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.
