Beginners Excel Practice Exercise: Data Entry and Tables

2.) Next, type the names listed in column A. Remember to resize the column if the name is longer than the cell. 
 
3.) Type the constants: these are the monetary values you see above. Use the number formatting command to format the cells to “currency”.
