Data can be thought of as collections of facts. They may be numbers, names, locations, or other items.
As an example, we can think of a person. Some data for that person may be:
Data with a key:value structure like above - as in Key:"First Name", value:"Ronald" - can be easily stored in a table to see more data in line with it:
First Name | Last Name-------------------|--------------------Ronald | ReaganAs you can see, it's a bit cumbersome to type out a table as seen here. So, we can instead turn to Google Sheets.
A cell is an individual box on a spreadsheet. Cells are meant to hold one type of data, such as a number, or some text. If you open up a spreadsheet, you'll see what looks like an elongated grid. An individual cell is named by the row and column it's on, such as "1A" for the top left cell.
Rows on spreadsheets are labeled (1, 2, 3, ...) and consist of one cell on the left of the spreadsheet, and all cells in line with that cell vertically going off to the right.
Columns are the vertical parts of a spreadsheet and consist of one cell at the top, and all the cells below it. These are labeled ("A, B, C, ...).
