            Step 1  Click on the first cell from which you want to start the range.
            Step 2   Press and hold-down the left mouse button and drag the
                     mouse diagonally to select the desired range.

            Naming a Cell Range

            Excel 2016 allows us to assign a name to a cell range. This
            name can be used in place of cell address in formulas.
            Perform the following steps to assign a name to a cell
            range:
            Step 1   Select the range of cells to which you want to
                     assign a name.
            Step 2  Click on the Formulas tab from the Ribbon.
            Step 3   Click on the Define Name command under the
                     Defined Names group. The New Name dialog
                                                                                     Cell range selected
                     box appears.
            Step 4   Type the name and click on the OK button. The assigned name gets appear in the Name
                     box.












                                 New Name dialog box                 Naming cell range
            Now, we can use this name in place of cell address in formulas.

                CELL REFERENCING IN FORMULAS AND ITS TYPES

            A cell reference is a cell address that can be used in a formula to denote a specific cell. A
            formula may contain reference of other cells. In such case, the result of a formula depends on
            the values in the referenced cells. In case you make any change in the referenced cells, the result
            will automatically be changed.
