cell
Single reference area on a spreadsheet grid. It contains information, a label, or a formula. Each cell reference is unique and is determined according to its position in the spreadsheet grid, using letters to find the column and numbers to find the row. For example, cell A1 is in the top-left corner of the sheet, whereas cell D5 is in the fourth column and fifth row.
The information stored in a cell can be unique, or can depend on information held in other cells. In a formula, the user directs the spreadsheet to look at the value held in a specific cell reference, regardless of the actual content. This value could itself depend on a formula referring to other cells in the sheet.
