2. Ribbon
Ribbon contains the Excel commands that are grouped by different Tabs such as Home, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, Review and View and so on. You can customize the Tabs and Commands from the File Button.
3. Worksheet Area
Worksheet Area is the area that holds your data or information. Cells are identified by columns and rows. Each column is identified by a letter (e.g., A, B, C). Each row is identified by a number (e.g., 1, 2, 3). You can create new worksheets from the Tabs at the bottom. A cell is a combination of its row and its column, for example, cell A2 is located in the first column (column A) and second row (2nd Row).
4. Name Box
Name Box is the place that displays the location of the current active cell. Every time you move your mouse, the cell name in the Name Box will be changed.
5. Formula Bar
Formula Bar is the area that displays the cell's contents for the cell you selected or the first cell's contents when you select a range. If the cell contains a formula, the formula instead of the value itself will appear in this area.
