Microsoft Excel is a powerful spreadsheet program used for data organization, analysis, visualization, and automation. Whether you're tracking expenses, calculating grades, or analyzing trends, Excel provides a flexible platform to manage and understand data efficiently.

📊 Excel Interface Overview

When you open Excel, here are the key components you'll see:

• Workbook: A file that contains one or more worksheets (tabs)
• Worksheet: A grid of rows and columns where data is entered
• Cells: The individual boxes where data is typed (e.g., A1, B2)
• Ribbon: The top menu with buttons for formatting, inserting charts, etc.
• Formula Bar: Displays or edits the content of the selected cell

🔤 Entering Data

You can simply click a cell and type to enter numbers, text, or formulas.

 Example: A1 → "Name" A2 → "Rahul" B1 → "Marks" B2 → "85" 

📐 Basic Excel Formula Example

Formulas always start with = in Excel. You can use them for calculations:

 = A1 + B1 → Adds values in cells A1 and B1 = AVERAGE(B2:B6) → Calculates average from B2 to B6 = SUM(B2:B10) → Adds up all values from B2 to B10
