For this tutorial, we will be using Microsoft Excel 2013. The good news is even
if you have Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010, you will still be able to follow the
tutorial and get the same result.

Open Excel. You will get a window similar to the one shown below. The
outlook of Excel will depend on your version.

 Enter the data in your worksheet as shown in the image above.


 We will now perform the calculations using the respective arithmetic
operators. When performing calculations in Excel, you should always
start with the equal (=) sign.
 Let's start with the one for addition. Write the following formula in E2
Excel (Result column)
 =C2+D2

HERE,

 "=" tells Excel to evaluate whatever follows after the equal sign
 "C2" is the cell address of the first number given by C representing the
column letter and 2 representing the row number
 "D2" is the cell address of the second number given by D representing
the column letter and 2 representing the row number

Press enter key on the keyboard when done. You should get 16 as the result.
