Cells:
The idea of cells on a spreadsheet may seem too simple to define but there is one thing that should be kept in mind that aids in the overall understanding of how to use cell referencing in a spreadsheet. Each cell reference you are given is a combination of a column reference and a row reference. For example cell A1 can only be found by first finding column A and then row 1. Keep this in mind when trying to understand and use absolute and relative cell referencing.
-
Formulas:
are the third type of data to be found in an Excel spreadsheet, the first two being text and numbers. All formulas and functions begin withan equal sign. For example the formula =A1 + B1 would add the two numbers found in cells A1 and B1. You would enter this formula in the cell where you want the result to be viewed.
-
Functions:
Predefined formulas that perform calculations by using specific values, in a particular order or structure. For example, the SUM function adds values or ranges of cells, and would take the form of =SUM (A1:D1). The average function would take the form of =AVERAGE (A1:D1), and would find the average of the numbers between the range of cell A1 and D1. There are literally hundreds of functions available for use within Microsoft Excel and they can all be seen if you select Function from the Insert menu.
-
Operators:
Refers to the symbols used to represent the basic mathematical concepts that we are already familiar with such as addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. In Microsoft Excel these operators can be added to a formula or a function by using the following symbols +, -, /,and *.

everal individual spreadsheets called
-
Sheet tabs.

At the bottom of the Excel screen
-
A relative cell reference
is automatically adjusted when copying a formula to other cells. For example, if the following formula, =A1+B1 was copied, from cell C1 down to C2, the formula when copied would change to = A2+B2.
-
An absolute cell reference
refers to a value that does not change when being copied to other cells. For this example the same formula as above will be used but with one small change: absolutes will beadded to the row values in the formula. In Microsoft Excel absolutes are represented as dollar signs, $).
-
Cell comments
are additional explanatory notes, which you can attach to any cell in a spreadsheet.
