Topic: About Excel
Introduction. Excel 2002 or later is a spreadsheet program developed and
distributed by Microsoft(R) Corporation. Spreadsheet programs, like Excel,
are popular because they allow you to easily edit data, establish
relationships between data, and perform calculations. Using Excel, you can
manipulate data to compare financial outcomes or establish projected costs.
Excel is often used by businesses to figure profits and expenses, and by
individuals to create budgets and project various loan payment scenarios.
Excel can also be used to track and analyze large lists of related data,
such as customer information or product orders.
Excel Terms. In order to use Excel effectively, you should be familiar with
the following terms:
Workbook. A workbook is the file that stores your worksheet data. A single
workbook can contain up to 256 worksheets. By default, a new workbook
contains only 3 worksheets.
Worksheet. A worksheet is the document where you enter your data. A
worksheet is laid out as a grid, consisting of a series of columns and rows.
Gridlines mark the boundaries of the rows and columns. A single worksheet
has 256 columns and 65,536 rows.
Cell. A cell is a rectangular area formed by the intersection of row and
column gridlines. You enter a single piece of data into each cell. The data
is usually text, a numeric value, or a formula.
Cell Reference. A cell reference is the column and row coordinates for a
cell. By default, a cell reference uses a letter to indicate the column and
a number to indicate the row. For example, the cell reference A3 indicates
the cell at column A, row 3; the cell reference CA102 indicates the cell at
column CA, row 102.
Note: In some instances, a cell reference may be expressed with a number
used for both the column and the number. This reference style is known as
the R1C1 reference style. Using cell A1 as a starting point, the number
following "R" indicates the number of rows from row one. The number
following "C" indicates the number of columns from column A. This style is
most commonly used in Excel macros. You will not use the R1C1 reference
style in this tutorial.

R1C1 reference style. In this tutorial you will only use the A1 (column
letter, row number) reference style.
