In Microsoft Excel, the active cell has a thick line (border) around it. If you type, this is the cell into which your typing will be put as a value (numeric or text) or formula.

If you select a range of cells, the cell at which you started making the selection is the active cell. Although the whole range is highlighted, only the active cell has the characteristic border.
