          3.4 PERfORMING BASIC OPERATIONS IN A SPREADSHEET

        A spreadsheet allows its users to enter, edit, delete, and use data. Let us see each of these functions that a spreadsheet
        allows us to perform.
        3.4.1 Entering Data in a Spreadsheet

        Entering data in a spreadsheet is very simple. To do so, follow the given steps:
         1   Click on the cell where data is to be entered. Suppose the user wants to enter data in cell A8. So, click on cell A8.












                                1












         2   Then type the data that is to be entered into the relevant cell using the keyboard.
                     Notes

                    By default, the numeric values will be right aligned and the text values will be left aligned as shown
                    in the above figure.


        Entering Formulas
        Formulas help to perform arithmetic calculations and also execute non-arithmetic tasks. A formula consists of an operand
        and the operators that operate upon the data. The formula has to be expressed with the prefix “=” before the operator/data.
