Chapter 3. Entering and Managing Data

Data is the technical term for the text and numbers you enter into an Excel worksheet. Each cell in an Excel worksheet can contain data made up of text, numbers, or any combination of both.

The capability to make changes to the values in your worksheet is what makes Excel such a valuable analysis tool. You can insert a cell, row, or column. You also can delete or change entries, find and replace data, and even check for spelling errors. Besides editing the data in your worksheets, you can add comments to remind yourself of information.
