How does Excel work?

Let’s discuss some of the basic ideas in Excel:


1.Excel Cell
2.Excel Range
3.Excel Worksheet
4.Excel Workbook

1. Excel Cell
The Excel Cell is the smallest unit in Excel. The cell is used to store data.

Excel is comprised of rows and columns. The rows are represented as numbers, and the columns – as letters.

2.Excel Range
The Excel Range is comprised of two or more adjacent cells. These cells can be in the same row, the same
column, or even in multiple rows and columns!

For example, Range A3:E7 consists of the following cells:
3. Excel Worksheet
The Excel Worksheet is comprised of rows and columns.
The default Excel Worksheet contains 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns.

4. Excel Workbook
The Excel file is also called Excel Workbook. It contains one or more worksheets.
The default Excel file type has an XLSX suffix.
Excel allows the user to use data from one worksheet in another worksheet in the same workbook. It also allows
connecting between different workbooks.
Basic Calculations with Excel

The basic operators which can be used are:
+ Add
– Subtract
/ Divide
* (Asterisk) Multiply
