References everywhere!
In this chapter, you've explored the following concepts:
- Relative references
- Copying cells
- Calculations with references
- Absolute references
You'll put all of these concepts into practice to build a spreadsheet that highlights population metrics for each country for different growth rates. The cell references you'll use will ensure that the cell calculations will automatically update to any changes in the Growth Index
.
