A cell is a single unit on a worksheet. A cell range is two or more cells. A range is always rectangular and is identified by its top right cell and bottom left cell addresses, separated by a colon like any of these:
A3:B15
C1:C10
D4:N1243
A rectangular group of contiguous cells; that is cells that are touching each other in one block.
As many as you select. A range is the term used to identify the cells you select.
What is the difference between cell and cell range ???
A cell reference is how an individual cell is identified. It is the column of the cell and the row of the cell. So cell N45 is in column N and row 45. The name box shows what cell or named range is currently selected, making it easier to know where you are on the spreadsheet. It is also used to go to a cell or range by typing the cell reference or the name of the range into it.
The name box shows the address of the current cell selected or the name of that cell if a special name has been given to it. It can also show the name of a range. You can type in a cell reference or a range name in the name box and it will bring you to that location. The name box appears to the left of the formula bar.
The question answers itself. Single cell referencing is when you reference a single cell. Range referencing is when you reference a range of cells.
The range will be selected and there will be one active cell. Only one cell can be active, not the whole range.
False. A range is a contiguous block of cells, not contagious.
You select the cell which will act as the top left cell of the destination.
In Excel, an adjacent cell range is the selection of nearby cell range that is touching another range, but is still a separate range. A non-adjacent cell range is the selection of cell range that is not touching any other cell range. In either case, it can only be when more than one range is selected. After selecting one range, pressing and holding the Ctrl key while selecting a range can select another range.
In most spreadsheet programs a range of cells is represented within a pair of parenthesis - so the first punctuation mark is the opening paragraph mark, i.e. "("In more detail, the syntax is:(column-row:column-row)or descriptively:( column of the first cell in the range rowof first cell in the range : column of the last cell in the range row of the last cell in the range )For example:(A4:D18)Where the address of the first cell in the range is column A, row 4 and the address of the last cell in the range is column D, row 18
Range
It will display either the current cell or a name of a named range if that range is selected. If the range selected is not named, then the name box show the cell reference of the active cell.
Usually you select the top left cell of the range.
There is always one active cell. Its address will be displayed in the Name box, or the name of a named cell or named range. If a named range is selected, there is still only one active cell, but the name of the range will be shown in preference to the active cell's address.
