Creating Tables

Using Cell References

When the Formula Editor is open, cell reference tabs appear on the table’s top and left

sides.

The reference tabs help you quickly create a cell reference. A cell reference identifies a

column (using letters) and a row (using numbers). For example, A1 is the upper-left

cell. A4 is the cell in the fourth row of the first column.

Adding cell references to the Formula Editor’s text field

To refer to a specific cell:

m

Click to place the insertion point in the text field where you want the reference to

appear, and then click a cell in the table. The Formula Editor inserts a reference to the

cell.

You can also type a cell reference (A4) in the text field, using the reference tabs as

guides.

To add a reference to a list of individual cells:

m

Click each cell. The formula Editor automatically inserts an addition operator (+)

between them.

You can also type multiple cell references separated by a comma (or a semicolon if

you’re in a locale where the decimal separator is a comma). For example, to sum

values in three cells, you could type SUM(C2,D2,E2) in the text field of the Formula

Editor.

Columns are referenced
alphabetically.

Rows are referenced
numerically.

This is cell D4.
