Cell
Basics
Introduction
You will need to know the basic ways you
can work with cells and cell content in
Excel to be able to use it to calculate,
analyze, and organize data.
In this lesson, you will learn how to select
cells, insert content, and delete cells
and cell content. You will also learn
how to cut, copy, and paste cells; drag
and drop cells; and fill cells using the
fill handle.
The cell
Each rectangle in a worksheet is called a
cell. A cell is the intersection of a row
and a column.
The cell
Each cell has a name, or a cell address based on
which column and row it intersects.
The cell address of a selected cell appears in the
name box. Here, you can see that C5 is
selected.
The cell
You can also select multiple cells at the same
time.
A group of cells is known as a cell range.
Rather than a single cell address, you will refer
to a cell range using the cell addresses of the
first and last cells in the cell range,
separated by a colon.
For example, a cell range that included cells A1,
A2, A3, A4, and A5 would be written as
A1:A5.
