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.
