This is largely unchanged from previous versions of Excel use it to scroll up and down. But even if you hate the Ribbon initially, it can be your friend check out the section Learn to love the Ribbon for details. If you've spent years getting to know Excel's old interface, you'll likely be frustrated at having to learn a whole new interface. So, for example, when you click the Insert tab, the Ribbon appears with buttons for items that you can insert into a spreadsheet, such as charts, tables, pivot tables, clip art or a hyperlink. Instead of old-style menus, in which menus have submenus, submenus have sub-submenus and so on, the Ribbon groups small icons for common tasks together in tabs on a big, well, ribbon. Love it or hate it, the Ribbon is the main way you'll work with Excel. Just to the right of the Office button is the Quick Access toolbar, with buttons for using Excel’s most common features, including Save, Undo, Redo, Sort, Print Preview and more, but you can add and remove buttons for any functions you please. You'll find familiar features for opening files, saving files, printing files and so on, but there's a lot more here as well, as you'll discover later in this guide.

The big button on the upper left-hand corner of the screen replaces the old File menu from previous versions of Excel.
