What Is a Spreadsheet?

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Excel journey — lesson 1 of 42.

A spreadsheet is a grid of little boxes called cells, and each cell can hold a value.

Challenge

Welcome to your first spreadsheet! The value is already typed in for you.

What to do:

Look at the highlighted cell, it says Hello Excel!
Press the Run Code button
The test checks that cell and passes. That is all a spreadsheet is: values living in cells.
