Spreadsheet row and column

Rows normally have numbers and columns letters; their intersection identifies a cell. Consistent headings and one observation per row can make tables easier to check and analyse. Column widths alter how much content is visible and do not normally change the underlying value.

Worked example

In a sales table, row 2 contains one invoice and column C contains its amount; C2 identifies the amount for that invoice.

Common mistake

Treating a truncated display caused by a narrow column as a changed or missing underlying value.
