A cell reference is how an individual cell is identified. It is the column of the cell and the row of the cell. So cell N45 is in column N and row 45. The name box shows what cell or named range is currently selected, making it easier to know where you are on the spreadsheet. It is also used to go to a cell or range by typing the cell reference or the name of the range into it.
