Enter and Edit Cell Values

Select a cell, type a value, edit it in the formula bar — the foundation of every spreadsheet.

You will learn to

• Select cells and type values
• Edit with the formula bar or F2
• Understand text vs numbers

How it works

Click a cell to select it, then type and press Enter. To change a value, select the cell and type over it, or press F2 (or double-click) to edit in place. The formula bar above the grid always shows exactly what is stored in the selected cell.
