📄Cells

The Cells group, located on the Home tab in MS Excel, is your hub for managing and modifying individual cells within your worksheet. It provides tools for inserting, deleting, and formatting your data, allowing you to tailor your spreadsheet to your specific needs.



Here’s a breakdown of each function:

Insert:

Cells: Insert one or more blank cells above, below, or to the right of the selected cell. Useful for adding space for new data or organizing your existing information.
Rows: Add one or more new rows above or below the selected row. Perfect for accommodating additional data entries or creating space for headers and labels.
Columns: Insert one or more new columns to the left or right of the selected column. Great for expanding your data set or incorporating new variables.
Sheet: Add a new worksheet to your workbook, essentially giving you a fresh canvas for your data.

Delete:

Cells: Remove one or more selected cells entirely from the worksheet. Use with caution!
Rows: Delete the selected row and all data it contains. Be aware that this action cannot be undone easily.
Columns: Remove the selected column and all data it contains. Proceed with care, especially if other cells reference the deleted data.
Sheet: Remove an entire worksheet from your workbook. This eliminates all data and formatting contained within the sheet.

Format:

This option opens a sub-menu with various commands to customize the appearance and behavior of your cells. Some noteworthy features include:
Number: Specify data formats like decimals, percentages, or dates.
Alignment: Adjust how text or numbers are positioned within the cell (left, right, center).
Font: Change the font style, size, and color.
Borders: Add borders to individual cells or groups of cells.
Fill Color: Apply background colors to enhance differentiation and visual appeal.
Cell shading: Apply different shades of gray or custom colors to highlight specific data points.
