Using references

A reference identifies a cell or a group of cells on a worksheet. It tells Pocket

Excel where to look to find the values used in a formula.

A cell’s reference is the set of coordinates that a cell occupies on a worksheet. For

example, B3 to the cell at the intersection of column B and row 3. To see a cell’s

reference, tap the cell and look in the Name box (which is directly below File and

Edit on the toolbar).

A cell range is a reference that covers two or more adjacent cells on a sheet. For

example, the cell range, A1:B5, includes cells in rows 1 through 5 and in column

A and column B.

To quickly go to another cell or range, type the cell or range reference in the

Name box and then press ENTER.

You can reference only those worksheets that are within a workbook. If the

worksheet’s name includes spaces, such as January Sales, enclose the entire sheet

reference in single quotation marks, ‘January Sales’.

To reference another sheet in a formula

Select a cell, and then type an equal sign (=) followed by the worksheet’s name,

an exclamation point (!), and the cell or cell range. For example, =Sheet2!$A$1

refers to cell A1 on Sheet2.
