Excel Files

E

xcel is like a giant accountant ledger sheet composed of a grid made up 
of columns and rows. At each row and column intersection is a cell. A 

single worksheet contains 16,374 columns across the top (stretching from 
column A to column XFD) and 1,048,576 rows down the side. That’s over 
17 billion cells in a single worksheet. A cell address is the description of the 
intersection of a column and a row, such as D23 (in this example, D is the 
column name and 23 is the row).

The Excel interface provides you with the right tools at the right time. In 
most Windows programs, you see menus and toolbars to select your options 
from. Instead of the traditional look, Excel provides icon- and button-laden 
tabs on the Ribbon containing most Excel features.

Throughout the course of this book, you discover methods to use Excel as a 
spreadsheet, of course; but you also discover how to use it as a database, a 
calculator, a planner, and even a graphic illustrator. I start with the basics 
and work into the more advanced Excel actions.
