When you are done it should look like this:
LAUNCH: Microsoft Excel

Go to Cell A4 and type Name
Go to cell B4 and type Birthday
Go to cell C4 and type Days old
Go to cell D4 and type Years from today
Go to cell E4 and type Years old
Go to cell A5 and type your name
Go to cell B5 and type your birth date, but make sure you type it like this 3/4/1969 so the slashes go in the correct direction, the month comes first, then day, then year, and no spaces.
Don't forget to hit the return key.
Save the file again
Type in the rest of your classmates names 1 name per cell below your name
Type in your classmates birthdates 1 birthdate per cell below your birthdate
