New to Excel?

Here's Super Easy


Tricks to Get You Started
Things You Should Know
 Use Quick Analysis in Excel to perform quick calculations and create helpful
graphs without any prior Excel knowledge.
 Adding your data to a table makes it easy to sort and filter data by your
preferred criteria.
 Even if you're not a math person, you can use basic Excel math functions to
add, subtract, find averages and more in seconds.

Create or open a workbook.When people refer to "Excel files," they are


referring to workbooks, which are files that contain one or more sheets of
data on individual tabs. Each tab is called a worksheet or spreadsheet, both
of which are used interchangeably. When you open Excel, you'll be prompted
to open or create a workbook.[1]
 To start from scratch, click Blank workbook. Otherwise, you can open
an existing workbook or create a new one from one of Excel's helpful
templates, such as those designed for budgeting.
Explore the worksheet.When you create a new blank workbook, you'll
have a single worksheet called Sheet1 (you'll see that on the tab at the
bottom) that contains a grid for your data. Worksheets are made of
individual cells that are organized into columns and rows.
 Columns are vertical and labeled with letters, which appear above
each column.
 Rows are horizontal and are labeled by numbers, which you'll see
running along the left side of the worksheet.
 Every cell has an address which contains its column letter and row
number. For example, the top-left cell in your worksheet's address
is A1 because it's in column A, row 1.
 A workbook can have multiple worksheets, all containing different sets
of data. Each worksheet in your workbook has a name—you can
rename a worksheet by right-clicking its tab and selecting Rename.
 To add another worksheet, just click the + next to the worksheet tab(s)
Save your workbook.Once you save your workbook once, Excel will
automatically save any changes you make by default.[2] This prevents you
from accidentally losing data.
 Click the File menu and select Save As.
 Choose a location to save the file, such as on your computer or in
OneDrive.
 Type a name for your workbook. All workbooks will automatically inherit
the .XLSX file extension.
 Click Save.
