SELECTING CELLS IN A WORKSHEET
Apart from entering data into a worksheet, Excel 2019 also provides the facility to perform various
other operations with data such as modifying, inserting, moving/copying and deleting. To perform
all these operations, we first need to select the cell that contains data. Excel 2019 allows us to select
a single cell or a group of cells.
Single Cell: Click on the cell to select it.
Group of Cells or Range: Click on the first cell from where you want to start the selection and
drag the mouse diagonally up to the cell to which you want to make selection. We can also select
a range of cells by using the Shift key. Click on the first cell, then press and hold the Shift key, and
click on the last cell up to which we want to make a selection.
Entire Row/Column: Click on the row heading to select the entire row or click on the column
heading to select the entire column.
Entire Worksheet: Click on the Select All button located below the Name box to select the entire
worksheet. Shortcut key to select the entire worksheet is Ctrl + A.
