Excelsheet for Beginners Day 1 (One)

MS Excel has been referred to as the world’s most popular database program because you can store vast amounts of data within a single workbook or worksheet. This MSEXCEL is meant much more than just crunching numbers.

This was not, however, the purpose for which Excel sheet was created. By using the many functions built in to Excel, you can build formulas that perform complex data calculations.

For millions of users the world over, Excel is also their number-one interface to the corporate database,as well as their premier charting program. Given Excel’s versatility, it should come as no surprise that mastering the basics of the program, is no small task.

Opening a New Workbook
Each time you launch MS Excel (using any method other than double-clicking an Excel workbook file icon), a new workbook containing three blank worksheets opens. You can build your new spreadsheet in this workbook, using any of its sheet pages.

The blank workbook that opens with Excel is given a temporary filename such as Book1, Book2, and so on, that appears after the application’s name on the program window’s title bar.

When Excel opens a blank workbook, the new workbook follows the Blank Workbook template (which controls the formatting applied to all its blank cells). You can also open new workbooks from other, specialized templates or from a workbook that you’ve already created.
