In Excel, CELL can be used to return information about a particular cell in a worksheet. This can include the cell's address, its contents, its formatting, and more. CELL can be used in a number of different ways, including in formulas and as part of VBA code.
In Excel, the CELL function takes two arguments: the address of the cell you want information about, and the type of information you want. The syntax for CELL is CELL(address, type), where address is the cell reference and type is one of the following:
- "A" for the address of the cell's contents as text
- "B" for the address of the cell's contents as a number
- "C" for the address of the cell's contents as a date
- "D" for the address of the cell's contents as a time
- "E" for the address of the cell's contents as a Boolean
- "F" for the address of the cell's contents as a hyperlink
CELL is a function in Excel that can be used to return information about a specific cell in a worksheet. The CELL function can be used to return the address of a cell, the contents of a cell, the formatting of a cell, or the number format of a cell. The CELL function can also be used to return the type of data that is stored in a cell.
There are a few instances when you should not use CELL in Excel. One is when you are trying to reference a range of cells that is greater than one row and one column. In this case, you would use the RANGE function. Another instance is when you are trying to reference a cell that is outside of the current worksheet. In this case, you would use the WORKSHEET function.
