1 Editing Data Next This tutorial deals with changing and editing data and worksheets.

2 Edit Mode Let’s assume you entered the wrong name in cell A2. There are two ways to correct it:  Double-click the cell. Then edit it.  Click in the cell, and then click in the formula bar. After you select the cell, the worksheet says Edit in the lower-left corner, on the status bar. While the worksheet is in Edit mode, many commands are temporarily unavailable (these commands are gray on the menus). You'll see more about this in the practice at the end of the lesson. Please remember that when you're all through, press ENTER or TAB so that your changes stay in the cell. Next Edit Mode

3 Changing Cell Formatting Let’s assume that someone else used your worksheet and changed Hughes’ amount to Red to indicate that was the largest sale. You see now that you entered the amount incorrectly and it is no longer the largest. When you correct the amount you notice that the new amount is still red. What's going on is that it's the cell that is formatted, not the data in the cell. So when you delete data that has special formatting, you also need to delete the formatting from the cell. Until you do, any data you enter in that cell will have the special formatting. To remove formatting, click in the cell and then, on the Home tab, in the Editing group, click the arrow on Clear. Then click Clear Formats, which removes the format from the cell. Or you can click Clear All to remove both the data and the formatting at the same time. Next Home Tab Editing Group

4 Entering New Rows or Columns Oftentimes you may need to insert a new row or column. To insert a single column, click any cell in the column immediately to the right of where you want the new column to go. Then, on the Home tab, in the Cells group, click the arrow on Insert. On the drop-down menu, click Insert Sheet Columns. A new blank column is inserted. To insert a single row, click any cell in the row immediately below where you want the new row to go. Then in the Cells group, click the arrow on Insert. On the drop-down menu, click Insert Sheet Rows. A new blank row is inserted. Excel gives a new column or row the heading its place requires, and changes the headings of later columns and rows. Next To insert this column click in the Amount row to the right of where you want the new column To insert this row click in the Noel row below where you want the new row Cells Group
