Best Answer

Any regular text put into a cell is a text value. It can be use in formulas in many ways. There are a lot of functions that do things with text, like change the case of the text or search the text or find the length of the text etc. Values do not have to be only numbers. They can be other things, including text. If you type your name into a cell, then that is a text value.

There is no single answer. Often it can be a label, which may be the answer you are looking for, but text values used in Excel are not always labels. If you have a list of names in a spreadsheet, the names are not labels. There may be a label at the top like "Names", but the names themselves are not labels.

How to open Excel file in dos editor?

A DOS editor is not capable of reading a standard Excel file. An Excel file must be opened with Excel or some application that can read Excel files. Text editors are not capable of doing that. They are designed for working on things like text files.If you have a standard Excel file and save it as a text file, then text editors can open them. All that will be in that is pure text, and not things like formulas and calculations and formatting etc. When you are saving as a text file, save it with a txt extension and most text editors will be able to open it. How you specifically do it will depend on the particular text editor you are using.
