When you open a spreadsheet application, what is the intersection of a row and a column called?
Box
Cell
Block
Data-point
Cell
In a spreadsheet application, a cell is the fundamental unit of data entry formed at the intersection of a horizontal row and a vertical column. Each cell is uniquely identified by an alphanumeric coordinate, such as A1, where the letter denotes the column and the number denotes the row.
ISO/IEC 26300:2006 (OpenDocument Format for Office Applications)
In a spreadsheet application, a cell is the fundamental unit of data entry formed at the intersection of a horizontal row and a vertical column. Each cell is uniquely identified by an alphanumeric coordinate, such as A1, where the letter denotes the column and the number denotes the row.
Cell┬аAddress=Column┬аIdentifier+Row┬аIdentifier
Spreadsheet software functions as a two-dimensional grid. Data addressing is governed by a coordinate system where columns are indexed alphabetically (A, B, C... Z, AA, AB...) and rows are indexed numerically (1, 2, 3...). The intersection provides a specific addressable location in the computer's memory to store values, formulas, or labels.
Columns are vertical stacks, while rows are horizontal spans.
A cell can store text, numbers, dates, or mathematical formulas.
Active cell is the currently selected cell, distinguished by a thicker border.
The range of cells is denoted by a colon, e.g., A1:B10.
Enables structured data organization.
Allows for rapid automated calculations via cell referencing.
Limited capacity compared to dedicated Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS).
Prone to errors if manual formula references are incorrect.
Financial modeling and accounting.
Statistical data analysis and scientific research.
Box is a general term for a container, not a spreadsheet technical term.
Block refers to a rectangular selection of cells, not a single intersection point.
Data-point is a general statistical term, not the name of a spreadsheet coordinate entity.
B is correct тАФ The intersection of a row and a column in a spreadsheet is defined as a Cell.
Always remember that in spreadsheet formulas, relative references (like A1) adjust automatically when copied, while absolute references (like \A$1$) stay fixed using the dollar sign syntax.
