What happens when you copy and paste a formula with a relative reference?

When you copy and paste a formula that contains a relative reference, the cell references within that formula dynamically adjust based on the new location where the formula is pasted. Relative references are designed to change depending on their position in the spreadsheet. For example, if you have a formula in cell A1 that references cell B1 (as in =B1 + 10) and you copy this formula to cell A2, the reference will change to point to B2 (as in =B2 + 10) upon pasting. This feature allows for more efficient data manipulation and calculations across different cells without needing to manually edit each formula to match its new context.
