First, Alistair needs to create a new spreadsheet.

key pointA spreadsheet consists of a series of rows and columns. Each row is
identified by a number, each column by a letter of the alphabet.

Where a row and column intersect, the cell is given the reference of the row/column. For example, the cell where row 2 and column C meet is called C2. This reference is important, as it is needed when creating formulas.

In this example, cell B3 shows how many pens have been sold.

Ìý A B C D
1 10 Dec 02 Ìý Ìý Ìý
2 Ìý number sold price total
3 Pens 8 £1 £8.00
4 Pencils 6 50p £3.00

Alistair makes a start on his spreadsheet by typing in the following headings:

  • Artist
  • Title
  • Price
