explain with reference to the context​

Answer 1

A cell reference, or cell address, is an alphanumeric value used to identify a specific cell in a spreadsheet. Each cell reference contains one or more letters followed by a number. The letter or letters identify the column and the number represents the row.

In a standard spreadsheet, the first column is A, the second column is B, the third column is C, etc. These letters are typically displayed in the column headers at the top of the spreadsheet. If there are more than 26 columns, the 26th column is labeled Z, followed by AA for column 27, AB for column 28, AC for column 29, etc. Column 55 is labeled BA. Rows simply increment numerically from top to bottom starting with "1" for the first row.

Examples of cell references are listed below:

First column, seventh row: A7

Tenth column, twentieth row: J20

Sixty-first column, three hundred forty-second row: BI342

One thousand column, two thousandth row: ALL2000
