Editing Cells & Entering Expressions in Excel

Question

How to edit cells and enter expressions in Excel?

Answer

You can edit a cell by selecting the cell and then clicking in the formulas bar or by double-clicking the cell; double-clicking the cell will place your cursor inside that cell, allowing you to edit directly inside the cell. 
Telephone numbers or social security numbers that contain other characters (like a dash or parentheses) are treated as text and cannot be used in calculations. Arithmetic operators (such as +, -, /, and *) are used in formulas.
