Introduction
The definition of a worksheet is a single document inside a workbook. However, we often use the terms worksheet, spreadsheet and workbook interchangeably.
Worksheets contain numerical information presented in tabular row and column format with text that labels the data. They can also contain graphics and charts.
Excel 2007 takes advantage of a new results-oriented user interface (UI) to make powerful productivity tools easilyaccessible. If you're worried about capacity, Excel 2007 nowaccommodates 1 million rows and 16,000 columns.

Ribbon Overview: (A hands-on introduction)
Microsoft Office has a new look!
Notably, the old look of menus and buttons at the top of the window has been replaced with the Ribbon.
This course shows you how to use the Ribbon and highlights other skills that will help you make better worksheets, faster.

Office of Enterprise Development and Support Applications Support Group 2011
What’s on the Ribbon?
7
The three parts of the Ribbon are :
1. Tabs
2. Groups
3. Commands
1. Tabs: Tabs represent core tasks you do in Excel. There are seven tabs across the top of the Excel window.
2. Groups: Groups are sets of related commands, displayed on tabs (e.g. Alignment Group).
3. Commands: A command is a button, a menu, or a box where you enter information.
Office of Enterprise Development and Support Applications Support Group 2011
Contextual Tabs
8
The commands on the Ribbon are the ones you use the most.
Instead of showing every command all the time, Excel 2007 shows some commands on Contextual Tabs, only when you may need them, in response to an action you take.
So don’t worry if you don’t see all the commands you’re familiar with. Take the first steps, and the commands you need will be at hand.
Contextual Tabs –more commands that appear only when you need them.
Office of Enterprise Development and Support Applications Support Group 2011
More options, if you need them
9
1. Sometimes an arrow, called the Dialog Box Launcher, appears in the lower-right corner of a group.
This means more options are available for the group.
Click the Dialog Box Launcher, and you’ll see a dialog box or task pane. The picture shows an example.
On the Home tab, click the arrow in the Font group.
2. The Format Cells dialog box opens, with superscript and other options related to fonts.
Office of Enterprise Development and Support Applications Support Group 2011
Quick Access Toolbar: Add commands on your own toolbar
10
If you use commands that aren’t as easily accessible as you’d like:
You can add them to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT).
To add commands to the Quick AccessToolbar (QAT).

Show/Hide Group

Everything described so far applies if your screen is set to high resolution and the Excel window is maximized.
If not, things look different.
When and how do things look different? At low resolution a few groups on the Ribbon will
display the group name only, not the commands in the group.
Group Name Only
Click the down arrow to reveal
commands in the Group
At high resolution the commands in the group are displayed.

GLOSSARY:• A cell in Excel is simply an individual container
for data (like a box) where you type data (text). • A cell must be ‘Active’ to type in it.• An array of cells is called a sheet or worksheet. • Technically, a worksheet is a single document
inside a workbook.
• Rows and Columnso The horizontal lines of cells are called rowso The vertical lines of cells are called columnso Each row is numbered down the left hand side o To identify the columns there are letters running
along the top. o In the Name Box, each cell is referenced by intersection of a row and a column. So cell C2 is the cell at the intersection of column C and row 2.
