    Basics Basics
    • Editing cells: • Copy and paste:
    – Numbers: type digits – Adjusts cell references in formulae
    – Text: type alphabets, or start with ‘ – Paste Special -- paste value not formula
    – Formulae: start with = • Delete:
    • Formatting cells: – Contents
    – Data type and format – Cell(s) -- shifts adjacent cells
    • number of decimal places • Protect -- contents cannot be changed
    • Date format
    • Workbook (file) consists of several sheets
    – Font, colour, justification
    – Formula can refer to cells in other sheets or
    other workbooks
