                            CELL RANGE


                  A group of selected cells is called a cell range. The selected cells should be in continuation to form
                  a range. A 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 on the first cell from which you want to start the range,
                  then press and hold the Shift key  on the keyboard and click
                  on the last cell that you want to include in the 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.

                  RELATIVE CELL REFERENCING
                                                                                                 To calculate total of
                  In relative cell reference, you actually refer to the cell that is above       adjacent cells:
                  or below and left or right to a number of rows or columns. When a
                  formula is copied to a new location in a worksheet, the value in the       Short key
                  copied cell also changes.                                                         Alt    +    =
