III. Discussion
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program for Windows and Macintosh computers. It is part of the
Microsoft Office suite, which includes other productivity programs, such as Word and PowerPoint.
Though Excel is developed by Microsoft, the first version of the program was released for the
Macintosh in 1985. It wasn't until 1987, when Microsoft introduced Windows 3.0, that Excel was
made available for Windows. Since then, Microsoft has supported the program on both platforms,
releasing updates about every two years.
In the upper-left corner of the Excel 2007 window is the Microsoft Office button. When you click the
button, a menu appears. You can use the menu to create a new file, open an existing file, save a
file, and perform many other tasks.
The Quick Access Toolbar
Next to the Microsoft Office button is the Quick Access toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar gives you
with access to commands you frequently use. By default, Save, Undo, and Redo appear on the
Quick Access toolbar. You can use Save to save your file, Undo to roll back an action you have
taken, and Redo to reapply an action you have rolled back.
The Title Bar
Next to the Quick Access toolbar is the Title bar. On the Title bar, Microsoft Excel displays the
name of the workbook you are currently using. At the top of the Excel window, you should see
"Microsoft Excel - Book1" or a similar name.
The Ribbon
You use commands to tell Microsoft Excel what to do. In Microsoft Excel 2007, you use the Ribbon
to issue commands. The Ribbon is located near the top of the Excel window, below the Quick
Access toolbar. At the top of the Ribbon are several tabs; clicking a tab displays several related
command groups. Within each group are related command buttons. You click buttons to issue
commands or to access menus and dialog boxes. You may also find a dialog box launcher in the
bottom-right corner of a group. When you click the dialog box launcher, a dialog box makes
additional commands available.
Worksheets
Microsoft Excel consists of worksheets. Each worksheet contains columns and rows. The columns
are lettered A to Z and then continuing with AA, AB, AC and so on; the rows are numbered 1 to
1,048,576. The number of columns and rows you can have in a worksheet is limited by your
computer memory and your system resources.
The combination of a column coordinate and a row coordinate make up a cell address. For
example, the cell located in the upper-left corner of the worksheet is cell A1, meaning column A,
row 1. Cell E10 is located under column E on row 10. You enter your data into the cells on the
worksheet.
The Formula Bar
Formula Bar
If the Formula bar is turned on, the cell address of the cell you are in displays in the Name box
which is located on the left side of the Formula bar. Cell entries display on the right side of the
Formula bar. If you do not see the Formula bar in your window, perform the following steps:
