 Wrap Up
A Workbook is the document itself when you open
your Excel. A Spreadsheet on the other hand is
just one portion of your document.

Formulas in Excel works as your normal arithmetic

operations but you need to place an equal sign (=)
before performing any operation between two or
more values. Functions on the other hand are
specialized operations with assigned names of
actions that use formulas and return a value. 36
 Wrap Up

following parts:
○ Cell that contains the input values ○ Quick Access Toolbar that shows
○ Row Number the commonly used tools such as
○ Column Letter Undo, Redo, and Save
○ Name Box that shows the name of ○ Spreadsheet Tab where you can

column letter and a row number your workbook
○ Formula Bar for the computations ○ Status Bar where you can see the
○ Ribbon which contains tools current status of your document

 Wrap Up
The Ribbon contains different Excel Tabs that
contain the different tools depending on your needs.
The different tabs you can check are File, Home,
Insert, Draw, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, and
