Microsoft Excel (full name Microsoft Office Excel) is a spreadsheet application written and distributed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables and a macro programming language called VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). It has been a very widely applied spreadsheet for these platforms, especially since version 5 in 1993. Excel forms part of Microsoft Office. The current versions are Microsoft Office Excel 2010 for Windows and 2008 for Mac.
An Excel worksheet is a digital grid where you can store and manipulate data. It is a fundamental building block of Microsoft Excel, which is a widely used spreadsheet program. A worksheet consists of rows, identified by numbers, and columns, identified by letters. The intersection of a row and a column is called a cell, which is the smallest unit of data in Excel.
To access and create an Excel worksheet, you can follow these steps:
1. Launch Microsoft Excel on your computer.
2. When Excel opens, you will see a blank workbook, which contains one worksheet by default. A workbook can have multiple worksheets, usually denoted by tabs at the bottom of the Excel window.
3. To add a new worksheet, click on the plus (+) symbol on the right side of the worksheet tabs. You can also use the shortcut "Ctrl + Shift + N" to quickly insert a new worksheet.
4. Each worksheet has a name, which is displayed on the worksheet tab. By default, the first worksheet is named "Sheet1", the second is named "Sheet2", and so on. To rename a worksheet, right-click on the tab and select "Rename" or double-click on the tab name.
5. You can start inputting data into the cells by clicking on a specific cell and typing in the desired information. You can also format cells, apply formulas, and perform various data operations using the functions provided by Excel.
By using Excel worksheets, you can organize, analyze, and manipulate data, create charts and graphs, perform calculations, and automate tasks, making it a powerful tool for data management and analysis.
