Answer 1

The columns are the things that are lettered A, B, C, D, E, etc.

The rows are the things numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

A cell is the intersection of a row and column: A1, C2, E19, etc.

Answer 2

Could you give us a little more detail? It might be easier to answer your question, if we know more about it...

Generally columns are the vertical rows on a spreadsheet labeled A, B, C, D, etc. The letters are at the top of the spreadsheet in gray, and if the spreadsheet is not blank and the author has had the forethought, underneath those letters in the first row would be column headings or names.

For instance, if you were viewing a table with Employee information, an example of column headings would be:
| A | B | C | (<-in gray)
1|Employee ID # | Last Name | First Name | (etc.)
2|123456789 | Smith | John | (etc.)

The lines are not straight, but I hope you catch my drift. :D

In other words, a vertical selection of data.
