vert line

Cells contain and display one of four things:

  • Text strings, such as Profits
  • Values, such as 12
  • Dates, such as 21-02-1996
  • Formulas, such as =A4+A5

To enter data into an editable cell:

  1. Move to the cell
  2. In the Formula Bar, enter a number, date or text string.
  3. Move away from the cell to enter the value
  • Values and dates can be formatted in any number of differing formats. For example, the number 12 can be displayed as "$12.00," "£12," "12" or "1.2e+01."
  • Once data is in a cell, it and its format can be copied and pasted into other cells.
