Guided Lesson:  
@ Finish Hurricane spreadsheet 
@ Slides 41 - 43 
@ Working With Cell References in Excel 2010 http://www.gcflearnfree.org/excel2010/9.4 
   stop at 3 minutes 
@ Go to the Spreadsheet folder, then the Relative Cell Reference folder, then 
    Open Blooming Bells Nursery file 
@ Right click on Sheet 2 worksheet tab and rename to Autofill 
@ Right click and change the color on the tab 
Autofill- allows you to quickly fill in days of the week. 
@ Type in Monday then drag cursor down. 
@ Type in January then drag cursor down. 
@ Go to Sheet 1 
@ Click on Cell F4 
@ Type in = then click on Cell D4 
@ Type * then click on Cell E4 
@ Press enter and you will see the answer $29.75 
Relative Cell Referencing- copies formulas and automatically adjusts to correct cell range. 
@ Now click on the cell with $29.75 
@ You will see the black border because it is an active cell. 
@ Put your cursor in the lower right corner of the border and you will see a plus sign 
@ Drag the plus sign down so it calculates the other answers. 
Independent Exercise: 
Absolute cell referencing- formulas do NOT adjust or do NOT change. 
For example- $C$12- column A does not change and row 2 does not change. 
Go to My Computer- then Student Docs- then Witkowski folder 
then- Spreadsheet folder- then RELATIVE CELL REFERENCE folder 
then- rose variety file
