Does anyone know if there is a shortcut for converting an Excel cell reference to an abosolute reference.

Eg =F1 to =$F$1
 
the F4 key

Yes, Lilliabeth is right.

Doing F4 actually rotates references like this:
initial ref A2
press once becomes $A$2 ( absolute column and row )
press again ... A$2 ( relative column/absolute row )
press again ... $A2 ( absolute column/relative row )
press again ... A2
and so on.



Cheers, Glenn.
