What to Focus On

  • A cell is formed at the intersection of a row and a column.
  • A cell address uses column letter first and row number second.
  • The active cell has a dark boundary.
  • Sheet Tab shows the worksheets in a workbook.
  • By default, one worksheet named Sheet1 is displayed.
  • A new sheet is added with the '+' sign near the sheet tab.
  • Cell referencing means using a cell address in a formula.
  • Relative referencing changes when copied.
  • Absolute referencing stays constant with '$' signs.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A cell is the same as a range of cells.

The address of a cell is written as row number first and then column letter.

The active cell is the cell with the largest value or the one that was last edited.
