Excel Screen Orientation

 Excel Screen Orientation

When you open Excel 2013 for the first time, the Excel Start Screen will appear. From here, you'll be able to create a new workbook, choose a template, and access your recently edited workbooks.

From the Excel Start Screen, locate and select Blank workbook to access the Excel interface. 

Working with the Excel environment

If you've previously used Excel 2010 or 2007, Excel 2013 will feel very familiar. It continues to use features like the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar, where you will find commands to perform common tasks in Excel, as well as Backstage view.

The Ribbon

Excel 2013 uses a tabbed Ribbon system instead of traditional menus (Like Excel 2003). The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of commands. You will use these tabs to perform the most common tasks in Excel.

  The Home Tab
    The Home tab gives you access to some of the most commonly used commands for working with data in Excel 2013, including copy and paste, formatting, and number styles. 

What is Microsoft Excel 2013

The Microsoft Office suite is an essential collection of desktop applications that includes Word for documents, Excel for spreadsheets, PowerPoint for presentations, Access for databases, and much more.
 From this suite we use MS Excel spreadsheet software, Excel 2013 is similar to Excel 2010. If you've previously used Excel 2010, Excel 2013 should feel very familiar. But if you are new to Excel, or if you have more experience with older versions, you should first take some time to become familiar with the Excel 2013 interface.
