Which are legal entries in any cell of a spreadsheet?
Answers
A spreadsheet program is ELECTRONIC PAPER -- also called a WORKSHEET. With MS Excel, you can have multiple worksheets contained in a WorkBook (a single Excel file).
The workplace is divided into COLUMNS and ROWS.
COLUMNS traditionally are designated by one or two letters (starting with A). Columns are vertical. (up and down).
ROWS are generally identified by numbers (starting with 1). Rows go across.
The INTERSECTION of a row and column is called a CELL.
A CELL is typically referred to by its column and row designation (A1 or Z56 or AA345 or VK987) which is its unique ADDRESS within the total spreadsheet.
A cell may contain one of three types of entries:
1. Numbers or values (numeric data)
2. Labels (alphabetic or alphanumeric data)
3. Formulas (expressions of calculations or relationships among cells)
