The most basic unit of the worksheet is the cell. A cell is a box at the intersection of a column and a row. Each cell is referred to by its cell address. The cell address is its column letter followed by its row number e.g. A1 or D4.
A cell must be selected in order to write in it. The cell pointer or cursor is used to activate a cell, highlighting the cell and making it recognisable to the spreadsheet user. As seen below, a worksheet cell can contain text, numbers and formulas.
In the example, the values in the cells B3 and C3 will be added by a formula and the result put into cell D4. |
