Overview

Within Excel, there are a number of standard parts to understand as it

relates to workbook. First, is that the first main item you encounter is
called a workbook, which therefore contains items called worksheets.
Worksheets are essentially similar to giant tables that you were already
exposed to in your earlier work in Microsoft Word.

Columns and Rows

They are made up of columns and rows. As defined by the textbook, a
column is essentially a vertical group of cells in a worksheet. Within
Excel, you will see these labeled as A, B, C, etc. Additionally, the
worksheets contain rows. These are loosely defined as the horizontal
group of cells in the worksheet. These will be labeled as 1, 2, 3, etc.
Wherever a column and row address intersect can be defined as a cell. For
example, an instruction in an assignment might indicate for you to click on
cell D4. You will then look to find column D, and look down to the 4th
row. That is where you will click to activate the cell.
