                  to each other and at least one side of their border is
                  common. A range is defined by the cell addresses of the
                  top left cell and the bottom right cell with a colon (:) in
                  between. For example here, the range address is B2:D10.
                  B2 is the address of the top left cell. D10 is the address of
                  the bottom right cell.
