Venkat, You are digressing from the question, although explaining what absolute and relative reference is good for common understanding. The question in particular, however, is regarding relative reference in vb developer tab.
Vijay, the Relative Reference button is just a way to tell the VBA whether to record macros using and absolute reference, or whether to keep the active cells as a reference point to where the action takes place. In simple terms for example, if you record a macro, keeping your active cells as A1, and if you select D4, the macro will say that you selected D4. However, if you use relative reference, the macro will say you selected a cell that is offset by 3 rows and 3 columns. Hope that's clear.
