# How to edit XLSX spreadsheets on Android A practical guide to editing XLSX spreadsheets on Android, including cells, sheets, formatting, formulas and workbook search. ## Quick answer A practical guide to editing XLSX spreadsheets on Android, including cells, sheets, formatting, formulas and workbook search. Spreadsheet editing on a phone works best when the app keeps the familiar ideas of cells, formulas and sheets but adapts them to a smaller screen. ## 1. Open the workbook and choose the right sheet XLSX files can contain multiple sheets, so confirm you are working in the correct tab before changing values. ## 2. Select a cell and edit its value or formula A formula bar makes it easier to see and change the raw cell contents, especially when a displayed value is the result of a calculation. ## 3. Apply formatting only where it helps Bold, italic, underline, alignment, text colour, fill colour and number formats such as currency, percentage and date can make a small workbook much easier to read. ## 4. Use workbook search for larger files Search can save a lot of scrolling when you need to locate a particular value, label or entry. ## 5. Save and re-check calculated cells After changing formulas or source values, check the important results before sharing the edited workbook. ## Common mistakes to avoid - Typing over a formula when you only meant to change an input value - Editing the wrong sheet in a multi-sheet workbook - Using text formatting where a number/date format is more appropriate - Saving over the only copy before checking important calculations ## Common questions ### Can I edit XLSX formulas on Android?
