Explanation:

Firtsly, an absolute reference in Excel refers to a reference that is "locked" so that rows and columns won't change when copied. To do this,we put a $ dollar sign ( =A$1,) before the row coordinate to lock only the row.

A relative reference in Excel is a cell address without the $ sign in the row and column coordinates example A1.

Having known what absolute and relative reference are, we wlil write the below formula in cell B6 that will later be copied to cell B9:

: =INDEX(INDIRECT($B$3),A6)
