♦ 1 ♦ The Basic Structure of Spreadsheets
A spreadsheet file is called a Workbook and a new workbook file usually contains three Worksheets by default. A workbook file could be
thought of like a traditional paper notebook and its worksheets as the paper pages of a paper notebook.
Notice, across the top of the worksheet (page) are the Column Headings (A B C D E F ...) and down the left side of the worksheet are the Row
indicators (1 2 3 4 5 6 . . .). Along the bottom of the workbook are the worksheet tabs indicating that this Workbook contains three sheets,
(Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3). You can also see that we are currently on Sheet1.
Recall that sheets are naturally formatted like graph paper and each square on a sheet is referred to as a cell. Cells are identifed by their column
and row notations. So the cell currently selected (notice the black outline) is cell A1. It is also Column 1 and Row 1. If we were to move one cell
to the right, we would be in cell B1 or Column 2, Row 1. If we were to move down one cell (from A1), we would be in cell A2 or Column 1, Row 2.
(After column Z comes AA, AB, AC, AD...) It is highly unlikely that you would ever run out of rows or columns.
Additionally, the worksheets may be likened to sheets of graphing paper as they are sectioned by rows and columns.
This is a spreadsheet sample. Notice the graph paper like layout.
