the formula is in cell B2 and it refers to cell A2, the reference is relative, and if it is copied to cell C3, it will refer to cell B3.
  • Mixed cell reference: In a mixed cell reference, one part of the cell reference is fixed, while the other part is relative. For example, $A2 is a mixed reference that is fixed in column A and relative in row 2.
  • Cell address A4 in a formula doesn't contain any $ symbol, so it is not an absolute or mixed cell reference, and it doesn't change when copied. Also, it doesn't refer to a position relative to the formula cell, so it's not a relative cell reference.
  • Therefore, none of the given options applies to cell address A4 in a formula, and the correct answer is option E, None of these.
