To do so, simply press CTRL + F or CTRL + H. The Replace function will replace anything it searches for with the exact text you type into the second box—this is very useful for removing/replacing unwanted characters, making a mass-edit to change spelling, and the like.  \nColumn Width/Row Height: If you need more space in a column (such as one containing names or lengthy strings) or if you need to condense a small column, you can adjust the spacing of them by selecting the letters or numbers at the top or left, then dragging the line separating them to the left or right (to make them larger or smaller) . If you have selected multiple column or row headers, changing the width or height will adjust them all to be the same spacing.  \nCell Formatting: Formatting is not merely a cosmetic exercise—Excel stores data in particular ways, and knowing which format is necessary is an important thing. However, Excel is also able to auto-format many types of data, such as inconsistent times that you have entered, once you select the data and right-click, then go to Format Cells. Most people use the categories, so review that list and see what suits your needs, whether it is time, currency, or some other format. If you select Time, for example, there are numerous ways to display the same time, and the same is true for Numbers, where you can select the places to show beyond the decimal point. Please note that Text-style formatting means any number in those cells is treated as text, rather than a number that can be manipulated via a formula.  \nMultiple Worksheets: Beginning Excel users sometimes forget that you can have multiple worksheets. Each worksheet has its own references, but you can refer to multiple worksheets in a different worksheet. This is handy when you want to have a worksheet with your original values, a worksheet with your adjusted values (such as for a normal distribution or with the outliers removed) and another worksheet with your regressions and other statistical analyses.  \nText Wrap: Sometimes you have significant amounts of text in a cell, and you want it to wrap instead of spilling over to the right. In order to activate Word Wrap, select the cells you want to format, then go to Home > Alignment > Wrap Text. This will fit the information in the cell to its width.  \nMerging Cells and CONCATENATE: When you want to Merge cells, keep in mind that it will typically only show the value from the leftmost cell. To do a simple merge, select the cells, then select Home > Merge & Center. If you want to merge text information from multiple cells, you’ll instead use the CONCATENATE formula. That is used by typing in the formula, such as this example =CONCATENATE(A1,” “, B1) . This will combine cell A1 and B1 together, adding a space (the character within quotation marks) between the two strings.  \nLocking and Protecting Cells and Sheets: If you want to keep a cell, range of cells, or worksheet locked (so you don’t accidentally edit them, or if you are sharing with others) you can select the range, then goto Home > Alignment > Format Cells > Protection, and select Locked. You can also reach this submenu via a right-click, then selecting Format Cells directly. This will keep them from being edited, but you also have to Protect the document. In order to do that, you go to the Review menu tab, then select Protect Sheet or Protect Workbook.  \nFreezing a Row or Column: Not to be confused with Locking, this is a helpful tool for working on large spreadsheets. Freezing means that the row or column selected (usually the top or leftmost) will always  \nbe visible, even when you scroll to another part of the document or re-arrange the other cells. To freeze a row or column, go to View > Freeze Panes, and choose the selection you need.  \nHiding a Row or Column: You may be working on a large data set and not always","cbCaiePKH2MJJDaZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiePKH2MJJDaZ","pdf",158025,"English","# Find and Replace\n# Column Width and Row Height\n# Cell Formatting\n# Multiple Worksheets\n# Text Wrap\n# Merging Cells and CONCATENATE\n# Locking and Protecting Cells and Sheets\n# Freezing and Hiding Rows/Columns\n# Keyboard Shortcuts\n# Windows vs. Mac Excel","[{\"question\":\"How do I find and replace values in an Excel table?\",\"answer\":\"Use CTRL + F to find and CTRL + H to replace.
