Keep hold of the Ctrl key when you are selecting separate cells with the mouse. You can also press the F8 key and using the cursor keys select some cells. The press Shift-F8 and it will stop selecting and then using the cursor keys you can move to another part of the worksheet and press F8 again and start selecting with the cursor keys and the initial selection will remain selected. Press F8 again to stop completely.
To select non-adjacent cells in Excel, hold down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard while clicking on the individual cells you want to select. This will allow you to select cells that are not next to each other within a worksheet.
To select two or more non-adjacent cells in applications like Excel, you can hold down the Ctrl key (Cmd key on Mac) while clicking on each cell you want to select. This allows you to choose multiple cells that are not next to each other. Alternatively, you can use the Shift key to select a range of adjacent cells, but for non-adjacent selections, the Ctrl key method is required.
Each intersection of a row and column is a cell. So it will depend on which version of Excel you have There are 16,777,216 cells in Excel 2003 and earlier. There are 17,179,869,184 cells in Excel 2007 and after.
The squares are referred to as "cells" and there are a total of 17,179,869,184 cells per worksheet. Each excel workbook can have an unlimited number of worksheets.
Select the cells before you sort them and include any cells related to the ones that are being sorted on. So if you were sorting a list of names and for each name there was other details on the same row then you need to select not just the names, but all of the cells with the data. Then when you sort, each row will move with the first cell as it is sorted.Select the cells before you sort them and include any cells related to the ones that are being sorted on.

There is no such thing as a non-contiguous range. A range is a group of cells that are together in a rectangular block. Non-contiguous refers to cells that are not touching. So you can have more than one range which do not touch, so what you have are non-contiguous ranges. It is possible to select non-contiguous ranges by first selecting one range and then while holding the Ctrl key, select other ranges.
Excel will attempt to sum cells by selecting nearby cells which it presumes are the ones to be selected and summed. Usually this will be the cells above. If you select a range of cells and then click the Autosum button it will use the selected cells and sum them, putting the total at the bottom of the column, or it can do it for several columns, giving a total for each.
Excel spreadsheets consists of "cells". Each box is a cell. Cells that are stacked on top of each others like floors in a high building are called a column. And cells that are strung out end to end like carriages on a train are called rows.
A set of cells that are usually next to each other is called a "cell range." In spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, a cell range can include adjacent cells in a row, column, or a rectangular block of cells. This allows for operations like calculations or formatting to be applied to multiple cells simultaneously.
If you use the fill handle, it will fill all the cells in between. If you select non adjacent cells at one time and then paste, it automatically pastes them beside each other. So if you select A1, B1 and E1 and copy them, and then put the cursor in A2 and do a paste, the values will be pasted into A2, B2 and C2. The best thing to do is copy them separately and paste them where you want to. So select A1 and B1 and do a copy. Go to where you want to put them and do a paste. You can do a copy in lots of ways, like through the Edit menu, Ctrl and C, the copy icon or by right clicking on the mouse. Paste can be done through the menus and icons or by using pressing Ctrl and V.
Non-adjacent cells are cells that do not touch each other. Cell A3 and Cell D9 are non-adjacent. A3 and B3 or A3 and A4 would both be sets of adjacent cells.
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.
