Selecting a Range of Cells
A range is a rectangular section of cells which are next
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, the range address is B2:D10.
B2 is the address of the top left cell. D10 is the address
of the bottom right cell.
To edit the contents in a range of cells, you have to select
the range.
