The intersection of a column and row in excel called "cell"
It is formed where a column and row intersect on a worksheet. This is what gives the cell its address, the column and row references. Where column C and row 7 intersect forms cell C7 for example.
It is the reference to the cell formed where column B meets row 20.
cell
XFD1 is the cell reference at the end of the first row in Excel. Column XFD is the 16384th column.
