What is data in excel?

In a spreadsheet the data is the actual values that you type in, that are then used in calculations. So if you were to type in a list of 10 numbers and then type a formula to add the ten numbers, it is the ten numbers that are your data. The formula is using your data. You could have other formulas that work on those 10 numbers, like getting the average or the highest or lowest number in the list. None of those formulas are your data though, just the original 10 numbers. You could then type in other numbers or dates or text and they would all form part of your data. But any calculations you do or formulas you use are not data.
