CELL RANGE
A group of selected cells is called a cell range. The selected cells should be in continuation to form
a range. Cell range is used to perform a calculation on multiple cells. The address of a range is
created by using the starting and the ending cell addresses separated by a colon (:) sign. For
example, if we have selected the cells from B2 to E4 then the address of the range will be B2:E4.
SELECTING A CELL RANGE
We can select a range by using the mouse and by using
the Shift key.
By using the mouse
Click in the first cell from which you want to start the
range, then press and hold the left mouse button and
drag the mouse diagonally to select the desired range.
Now release the mouse button.
By using the Shift key
Click in the first cell from which you want to start the range, then press and hold the Shift key
down from the keyboard and click on the last cell up to which you want to make a selection. Now
release the Shift key.
CELL REFERENCE
A cell reference is a cell address that can be used in a formula to denote a specific cell. A formula
may contain reference to other cells. In such a case, the result of a formula depends on the values
in the referenced cells. Cell references are especially helpful when you create complex formulas.
There are three types of cell references used in Excel: Relative, Absolute and Mixed.
