USING CELL RANGE REFERENCES


In order to refer to a range of cells, you need to be able to read notations for this. When referring to a range, you
will use 2 cell references, the upper left cell and the lower right cell in the range you want to highlight with a colon
separating them: A1:C5 for instance, refers to a range that starts in A1 and goes to C5. A range will ALWAYS be a
rectangle.
Use the following sets of instructions to create pictures in Excel using cell ranges:
