Absolute referencing in a spreadsheet uses dollar signs ($) before the column letter and row number (e.g., $A$1) to fix the reference to a specific cell. When the formula containing an absolute reference is copied to other cells, the reference remains unchanged, always pointing to the original cell. This is essential when a formula in an entire column needs to refer consistently to a single specific cell.
