Summarize the following:
Regularly save your spreadsheet as you add data. Set up your columns. Columns are the vertical partitions that move from top to bottom in Excel. Use the top row of horizontal cells to name your columns. These may include titles like date, name, address, amount payable, amount receivable, amount paid or total. Set up your rows. Begin entering data that corresponds with your column headings in the second horizontal row and all the horizontal rows below it. Decide if you want to create totals in a column to the right of your data or below a column in a row labeled "Total." Some people prefer for the final calculations to be listed a few rows below all of the entered numbers.

Summary:
Open the Microsoft Excel program on your computer. Select a saved spreadsheet or create a new spreadsheet. Click the "File" menu at the top and save your spreadsheet under a name on your computer. Create a custom table.
