Which term indicates the column and row in which the cell is located?

• A. status bar
• B. worksheet
• C. cell reference
• D. chart sheet

Answer: (C)

Locating a cell in a spreadsheet is done with its cell reference. The cell reference is the label that combines the column letter and the row number to identify a specific cell, such as A1 for column A, row 1, or C5 for column C, row 5. This reference is what formulas use to point to that cell’s value. The status bar shows information like sums or counts, not a cell’s position. A worksheet is the entire grid of cells, while a chart sheet is a separate page for charts. Therefore, the term that indicates the column and row of a cell is the cell reference.
