Each user of the Windows operating system should be familiar with the Cut, Copy and Paste commands. In addition to cropping, copying, and pasting content, Excel also offers “advanced paste“ options that are enabled with Paste Special option. With it, we can choose whether we only copy a content, format, content and format, or something else. The many options it offers make it easy to format existing tables.
Excel styles are a useful way to define certain features of cell content formatting and give them a name, so that we can later use them more easily to format similar tables. For example, a style with the title “Header” can be used to format the headers of all the tables we make. Once saved style can be applied multiple times, and the subsequent change of style automatically changes and the formatting characteristics of all the cells in which the style is applied.
Although each cell has its own address, so we know how to find the data it contains, sometimes it would be good if we can access the cell using the term that determines its contents more closely. With this purpose, Excel has the ability to designate a cell or group of cells. The names thus created can be used as operands in formulas, function arguments, or to enable us to selectively select a cell or group of cells.
Each cell in the table has an address that consists of the name of the row and column in the cross section of which it is located. However, sometimes it is necessary to indicate both a worksheet or a workbook (document), it belongs so that we could use it as an operand in some form. Below it will be the address of the cell address that uniquely determines where it is located.
When copying formulas Excel automatically updates the address of cells that it contains. This is a very useful feature, since it allows us to create a formula once and then only copy it into the cells where it is applied, similar to the initial cell. However, sometimes there is a need for one or more address-operands to change. In this case, we use techniques for fixing addresses in a cell.
