                                                                                       cell.
                 a range of selected cells. A cell’s address consists of its
                 column letter and row number.


                 CELLS
                 The intersection of a row and a column is called a cell. A cell is the
                 basic unit of a worksheet in which you enter data in the form of text,
                 numeric values, formulas or functions. A cell in your worksheet is

                 activated or selected for entering data into it. Each cell has a unique address. It is named
                 after combining the name of a column and row.
                 Address of cell: <Column letter><Row number>

                 The address of the selected cell is B9 which is made after combining
                 the column’s letter, i.e., B and the row’s number, i.e., 9.



                 Active Cells
                 A selected cell is known as the active cell. It has a dark border around it.


                 FORMULA BAR

                 The content  of the active  cell appears  in the
                 formula bar. When  the  cell contains  text  or a
                 fixed number, the content of the formula bar is
                 the same as what you see in the cell.




                 WORKSHEET TABS

                 Excel files are called workbooks and a workbook
                 can have multiple worksheets. Each worksheet has
                 a tab at the bottom of the screen. We can add a

                 new worksheet by left-clicking on the + sign.

                 STATUS BAR

                 The status bar is located at the bottom of the workbook window. It displays the status and
                 results of the common functions used in Excel 2010.
