Hi Renee

the term relative values or relative cells mean these are cells that will change dependant on what cell you are on, now if you use relative values in a formula for example =d4+f2*h17
this will depend on where you copy this formula to if this was in cell f10 and you copy this down to f11 then the formula will become =d5+f3*h18

so depends on where you copy a formula to that is like the ones shown above it will change to be relative to the answer

hope this makes things clearer
