Excel is powerful tool and can make your life easier if you are proficient in using it. You will need to use Excel to complete most of your experiments and are expected to know how to manipulate data, prepare plots and analyze error.
In Excel, the columns are labeled with letters, and rows are labeled by numbers. The individual boxes are called cells, which are designated by column and row. For example, the top left cell in the spreadsheet is A1. You can highlight an entire row or column by clicking on the letter or number, at the start of the row or top of the column, it is designated by. You can highlight specific cells by clicking INSIDE the cell and dragging the mouse. Pressing ENTER moves you down a column. Pressing TAB moves you across a row.
