When you drag a formula in excel, it changes refferences ( dragging down changes row refference, the numeric part and dragging horizontally along row changes column refference). $ is meant for not changing the refference, when it is put with row indicator, like A$1, it will not change row 1 while dragging vertically. And when it is put with column indicator, like $A1, it will not change the column while dragging horizontally. When put with both, like $A$1, it will fix the refference to A1 cell, no matter dragging the formula horizontally or vertically.
