A cell in Excel is a fundamental element of a worksheet: one of the boxes you see in the grid of an Excel worksheet.
Understanding Excel Cells
Each cell is uniquely identified by its cell reference. This reference is determined by the intersection of a column letter and a row number.
- Column Letter: Columns are labeled alphabetically (A, B, C, ..., Z, AA, AB, etc.).
- Row Number: Rows are labeled numerically (1, 2, 3, etc.).
Cell Reference Example
The reference tells you exactly where a cell is located. For example, a cell located in column D and row 5 would be referred to as cell D5.
