5. What is a worksheet?
Answer – The worksheet in Calc is also referred to as spreadsheet. The spreadsheet can have many sheets. Each
sheet can have many individual cells arranged in rows and columns. The sheet tab shows its default name as Sheet1,
Sheet2, Sheet3, ….
6. What is the difference between Rows and Columns?
Answer – The sheet is divided into vertical columns and horizontal rows. The rows are numbered as 1,2,3,4,… and
columns are numbered as A, B, C, D, …., Z,
7. What is the difference between cell and cell address?
Answer – The intersection of a row and column is called a cell. It is the basic element of a spreadsheet. It holds data,
such as text, numbers, formulas and so on. A cell address is denoted by its column (letter) and row number. For
example, D4, E9, Z89 are valid examples of cell addresses.
8. What is an Active cell?
Answer – In a spreadsheet, the cell is the place where we enter the data. The selected or activated cell is called an
active cell.
9. Define Relative referencing, Mixed referencing and Absolute referencing.
Answer –
a) Relative referencing: When we drag the formula downwards in columns, the row number of the cell address gets
one added. In the same way, when you drag the formula horizontally from the left to the right column, the column
name of the cell address is added on to the next column letter.
b) Mixed referencing: As we have seen, when we drag the formula, row number or column name get changed in
relative reference. To overcome this problem , In Mixed Referencing, the $ sign is used before row number or column
name to make it constant. For example H2+C$14 (To make row 14 constant) or H2+$C14 (To make column C constant)
c) Absolute referencing: In Absolute referencing, a $ symbol is used before the column name as well as row number
to make it constant in any formula. For example, $C$12, $D$5, etc. In this case, even if you drag your formula in any
direction, the cell name remains constant.
