Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to Internet Computing Fundamentals III Module on WORKING WITH
CELLS: Select cell Range, Insert, Delete, Copy, Paste & Cut cell contents.
This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and
reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.
This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the learner:

Welcome to the Internet Computing Fundamentals III Module on WORKING

WITH CELLS: Select cell Range, Insert, Delete, Copy, Paste & Cut cell contents.

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You

 WORKING WITH CELLS

Cells are the basic worksheet building blocks. To measure, evaluate, and organize
data in Excel, you'll need to know the fundamentals of cells and cell material. This
chapter will help you understand well how to work with cells.

WHAT IS A CELL?
 It is the box-like structure where you enter data.
 It is where a row and column meet.
 There are more than 17 billion cells on a worksheet in Excel.
 Data such as Text, numbers, or formulas are entered in cells.

COLUMN
 It is a vertical group of cells within a worksheet.
 Columns are classified by letters A, B, C…
 There are 16,384 XFD columns in a worksheet

ROW
 It is a horizontal group of cells within a worksheet.
 Rows are classified by numbers 1, 2, 3…
 There are 1,048,576 rows in a worksheet

CELL ADDRESS
 Each cell has its own name based position in the worksheet.
 For example, the selected cell intersects column C and row 5, so the cell address
is C5.
 Cell address appears in the Name box in the top-left corner

NAMEBOX

ACTIVE CELL

ACTIVE CELL
 It is the currently selected cell, the one in which you can enter data.
 It is easily identified by its border highlighted in green.
CELL RANGE
 It is a collection of two or more cells.
 It is a group of cells within a row or column.

Cell range A1:F1

Cell range Cell range

A1:A8 A1:F8

SELECT A CELL:

You'll first need to select the cell to insert or edit cell content.

1. Click a cell to select it. For

example, select cell B4.
2. A border will appear around the
selected cell and will highlight the
heading of the column and the
heading of the row.

NOTE: You can also select cells using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

SELECT A CELL RANGE:

1. Highlight all the adjacent cells

you wish to pick.
For example, select cell
range A1: B6.
2. Release the mouse to select the
desired cell range. The selected
cells remain until you click on
another cell in the worksheet.
INSERT CONTENT:

1. Click a cell to select it. For example, select cell B4. Type something into the cell
you have selected, then press Enter on your keyboard.

2. The content will appear in the cell and the formula bar. The formula bar also
allows you to enter and edit cell content.

Formula Bar

Inserted text in cell

DELETE (OR CLEAR) CELL CONTENT:

content in cell range A3:C3.

2. Go to Clear command on the Home tab, then click Clear Contents.

3. The cell contents will be cleared.

NOTE: The Delete key on your keyboard can also be used to remove material from multiple cells
at once. The Backspace key can only delete one cell at a time.

You can copy / duplicate material already in your spreadsheet and paste it into other
cells.

1. Highlight the cell(s) you want to copy. For example, select D3.

2. Select Copy command on the Home tab, or press Ctrl+C on your keyboard.
3. Highlight cell(s) where you want to paste the content. For example, select D3.
The copied cell(s) around it will have a dashed mark.

press Ctrl+V on your keyboard.

5. The content is pasted into the cells selected.

MORE PASTE OPTIONS:

 Use right-click, instead of picking commands from the Ribbon.

 Only highlight cell(s) that you want to format, then right-click on the keyboard.
A drop-down menu will appear, where you can find a variety of commands on
the Ribbon, too.
