Extra Information
In Excel, columns are named as A, B, C, D, E, F, and so on.
In Excel, rows are named as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on.
Cells in an Excel sheet are made with intersections of rows and columns.
Cell Address is used to identify cell on an Excel Sheet and Cell Address comprises of a letter and a number. The letter shows the column and the number shows the row.

Example
Suppose you want to add values present in cells from A1 to A5 and display the sum in A6.
First, write the values in A1 to A5 and then click on A6 cell and type=SUM(A1:A5)
After that press "Enter"
In the A6 cell, you will get the sum of values present in cells from A1 to A5.
In case you have typed the wrong formula or want to modify it then you can click on the cell where you have written the formula and there will be a Formula Bar available above the worksheet area which will show the formula that you have written in the cell and you can edit it.
