- The formula `='E:\sharmila\[Main File.xlsx]Sheet2'!$A$2` in Sheet1, cell A1 references a specific cell (A2) on Sheet2 within an external workbook named "Main File.xlsx" located at the specified file path. The dollar signs (`$`) make this an absolute reference, meaning it will always point to cell A2 on Sheet2, regardless of where the formula is copied.
- The formula `=SUM(Sheet1!B2:B6)` in Sheet2, cell A2 calculates the sum of the values in the range B2 through B6 on the same worksheet (Sheet2). This is a relative range reference within the current sheet.
- Both formulas demonstrate how Excel can reference data from other sheets, either within the same workbook or from external workbooks, allowing for dynamic calculations and data consolidation.
