An adjacent range in Excel refers to a collection of cells that are continuous and next to each other, forming a single rectangular block. In contrast, a collection of separate ranges that are not touching would be considered non-adjacent ranges. Non-adjacent ranges can be selected by holding down the Ctrl key while selecting different cells or ranges. Understanding the distinction between these types of ranges is essential for effective data manipulation and analysis in Excel.

collection of adjacent cells, rows, or columns
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.
No. You need to use the Ctrl key to select non adjacent ranges.
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 Excel 2007, a cell range can be contiguous, meaning it consists of adjacent or neighboring cells (e.g., A1:B5). A cell range can also be non-contiguous, where it consists of multiple disjoint cell areas separated by commas (e.g., A1:A5, C1:C5).
An adjacent group of cells are known as a range or a block. There is no particular name for a group of non-adjacent cells.
A workbook in Excel is a collection of worksheets, which may be what you mean. There is no particular name for a collection of workbooks. They are just workbooks or spreadsheet files.
A series of two or more adjacent cells in a column or row in an Excel spreadsheet is called a range. It can also refer to a rectangular group of cells selected together in the spreadsheet. Ranges allow you to perform calculations, formatting, and other operations efficiently on multiple cells at once.
Commas are used to separate arguments in Excel functions.
