What does the ! mean before a cell when transferring the cell contents to a
different page?
In Windows, you might write a full path name as C:\My Documents\MyFile
In Excel once you create a formula that crosses sheets, it looks like
=Sheet2!A1 (ie. Cell A1 which is on Sheet 2 in my Workbook.)
That's how Excel reads more complex addresses.
Incidentally, say you were working in Sheet 1, you could write a formula
=D3
or
=Sheet1!D3
It's the same cell!
Hope this brief explanation helps

If it's in a string, it means it's a point of emphasis:
=if(a1=1,"Get too work!","Please, continue to work.")
if you see it a reference, it's excel's delimiter to separate the sheetname from
the address:
=sheet1!a1
or
='this is sheet 1"!a1
The formulas return the value from that sheet in cell A1.
