Modifying Cell Content

                 Excel provides two ways to modify or change the content of a cell. One is editing the content in
                 Edit mode and the other is overwriting or replacing the entire content of the cell directly.

                 I.  To activate the Edit mode and change the content of a cell, follow the given steps:




                     1  Create
                     a new
                     workbook
                     and enter
                     some data
                     into the
                     worksheet.

                            Edit
                           mode                                                        3  Edit the content and
                           active                                                     press the Enter key.





                                2  Double-click on the cell whose content you want to edit.

                 II.  To replace the entire content of a cell, follow the given steps:






















                                1  Click on the cell whose                       2  Type new content
                               content you want to replace.                     and press the Enter key.

                 You will notice that the old content is completely replaced with the new content.

                     COPYING/MOVING DATA

                 Similar to Word, data can be copied/moved from one cell to another in Excel. Let us perform
                 these operations.
                 Cut, Copy, and Paste Data

                 We can use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands in Excel to move or copy entire cell content.
                 The Cut command moves the content to a new location, removing it from its original location.
