Editing Information in a Cell

Information in a spreadsheet is likely to change over time. Information can be changed in either of two ways.

Quick and Easy Method:

• Click the cell that contains the information to be changed.
• Type the new entry. The old entry is replaced by the new entry.

If the original entry is long and requires only a minor adjustment (in spelling, for example), then you can directly edit the information in the cell.

To Edit Information in a Cell:

Method 1: Direct Cell Editing

Method 2: Formula Bar Editing
