Selecting a Range Of Cells In Workbook
You need to select a cell (activate the cell) before you place information in it. Besides that, if you want to execute a command onto several cells, you may need to select all the cells before you run the command.
A group of selected cells is called a range. A range can contain a block of cells, a complete column, a complete row or a non-adjacent range.
