Understanding Excel Cells, Rows and Columns: The Foundation of Everything
Every Excel spreadsheet is a grid made up of cells organized into rows and columns. This grid structure is so fundamental that understanding it is prerequisite to everything else you’ll do in Excel. You can’t enter data without knowing which cell you’re in. You can’t write formulas without understanding how cells are addressed. You can’t select ranges without grasping rows and columns.
Get this right at the start and every subsequent skill becomes intuitive. Misunderstand it and confusion compounds as you learn more.
