In Microsoft Excel, rows and columns are the two most important features that allow users to store and manipulate their data. Rows run horizontally while columns run vertically, and each row is identified by a unique numeric value on the left-hand side, while columns are identified by an alphabet at the top of the worksheet. A cell is the intersection of a row and a column, and it is the smallest unit of data in Excel. The difference between a row and a column is that a row arranges data horizontally from left to right, while a column arranges data vertically from top to bottom. The following are some key points to know about rows and columns in Excel:

• Rows are represented by numerical values, while columns are represented by alphabets.
• A cell is the intersection of a row and a column.
• Rows and columns are different properties that together make up a table.
• Each adjacent row and column is termed a cell.
• There are a total of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns in a single worksheet.
• To select a row, you can click on the number heading from the left side of the worksheet, or you can select a cell from the row that you want to select and use the keyboard shortcut SHIFT + SPACEBAR. To select a column, you can click on the alphabet heading of the column from the top of the worksheet, or you can select a cell from the column that you want to select and use the keyboard shortcut CRTL + SPACEBAR.
