The Basics of Microsoft Excel:

1) Introduction:
1.1) Spreadsheet Basics
Each Excel file is a workbook that can hold many
worksheets. Each worksheet (i.e. spreadsheet) is
made up of rows (horizontal; designated by
numbers), columns (vertical; designated by
letters), and their intersections, which are called
cells. The letters and numbers of the columns and
rows (called labels) are displayed in gray buttons
across the top and left side of the worksheet. Each
cell on the spreadsheet has a cell address that is
the column letter followed by the row number.
Example:
The very first cell address in the worksheet is A1
(column A, row 1). There are three basic types of
data that can be entered into a cell: 1. text (text
with no numerical values, such as Days), 2.
numbers (just a number/a constant value, such as
5), 3. and formulas (a mathematical equation
used to calculate a result, such as =5+3).
NOTE: All formulas MUST begin with an equal sign
(=) in order to be calculated.
