Structure

Its layout is a grid made up of horizontal rows and vertical columns, like a big table.
Where a row and column intersect is a rectangular box, called a cell.
Cells hold individual pieces of information, such as a number, date, currency amount, name, or other text.
A cell can also be empty or hold a formula, a mathematical equation that calculates a value.
