How to use Excel – What is an Excel Cell

How to use Excel

Our computer lessons on how to use Excel continue with an online video tutorial, What is an Excel Cell on a worksheet. Following on from the start of our Excel computer course, this lesson recaps on topics learnt, on the Excel layout, looking at columns and rows before moving on to identifying Cell Addresses or Cell References. The computer lesson for Excel beginners then talks about the three types of data that can be added to cells, labels, values and formulas. The lesson builds up a very simple worksheet to demonstrate the three types of data being added and also introduces Excel beginners to the Name Box and the Formula Bar, two areas essential to understand for anyone who wants to know how to use excel.

The computer lesson on Excel is suitable for anyone worldwide wishing to improve their computer skills and particularly those learning Excel for work and looking at spreadsheets.

Those looking to gain a qualification in the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) should find this lesson useful when trying to understand spreadsheets.
