Introduction to Excel 2003
Some of the basic elements of a Microsoft Office Excel workbook include:
- Worksheet — an electronic ledger where you enter data. You can then manipulate the data using functions, formulas, and formatting.
- Row — a horizontal group of cells. Rows are identified by numbers. For example the third row is labeled with the number 3.
- Column — a vertical group of cells. Columns are identified by letters. For example the fourth column is labeled with the letter D.
- Cell — the intersection of a row and a column. A cell's address is indicated by its column letter followed by its row number. For example, the intersection of the fourth column and the third row would be cell D3.
