Excel 2007 Overview

What is Excel?
Excel 2007 is a spreadsheet application that can be used to create a range of documents from simple
budgets to complex forecasts. Excel can also be used to generate charts and maps, or to analyse
large amounts of data.

In Excel, each file that you create is known as a workbook.

 When a new workbook is created, it contains three worksheets that are identified by the
worksheet tabs at the bottom of the screen.
 An Excel workbook can contain many worksheets - depending on the amount of memory your
computer has - so it is possible to add or remove sheets as required.
 Worksheets are used to organise different sets of related data in one single workbook file. A
spreadsheet is another name for a worksheet.

Each worksheet consists of columns, rows and cells.

 Columns are indicated by a letter at the top of the column. There are 16,384 columns that are
lettered from A to Z, then from AA to ZZ, then from AAA to AAZ continuing in this fashion to
column XFD.
 Rows are indicated by a number at the left of the row. There are 1,048,576 rows in each
spreadsheet.

The intersection between a column and a row is known as a cell. The intersection between column A
and row 1 is cell A1. Data is entered into the cells of a worksheet and each cell should contain a
single number or piece of text, e.g. a heading or description.

In the following worksheet, cell B3 is selected, in column B and row 3.

Starting Excel
Once you have logged onto Windows, you are ready to launch Excel 2007 and start
creating and editing workbooks.

If you have an Excel 2007 icon on your desktop, double-click on this to launch Excel.

If you don't have an icon on your desktop, you can launch Excel 2007 via the Start
menu.

 Click on the Start button

 Click on All Programs - new menu will be displayed
 Choose Microsoft Office from the Programs menu

Screen Layout
The Title Bar
The title bar is positioned at the top of the screen and displays the name of the application as well as
the name of the workbook you are currently viewing.
If the current workbook has not been saved, the word Book will appear followed by a sequential
number matching the number of documents created in the current session.

The standard Windows controls appear at the end of the Title Bar:

The Office Button

The Office button of Excel 2007 is the main access point for commands for working with workbooks.
From this menu you can open a workbook, create a new workbook, save files in various formats and

You can also prepare your workbook for publishing by changing properties, adding digital signatures
and marking the version as final. Once fully prepared, you can publish your workbook e.g. to a
Sharepoint space or document management system.

The Office button is also used to close workbooks, set options and exit Excel 2007.

A list of the most recent workbooks you have worked in will show on the right-hand side of the Office button
menu. Click on a workbook in this list to re-open a file.
