It is important to distinguish between a value and a label when entering information into an Excel worksheet. Please describe both a label and a value.

What will be an ideal response?


- A label is any text entered into a cell of the worksheet. You can use labels for a worksheet title, to describe the numbers you've entered in other cells, and for text data, such as the names of people or cities. Any numerical data you do not intend to use in a calculation should be entered as a label. This data might be a telephone number, a Social Security number, or a street address.
- A value is a number that you intend to use in a calculation and that is entered into a cell of a worksheet. Cells containing values can be used in formulas to calculate results.
