  • Data Types in Spreadsheet Cells: Numbers & Text Explained
    The two basic types of data you can enter into a cell are:

    1. Values: These are numerical data like numbers, dates, and times. They can be used for calculations and analysis.

    2. Text: This includes any characters, words, or phrases that are not numerical. It can be used for labels, descriptions, or any other non-numerical information.

    While these are the two basic types, it's worth noting that some software programs might consider additional types like:

    * Formulas: These are expressions that perform calculations based on other cells or data.

    * Functions: These are pre-defined formulas that perform specific calculations or tasks.

    But at the core, data entered into a cell is usually categorized as either values or text.
