What’s on the Ribbon?

1. Tabs -There are seven of them across the top. Each represents core tasks you do in Excel.

2. Groups - Each tab has groups that show related items together.

3.  Commands - A command is a button, a box

to enter information, or a menu. 

The principal commands in Excel are gathered on the first tab, the Home tab.
