2.The active cell is the selected cell in which data is entered when you begin
typing. Only one cell is active at a time. The active cell is the cell surrounded by a
black border. Data can only be entered into the active cell. Even if more than one
cell is selected, there is still only one active cell at a time.
A cell is the intersection of a row and a column. A row and a column adjoined
make up a cell.
You can define a cell by the combination of a row number and a column
header.For example, below the selected cell is C3. It has a column header C and a
row number 3.
4.FORMULA
A spreadsheet formula is a mathematical equation that will calculate a result.
Formulas are typed into the formula bar.
A formula always begins with an equal sign (=). For example the formula =1+1 will
result in 2 being displayed.
In spreadsheet formulas, normally we use the cell reference of the data rather
than the data itself.
For example: =A1*B1
=(A1+A2)/B1

6.Rows are labeled with numbers, in the gray area to the left of each row. Click
the row heading to select an entire row. To increase or decrease the height of a
row, drag the line below the row heading.
7.The VALUE Function[1] is categorized under Excel Text functions. It will convert
a text string that represents a number into a number. Thus, the function will
convert text that appears in a recognized format (a number, date, or time format)
into a numeric value.
In financial analysis, the VALUE function is not used much, as Excel automatically
converts text to numeric values. However, it is important for anyone who wants
to master the full extent of Excel functions.
Formula
=VALUE(Text)
Text (required argument) – This is the text enclosed in quotation marks or a
reference to a cell containing the text you want to convert.
8.Columns are labeled with letters. The column headings are lettered in the gray
area at the top of each column. Click the column heading to select an entire
column. To increase or decrease the width of a column, drag the line to the right
of the column heading.
