Excel Went Weird On Me

I was working in Excel and suddenly it went weird on me. The whole screen showed only cell a1 (super large, screen size) and no other cells. How do I get it back to the regular spreadsheet so I can operate? I have no idea what I did to make this happen, nor how to revert back to normal view. See screenshot below. Thanks!

Hi AuntieKath. I am an Excel user like you and will try to help.

What you are looking at is not cell A1. It is the Formula Bar that has been expanded all the way down the screen. If you will right click in that area (I had to click a couple times to get the menu to come up) and then click on Collapse Formula Bar, as below, everything will go back to normal.
