What is Excel
What is Excel?
Excel is a spreadsheet program with a full spectrum of capabilities.
Let’s take a look.
Every Excel workbook is a collection of worksheets.
All the work you do in Excel will be done in a worksheet.
When you save a workbook, all the worksheets it contains are saved to a single file.
The primary file jot down of Excel is the workbook.
In Excel 2007 and later, workbooks are saved with the extension xlsx.
In Excel versions prior to 2007, workbooks are saved with the extension xls.
Worksheets are composed of numbered rows down the left, and labeled columns across the top.
The intersection of rows and columns creates the familiar grid in a spreadsheet.
The grid is composed of individual cells, and each cell in a worksheet has a unique address.
Worksheets are extremely large.
Each worksheet contains over 1 million rows and more than 65,000 columns.
Rows are labeled with numbers, but columns are labeled with letters in the alphabet.
In most cases, you will use just a small fraction of this area for your projects.
Your skill with Excel is a tool that will serve you well.
