Entering the Data

Because Excel is all about working with data, whether the items are numbers or names, you’ll need to enter the data before Excel can start working its magic. To enter your data, place one data item in each cell, arranged in the way that works best for you.

Enter Your Data

  1. Start a new workbook if you don’t already have a blank worksheet open. Save the workbook with a new file name.

  2. Type the header (the title) of the first column, press Tab, and type the header of the next column. Continue across the top row until all your columns have headers. Press Enter after you’ve typed the last item.

  3. Click in the beginning of the second row, and enter your data. Press Tab, and continue entering your data. Press Enter after you’ve typed the last item.

  4. Continue entering your data row by row, and be sure to save the file periodically.
