To edit a workbook in Excel, you have a few options depending on whether you are using Excel for the web or the desktop application.
If you are using Excel for the web, you can easily edit your workbook directly in the browser. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the Microsoft Office website or your organization’s Office 365 portal.
2. Sign in to your Microsoft account or your organization’s account.
3. Locate and open Excel for the web.
4. Once Excel for the web is open, you will see a list of your recent files. If the workbook you want to edit is not listed, you can click on “Open Other Workbooks” or “Upload” to access it.
5. Once you have opened the workbook, you can start editing it by simply clicking on the cell you want to modify and entering the desired data. You can also use the various formatting options available in the ribbon toolbar to customize the appearance of your workbook.
6. Excel for the web automatically saves your changes as you work, so you don’t need to worry about manually saving your progress.
If you prefer to use the desktop application, you can also edit your workbook in Excel. Here’s how:
1. Open Excel on your computer by clicking on the Excel icon in the Start menu or by searching for Excel in the search bar.
2. Once Excel is open, you will see a list of your recent workbooks. If the workbook you want to edit is not listed, you can click on “Open” or “Open Other Workbooks” to navigate to the file location.
3. Once you have opened the workbook, you can start editing it just like you would in Excel for the web. You can click on any cell to enter or modify data, use the formatting options in the ribbon toolbar, and access advanced features such as formulas and functions.
4. To save your changes, you can either click on the “Save” button in the top left corner of the Excel window or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S. Excel also has an autosave feature that automatically saves your work at regular intervals to prevent data loss.
In summary, to edit a workbook in Excel, you can use either Excel for the web or the desktop application. Excel for the web allows you to edit your workbook directly in the browser, while the desktop application provides more advanced editing options. Both options offer automatic saving to ensure your work is preserved.
