Excel Essentials for Entering Data, Accepting Data, Deleting Data, and More: Covering Excel 2019 and Microsoft 365
with David Slager, Annette Slager
Closed Captioning available in English
Overview
The introductory Excel tutorial covers topics related to entering data and demonstrates various ways of accepting and deleting data. You’ll learn how to justify data within a cell and then have an opportunity to put it to practice. You will experiment with SmartLookup to search for anything on the Internet, whether it be Excel related or not, and then learn to place that information into an Excel pane.
You will try out the Ribbon, a feature which drives the user-friendly resources in Excel. You’ll learn the parts of the ribbon: tabs, groups, and command buttons and see how to hide and unhide the ribbon. Practice using short keys to run the commands and learn how to customize the ribbon to meet your needs. Add and remove commands, tabs and groups, change their order, add commands not normally used, then reset your ribbon back to the way it was before you made your changes.
