hi I'm Ted today I'm going to show you
how to edit the contents of a cell in
Excel I have a small spreadsheet setup
here it's just a goofy thing that I set
up for the purpose of illustrating
things and we have the name the state
and the occupation of several fictional
people so let's say we want to change
let's say Guido here let's say his boat
sunk he was a fisherman and in Alaska
and let's say he's now going to be
working as a dock worker so what we do
is we go to the cell we want to change
and we double click on it and when I do
that watch what happens here in what's
called the formula bar up here and then
double click down here and you can see
that the check mark and the X are now
active in the formula bar now we can
edit it either directly in the cell or
we can go up here so we're going to go
up to the formula bar double click on
that we're now in text edit mode and
we're going to change this fellas
occupation and then you hit a return and
you can see it changed down here and we
can do the same thing let's say this guy
decided he wanted a more exciting
profession so we changed it for him we'd
double click and this time we reading
directly in the cell and then we hit a
return and there we go we've changed the
information so that's just very basic to
it to Excel you'll use that all the time
I hope this has been helpful
I'm Ted and today I showed you how to
edit the contents of a cell in Excel
thank you for watching
