Cell


A cell may refer to any of the following:

  • A cell is the intersection between a row and a column on a spreadsheet that starts with cell A1. In the following example, a highlighted cell is shown in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. D8 (column D, row 8) is the highlighted cell. Any modifications made while this cell is highlighted will be limited to this item in the spreadsheet.

  • Here, D8 is the active cell. In the formula bar, you can see that the cell content is =SUM(D2:D5). This formula evaluates to the result of $162.00 by calculating the sum of the values stored in cells D2 through D5.

  • Each cell in a spreadsheet can contain any value that can be called using a relative cell reference or called upon using a formula. See our spreadsheet definition for further information on using spreadsheets.
