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.
