Edit the Formula Cell Range<br />

As you edit worksheet structure and contents, it may be necessary to adjust the cell range in<br />

a formula. You can edit the cell range using the Formula bar or by dragging the border that<br />

surrounds a range of cells. Remember that a cell displays the result of the formula and the<br />

Formula bar displays the formula.<br />

You can also edit a cell reference or the cell range in a formula by dragging the border to<br />

reduce or expand the range. When dragging to include more or fewer cells, you will see a twopointed<br />

arrow (resize pointer) when you point to a selection handle on the border.<br />

HOW TO: Edit a Cell Reference Range Using the Formula Bar<br />

1. Select the cell containing the formula.<br />

2. Click the cell range displayed in the Formula bar. The range is highlighted, and a border displays around the cell<br />

range (Figure 1-24).<br />
