OVERVIEW

The Ribbon is marked with a red rectangle and


the Sheet is marked with a yellow rectangle.
RIBBON
 The Ribbon provides shortcuts to Excel commands. A command is
an action that allows you to make something happen. This can for
example be to: insert a table, change the font size, or to change
the color of a cell.
 The Ribbon may look crowded and hard to understand at first.
Don't be scared, It will become easier to navigate and use as you
learn more. Most of the time we tend to use the same
functionalities over again.
 The Ribbon is made up by the App
launcher, Tabs, Groups and Commands. In this section we will
explain the different parts of the Ribbon.
App launcher
The App launcher icon has nine dots and is called the Office 365 navigation bar. It allows you
to access the different parts of the Office 365 suite, such as Word, PowerPoint and Outlook.
App launcher can be used to switch seamlessly between the Office 365 applications.
Tabs
The tab is a menu with sub divisions sorted into groups. The tabs allow users to quickly
navigate between options of menus which display different groups of functionality.
Groups
The groups are sets of related commands. The groups are separated by the thin vertical line
break.
Commands
The commands are the buttons that you use to do actions.
SHEET

 The Sheet is a set of rows and columns. It forms the same pattern
as we have in math exercise books, the rectangle boxes formed by
the pattern are called cells.
 Values can be typed to cells.
 Values can be both numbers and letters:
REFERENCE

 Hello world was typed in cell C4. The reference can be found by
clicking on the relevant cell and seeing the reference in the Name Box
to the left, which tells you that the cell's reference is C4.

sheets can be added and removed. Sheets can
