OK – we now know how to highlight cells, but we still don’t have any data in them!

Cells can hold all sorts of data, including text, numbers and calculations.

In order to enter data into a cell, first select it. After you have highlighted the cell you want, you can add data to it either just by starting to type straight away, or by clicking the in to the right hand side of the formula bar and typing there:

To delete any unwanted or incorrect information simply press backspace. If you highlight a cell that already has data in it and start typing, the original data will be wiped. If you want to edit the data that is already in the cell, highlight that cell and press F2.

After you are satisfied that you have put what you want to in the cell, press enter to finish or if you prefer use the directional key buttons or mouse to move to another cell or area.

All of this is covered in our Beginners Excel Course.
