 What is a Cell Reference?


A Cell Reference is a special Reference Number made by combining Column name and Row Number. Actually a Cell Reference is used to access contents of a cell within a formula. For example, "A1" is an example of Cell Reference. "A" is taken from column name and "1" is taken from Row number. Therefore the intersection cell of column A and Row number 1 is called "A1".
