Best Answer

A range lets you refer to a group of cells easily, by referring to the top left and bottom right of a rectangular groups of cells. Without a range you could add all the cells from A2 to A0 like this:

=A2+A3+A4+A5+A6+A7+A8+A9+A10

Using a range reference you could do it like this:

=SUM(A2:A10)

What could be a nonadjacent range in Excel?

A range can only be cells that are adjacent and in a rectangular shape. It is possible to select non-adjacent cells but this would not be regarded as a range. Each would be a separate range. So usually non-adjacent ranges will have gaps between them, although it is possible to have cells from to separate ranges right beside each other. You will know them by their boundaries around them.
