There are three main types of data used in Microsoft Works Spreadsheets:

  • labels
  • values
  • dates/times

A label is an entry that is usually used for headings, names, and for identifying columns of data. Labels can contain letters and numbers.

A value contains numbers and can be used in calculations.

Date/time data is just that, a date or the time entered into a cell.
