A group of at least two or more cells on an Excel worksheet is called what?

• A. Cell
• B. Active Cell
• C. Cell Range
• D. Column

Answer: (C)

In Excel, a block of two or more cells is called a range. A range is a rectangular area defined by its top-left and bottom-right cells, usually written with a colon between them like A1:C3, which means all cells from A1 through C3. This is different from a single cell, which is just a cell, and from a column, which is a vertical strip of cells in one column. The active cell is simply the currently selected single cell. Operations like sum, formatting, or charting frequently target a range because it applies to every cell within that rectangular area.
