Getting started with Excel
An Excel file is called a workbook. A workbook holds sheets, and each sheet is made of cells.
Workbook and sheet
A new file has one sheet (Sheet1). Use the tabs at the bottom to switch between sheets or add a new one.
A cell and its address
Columns are labeled with letters (A, B, C…), rows with numbers (1, 2, 3…). Where they meet is a cell. B2 is column B, row 2.
Entering data
Select a cell and type. Enter moves down, Tab moves right. Esc cancels the entry and F2 puts the cell into edit mode.
Tips
- Text aligns left and numbers align right automatically — a quick way to see whether Excel recognized a number.
- To replace a value completely, just type over it.
Try it in the simulator
Type your name in A3, press Tab and enter your age in B3, then your city in C3.
