Basic layout A spreadsheet consists of cells arranged in rows and columns. Each cell can hold text, a number, or a mathematical formula. A cell is referred to by column and row, e.g., the upper left cell is cell A1. The cell right below that is A2, etc. Column width and row height can be adjusted by dragging the separation line between columns (or rows) to the desired size. See between column B and C below.

Information can be put in a cell by clicking on the cell and entering the value in the formula bar or by double clicking on a cell and entering the information directly into the cell.

If a formula is copied using AutoFill the formula will automatically adjust.

Cell references are often used in formulas The value in A3 will be calculated by adding 1 to the value in A2 The result will be stored as a number in A3

A combination of multiple cell references and mathematical operations can be used

Once you have inserted the function the calculated value will appear in the actual cell. The formula will show in the formula bar.

All spreadsheet programs contain many frequently used and complex functions A menu of these functions can be found under the Insert menu
