Learn English – Question about expression “Referring to”

expressionsword-usage

I have a question about the usage of "referring to". Let's assume that you are in a meeting and you are giving a presentation. You have to explain about a couple of things that are in the table chart one by one.
In this situation, I 'd like to use "referring to " to let my audience know about which one I'm talking about. For example, I want to start by saying "referring to number 7 item which talks about~~ , we finished our work for that by ~~~.
Is this correct or wrong?
Any other suggestion?

Best Answer

"Referring to" works fine, but you may want to use some variants if you want to talk about many elements in the chart. "In reference to item 7...", "As far as #7 goes...", "With regard to #7...", etc.
