values that are in cells C1 and C2 (93 and 14), why would you use
cell references in the formula (=C1+C2) instead of just writing the
formula like this: =93+14? (Pick one answer.) 1. The formula is
more professional looking. 2. The formula will be more accurate. 3.
The formula result will automatically update when cell values
change.Get to know Excel 2010: Create formulas 20. Test question 4
If you want to add the values that are in cells C1 and C2 (93 and
14), why would you use cell references in the formula (=C1+C2)
instead of just writing the formula like this: =93+14?Answer:3. The
formula result will automatically update when cell values change.
You can update the cell values without having to change the
formula. As each cell value changes, the formula result
automatically updates. If you typed the values themselves into the
formula, youd have to revise the formula every time you changed the
values. Get to know Excel 2010: Create formulas 21. Test question 5
Youve used the SUM function to add the numbers in column C. You
want to copy the formula from column C to add the numbers in column
D. What kind of cell reference will be in the new formula in column
D? (Pick one answer.)1. Absolute. 2. Mixed. 3. Relative.Get to know
Excel 2010: Create formulas 22. Test question 5 Youve used the SUM
function to add the numbers in column C. You want to copy the
formula from column C to add the numbers in column D. What kind of
cell reference will be in the new formula in column D?Answer: 3.
Relative. When you copy a formula with a relative cell reference
from one cell in column C to another cell in column D, the cell
reference will automatically update to reflect the new location of
the formula. Get to know Excel 2010: Create formulas 23. Test
