Columns and rows in Excel spreadsheets

© Ted French
Definition: Rows run horizontally in an Excel worksheet. They are identified by a number in the row header.

In Excel 2003, there are 65,536 rows in each worksheet. In Excel 2007, there are more than one million rows.

The intersection point between a row and a column is a cell.

Cells are the basic storage unit for data in a spreadsheet.

Examples: If you increase the size of the font in an Excel spreadsheet, the rows will automatically increase in size to accomodate the larger font.
