Quick start

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel logo

Microsoft Excel is industry-standard software for organizing data and running repeated mathematical calculations. Its capabilities expand into data visualization, analysis, and automation while plugins enable advanced features such as Bloomberg data access. This guide is designed to introduce typical Excel features.

Excel Editions

This guide is optimized for the installable Windows edition of Excel, which is standard in business and offers the most features and navigation options. Where Excel for Mac navigation differs, this guide attempts to note alternate controls. Mobile and web-based editions tend to share the overall layout of installable editions but dramatically limit keyboard navigation among other capabilities.
