Understanding Spreadsheets
The spreadsheet is a tool for writing down and
computing numbers in an organized format. It includes a
built-in calculator that allows automatic mathematical
computation. MS Excel is an example of a spreadsheet
program. It uses numbers for tabular math.
A worksheet is part of a spreadsheet software. It has boxes
called cells. These cells are arranged in rows and columns.
Numbers label the rows, and letters label the columns. Equations,
dates, and time can be typed in cells. Excel can compute the
numbers typed into cells.

Every cell in a
worksheet has a cell
address. An example is Cell
D5. This address is the
intersection of column D
and row 5 of the table.
The MS Excel Window
MS Excel has a Ribbon like other office software. Many of its
functions are like those in other Microsoft® Office programs,
such as MS Word. 
In Excel 2016, worksheet tab buttons are found at the bottom of
the window.
The Workbook
Do you know that an Excel file is also called a workbook?
New worksheets can be added by clicking    the at the bottom part of
your screen.
Worksheets in a workbook are identified by sheet numbers (Sheet 1,
Sheet 2, Sheet 3, etc.). These labels are displayed on the tab buttons. A
worksheet can be given a new name by right clicking on a tab button, and
then clicking on Rename. The new name is then typed in.
Pressing Enter on the keyboard saves the name of the worksheet on the
tab button.
