A cell reference identifies the location of a cell within a spreadsheet. Each reference uses the column letter followed by the row number, such as A1, C7, or D15. These references allow formulas to perform calculations using data from other cells.
Cell references are critical to Excel’s functionality because they make spreadsheets dynamic. When the value of a referenced cell changes, formulas update automatically, ensuring calculations remain accurate.
