Excel Ranges

Why do you use a ! in ranges?

RE: Excel Ranges

Hi Shreyas,

Thank you for your question.

An exclamation mark is used when creating formulas relating to cells in another worksheet or workbook.

The following formulas shows a link to cell C1 in Sheet2:

=Sheet2!C1

The exclamation mark separates the Sheet Name from the cell.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Sorting data stored in rows

Primarily Excel is set up to sort data that is stored in columns rather than rows.

It is possible to get Excel to sort data stored in rows however.

Click in the row you want to sort, or select the cells in the rows you wish to sort.

Go to Data - Sort, then go to the Options button in the bottom left corner of the Sort dialogue box.
