In Excel, everything you do—whether it’s formatting, inserting charts, writing formulas, or managing data—happens through the Ribbon. The Ribbon is that big toolbar at the top of Excel, neatly divided into Tabs (like Home, Insert, Data) and Groups (like Clipboard, Font, Alignment).
In this guide, we’ll explore all the Excel Ribbon tabs, their groups, and the commands inside them, so you can quickly find the tool you need and work smarter in Excel.
