If you're unfamiliar with absolute cell referencing, let's quickly review. Imagine you're performing calculations involving sales totals and percentages. Copying formulas can lead to incorrect results without absolute references as the cell references change. But here's a game-changing solution: named cells.

By giving cells meaningful names, you can simplify your formulas and enhance efficiency. Let's say you have a performance bonus percentage - why not name it "PerformanceBonus"? Then, using this name in your formulas ensures consistent results, no matter where you copy the formula.

Embracing named cells, you're not only simplifying your formulas but also making them more versatile and easier to remember, especially when working across multiple sheets.
