Understand the workbook
An Excel workbook contains worksheets. Each worksheet is made of rows, columns and cells. A cell address such as A1 identifies where a row and column meet.
Enter and organise information
Use clear column headings, keep one type of information in each column and avoid leaving confusing gaps inside a data table. Consistent formatting makes a worksheet easier to read.
Start with simple formulas
A formula begins with an equals sign. Basic examples include adding values, calculating an average or counting filled cells. Check cell references carefully when copying formulas.
Sort and filter data
Sorting changes the order of records. Filtering temporarily shows records that match selected conditions. Use headers and keep related row information together.
Practise with a small project
Create a weekly study tracker, book list or simple monthly expense sheet. Add headings, a total formula and a filter. Review the results for mistakes.
