Cell is a spreadsheet term, referring to a single box in a spreadsheet grid. Cells are arranged in rows and columns. For example, cell B3 would refer to the cell where column B meets row 3. A cell contains either a number, text or a formula (or it can be empty). Cells also appear in tables, e.g. in word processors and web pages.
