Absolute references: fixing columns

In other cases, it can be useful to make a reference where the column is fixed and the row shifts relative to the copying direction.

In this exercise, you'll fix the column in your partial absolute references to calculate the population density in people per square mile. Using a partial absolute reference here will allow you to calculate the Density (mi2) column by copying the references from Density (km2).

Instructions

  • Change the formulas in E2:E11 to use a partial absolute reference to the Population column, where the column is fixed.
  • In F2:F11, calculate the population density in people per square mile by copying the references in E2:E11.
