                  Excel is one of the most useful programs because it provides a wide range of tools to work with data.
                  In this chapter, you will learn about cell range, charts, formulas, and functions.
                  UNDERSTANDING CELL RANGE

                  A group of selected cells is called a range. To form a range, the selected cells should be in continuation.
                  When a range is selected in a worksheet, a rectangular shape is formed.
                  We can use a cell range to perform a calculation on multiple cells. We create the address of a range by
                  separating the starting and ending cell addresses with a colon (:) sign. For example, if we have selected
                  the cells from B2 to E3, then the address of the range will be B2:E3.
                  Selecting a Range in a Worksheet

                  Perform the following steps to select a range by using the mouse:

                               Click on the first cell from which   1
                               you want to start the range.
                                                                                               Hintbot
                                                                            To select a range: Click on the first cell. Press
                                                                           and hold the Shift key and click on the last cell
                                                                            up to which you want to make the selection.

                                                  Press and hold the left mouse button and drag   2
