Workbooks and Worksheets
- Each Excel file is a Workbook containing one or more Worksheets
- Default setting provides you with three worksheets – you can add or remove as needed from there
- Worksheets can also be reordered within the file and renamed – you can also copy or move a worksheet to another workbook (file)
- Several sheets can be used for one project, containing it all in one file, or you can still use one file for each part of a project, depending on your needs.
Basic Editing
- Click a cell to type into it. After typing, press Enter to move down one cell or
press right arrow key to move to the right one cell. - To delete the contents of a cell, select the cell, then press Delete on the
keyboard - To replace something in a cell (or cells), select the cell (or cells), then begin
typing the replacement. Or, you can press Delete on the keyboard before typing
the replacement. - Undo/Repeat the replacement (this works even after the workbook has been
saved)
- Select a cell and choose Cut (to move data) from the Ribbon or choose Copy (to make a
