"Hi, I'm Amar Enhsaihan, I'm going to show you how to define cell names in Excel. Here I have spreadsheet open. Let's say we want to name this as a year, so I highlight this cell, go to the insert, name define and I can name it anyway I want. But make sure you don't have spaces, it doesn't like spaces. So let's say, we name it as a year, click okay and this cell is named as year now. To prove that, I'll show it to you. Echo, year, look what's showing up, years of experience, because I name this cell as year. And that's how you name cells in Excel. I'm Amar Enhsaihan, thank you for watching."
