Beginners Excel Practice Exercise: Data Entry and Tables
1.) Type the labels: these are the titles of each column of data. Use the tab or arrow keys to navigate quickly to the next cell. (Hint: you can use the autofill feature to quickly fill in the labels that are the months)
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”.
4.) Once you have entered all of this data, insert a table using the data. Change the table’s style and sort the contents of column A in alphabetical order.
