In this lesson, we are going to learn about working with cells in Excel 2016, including how to select, enter, and manage data within individual cells and cell ranges. You’ll understand how cells are named by their row and column location, and how to work with content types like text, formatting, and formulas. The lesson also covers how to select single cells or groups of cells for editing or formatting.
You’ll learn how to insert and delete cell content, including the difference between clearing content and deleting entire cells, which causes nearby cells to shift. We’ll also explore how to copy, cut, and paste cell content using the Ribbon commands or keyboard shortcuts. These functions make it easy to organize and manage your data efficiently.
Finally, we’ll cover how to move cell content using drag-and-drop, which offers a quick alternative to cut and paste.
