Opening Excel and Creating a New Workbook

Let's start by opening Excel and creating a new workbook. You can open Excel by pressing the Windows key, typing "Excel," and pressing Enter. Once Excel is open, you'll be prompted to either open an existing file or create a new workbook.

For this lesson, we’ll create a new workbook by pressing Alt + F to open the "File" menu, then pressing N for "New," followed by Enter to select a blank workbook.
