Microsoft Excel Tutorial

Excel allows you to create spreadsheets much like paper ledgers that can perform automatic calculations. Each Excel file is a workbook that can hold many worksheets. The worksheet is a grid of columns (designated by letters) and rows (designated by numbers). The letters and numbers of the columns and rows (called labels) are displayed in gray buttons across the top and left side of the worksheet. The intersection of a column and a row is called a cell. Each cell on the spreadsheet has a cell address that is the column letter and the row number. Cells can contain either text, numbers, or mathematical formulas.

This tutorial hosted by Bradley University teaches many features you will need to understand and know how to use if you are planning to use Excel in your work or at home. Included are some advanced functions, such as recording and running macros, graphics, charting, and mail merge.
