Whole Column Reference
You will want to refer to all the cells inside a particular column when operating with an Excel worksheet with any number of rows. Simply type a column letter twice with a colon in between to refer to the entire column B, for example, B:B.
Example: You may want to find the sum of a column of data in certain cases. While you can do this with a regular cell range, such as =SUM(B1:B10), you will need to change the cell range if your spreadsheet grows in size.
Excel, on the other hand, has a cell range that does not require the row number and takes all the cells in the column in action. If you wanted to find the sum of all the values in column B, for example, you would type =SUM (B:B). You can add as much data as you want to your spreadsheet without having to change your cell ranges if you use this type of cell range.
Relative, Absolute and Mixed Cell Reference in Excel
Microsoft Excel, sometimes known as MS Excel, is a potent spreadsheet program. In Excel, each worksheet consists of a number of cells that are made up of rows and columns. Each cell has a unique reference, which enables users to quickly access and address the required cell (or cells) within the functions. In Excel, cell references are crucial, particularly when working with huge data sets in functions and formulas.
This article covers a quick overview of Excel Cell References. The various sorts of cell references that Excel offers and the detailed instructions for using each one are also covered in the article.
