Default what is the difference between a cell and a row?

Anthony,

Hope this helps.

A cell is simply one rectangular block, as you see it, in a spreadsheet.
Any one cell can contain formulas or text, etc., and where you would
normally type the data and formulas. ie one cell at a time.
A cell will have an "address" or "reference" such as A1 or C3, etc.

A row, however, contains many cells. ie a row is comprised of all the cells
on the one same line.
A list of cells in a row could have a reference such a A5:Q5, where 5
determines, or shows, how far down the spreadsheet the line or row is. The
letter A would be the column starting point and the letter Q would be the
column end point.
