This question is incomplete and lacks context. To properly answer how to name cell B9 "Cola," I need more information. The answer depends entirely on the software application you're using.

Here are the answers for the most common applications:

• Microsoft Excel: In Excel, you would not name cell B9 "Cola". Instead, you would name a range of cells or a constant. You can't name a single cell directly. If you want to refer to cell B9 as "Cola" within formulas, you would define a named range. Here's how:

  1. Select cell B9.
  2. Go to the "Formulas" tab.
  3. Click "Define Name".
  4. In the "Name" box, type "Cola".
  5. In the "Refers to" box, it should automatically show =$B$9. Leave this as is.
  6. Click "OK".

  Now, you can use Cola in your formulas instead of $B$9.

• Google Sheets: The process in Google Sheets is very similar to Excel.

  1. Select cell B9.
  2. Go to "Data" > "Named ranges".
  3. Enter "Cola" as the name and confirm.

• Other Spreadsheet Software: Most spreadsheet programs offer a similar naming convention for ranges of cells. Consult your software's help documentation for specific instructions.

• Programming Languages (e.g., Python with openpyxl or similar libraries): If you're working with a spreadsheet programmatically, you would access cell B9 through its coordinates or index. You would not "name" it within the spreadsheet file itself. However, you could create a variable in your code that represents this cell. For example, using Python:

  import openpyxl
  
  workbook = openpyxl.load_workbook("your_spreadsheet.xlsx")
  sheet = workbook.active  # Or specify the sheet name
  cola_value = sheet["B9"].value
  print(cola_value)
  

In summary, provide more details about the software you are using to get a more precise and helpful answer.
