To test your knowledge, try to complete this activity:

1. Open a blank workbook. 
2. Create a spreadsheet with three columns and four rows.
3. Put random numbers into each of the cells in the spreadseet.
4. Add all the numbers in column two and show the total in a cell directly underneath.
   
5. Close Excel®.  Because this is an activity, you do not need to save the workbook file.
