Point and Click Method | Excel | Creating Formulas
Pointing and clicking is usually the best method for adding cell references to a formula or function because it reduces the chance of errors from misreading or typing the wrong cell reference.
This method can also save a lot of time and effort when creating formulas, since most people see the data they want to add to the formula instead of the cell reference.
Type an equal sign ( = ) in a cell to start the formula.
