    In the previous chapter, we learnt how to open Excel, how to enter data, and how to select
                      it, and also learnt about working with worksheets. In this chapter, we will learn more about
                      Excel.

                                SELECTING A RANGE OF CELLS

                      Let us learn how to select a range of cells.

                                                                                               To select a row:
                      SELECTING A CELL
                      To select a cell, click on the cell. It will become the active      Short key  Ctrl  +  Shift +

                      cell and a green border appears around it. You can also
                      use the arrow keys to move to change the active cell.                       Left/Right Arrow

                      SELECTING A ROW

                              Click here to select an entire row

                      To select a row, place the mouse pointer on the row header of the               Click here to select
                      row to be selected. The mouse pointer will change to an arrow. Now                 entire Column
                      click on the row header and the entire row gets selected.

                      SELECTING A COLUMN

                      To select a column, place the mouse pointer on the column header
                      of the column to be selected. The mouse pointer will change to an
                      arrow.  Now  click  on the column header, the entire  column gets

                      selected.
                      Or

                      Press Ctrl + Shift + Up/Down Arrow key on the keyboard.

                      RANGE OF CELLS
                      We might want to select more than one cell at a time to

                      perform a certain task. When we select more than one cell
                      at a time, these contiguous (adjoining/connected) cells form
                      a range.
