Excel - What does the $ sign mean in spreadsheet calculations?

I am trying to construct a spreadsheet to calculate the amount of annual
leave due to people when they change their working habits throughout the
year.  I want to be able to show the person how the calculation has been
arrived at and also want to be able to re-use the spreadsheet time and time
again.  I am using Excel 2003.

Can you please help?

Thank you.

Your description doesn't relate to the question you asked as the title
for this thread, so I'm not sure what you want an answer for.

The $ symbol is used to fix cell references so that either the row or
column (or both) do not change when a formula is copied across or down
- look in XL Help under Absolute referencing for further details.

Hope this helps.

The $ means that the cell reference is absolute rather than relative.
