Excel Spreadsheet
• What is a spreadsheet Worksheet ?
• Spreadsheet is known as a sheet of paper that has a set of rows and
columns which make a tabular structure

 A grid is made up of
multiple cells where each
cell is an intersection of
rows and columns.
 Rows are horizontal and
columns are vertical

Types of Data
Mostly we work in three types of data in an Excel worksheet:
Text
• Text is combination of characters, numbers, spaces and special characters (* #,& etc.).
• Text cannot be used for calculations
• Data items like name, Address etc. come under this category
• Text is automatically left aligned in the cell

Number
• Number includes 0-9 digits, +, -, $
• Numbers can be used for calculation
• Data like marks, prices, salary etc. are example of Numeric Data
• Numbers are automatically right aligned in the cell

Date and Time


• Data represented as Date and Time can also be represented in Excel. As Excel treats Date and Time as numbers,
mathematical operations like addition, subtraction can be performed on them. For example date can be entered as
15/1/2004 or as 15- Jan-2004. Time can be entered as 1:30 PM or 1:30:15 PM

Entering Excel Formulas
• A very important use of Excel is to do calculations
• A formula is an expression that operates on data values in a range of cells or
a cell
• For example if A1=121 , A2=222 , A3=331 , then =A1+A2+A3 will calculate the
sum of values in the range A1 to A3 or in simple words sum of values in cells A1 ,
A2, A3
• The result of =A1+A2+A3 is 674

“+” Cell address


operator =A1+A2+A3
