In future lessons, we’ll look at a number of shortcuts for entering data faster.
To enter data in Excel, just select a cell and begin typing.
You’ll see the text appear both in the cell and in the formula bar above.
To tell Excel to accept the data you’ve typed, press enter.
The information will be entered immediately, and the cursor will move down one cell.
you could also press the tab key instead of the enter key.
At any time while you are typing you’re free to press the escape key to cancel.
This brings Excel back to the state it was in before you started typing.
