CREATING SPREADSHEET IN EXCEL MADE SIMPLE - Example_1
INTRODUCTION
A spreadsheet is a grid-based file designed to manage or perform any type of calculation on personal or business data. It is accessible in both Office 365 and MS Office. Office 365 is a cloud-based application, whereas MS Office is an on-premises solution. It is the best choice for users because it has 400+ functions and features such as pivot, colouring, graph, chart, and conditional formatting.
The workbook is the Excel lingo for ‘spreadsheet’. MS Excel uses this term to emphasise that a single workbook can contain multiple worksheets where each one can have its own data grid, chart, or graph.
How to Create Spreadsheet in Excel?
Step 1: Open MS Excel.
Step 2: Go to Menu and select New >> click on the Blank workbook to create a simple worksheet.
OR – Just press Ctrl + N: To create a new spreadsheet.
Key Features of the Created Spreadsheet:
- Basic App Functions Area: There is a green banner that contains all types of actions to perform on the worksheet, like – save the file, back or front step move, new, undo, redo, and many more.
- Ribbon Area: This is a gray area just below the basic app functions area and is called Ribbon. It contains data manipulation, a data visualizing toolbar, page layout tools, and many more.
- Spreadsheet Work Area: By default, a grid contains alphabetic columns like A, B, C, …, Z, ZA…, ZZ, ZZA… and rows as numbers like 1,2 3, …. 100, 101, and… so on. Each rectangle box in the spreadsheet is called a cell, like the one selected in the above image (cell A1). It is a cell where the user can perform their calculation for personal or business data.
- Formula Bar: It shows the data in the selected cell; if it contains any formula, it will show here. Like the above area, a search bar is available in the top right corner, and a sheet tab is available on the downside of the worksheet. A user can change the name of the sheet name.
Once you create an Excel Spreadsheet, you can convert it to a universally accepted format like PDF. For convenience, some useful Excel to PDF converters convert Excel to PDF files for free while maintaining the original formatting.
