Explanation

In Excel, columns are labeled alphabetically starting with A, B, C, and continuing onward. Rows, on the other hand, are numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. Cell references combine the column letter and row number (like A1). The notation with dollar signs, such as $A$1, indicates an absolute cell reference.
