MICROSOFT EXCEL

Microsoft Excel is a helpful and powerful program for data analysis and
documentation. It is a spreadsheet program, which contains a number of columns
and rows, where each intersection of a column and a row is a “cell.” Each cell
contains one point of data or one piece of information. By organizing the
information in this way, you can make information easier to find, and automatically
draw information from changing data.

If you're just starting out with Excel, there are a few basic commands that we
suggest you become familiar with. These are things like:
• Creating a new spreadsheet from scratch.
• Executing basic computations like adding, subtracting, multiplying, and
dividing.
• Writing and formatting column text and titles.
• Using Excel's auto-fill features.
• Adding or deleting single columns, rows, and spreadsheets. Below, we'll get
into how to add things like multiple columns and rows.
• Keeping column and row titles visible as you scroll past them in a
spreadsheet, so that you know what data you're filling as you move further
down the document.
