Exploring the Excel Window
Worksheet rows lie horizontally and are numbered from 1 to 1,048,576. Worksheet columns lie vertically and are labeled from A to Z. Successive groups of 26 columns are labeled AA to AZ, BA to BZ, etc. A cell is the intersection of a row and column A cell address or cell reference names a cell and it is made up from the column letter and row number. Example Cell A3 The active cell is the current cell.
7
Entering Text Text is any combination of letters, numbers, symbols, and spaces not used in calculations.
8
Entering Values Values are numbers that represent a quantity or a measurable amount.
9
Entering DATES You can enter dates and times in a variety of formats in cells, such as 9/1/2016; 9/1/16; September 1, 2016; or 1-Sep-16. You can also enter times, such as 1:30 PM or 13:30.
10
Using Auto Fill Auto Fill enables you to copy the contents of a cell or cell range to continue a series using the fill handle. The fill handle is the small green square in the bottom right corner of an active cell

Adjusting Column Width
To widen a column to accommodate the longest label or value in a column, do one of the following: Position the pointer on the vertical border between the current column heading and the next column heading. When the pointer displays as a two-headed arrow, double click the border. Drag the vertical border to the left to decrease the column width or to the right to increase the column width.
21
Adjusting Row Height You can adjust the row height in a way similar to how you change column width by double-clicking the border between row numbers
22
Selecting a Cell Range A range is a group of adjacent or contiguous cell. Two cell addresses separated by a colon ( : ) represents a range. Example: C3:D7 To select a range, drag from the upper left cell to the lower right cell.
23
Selecting a Cell Range Following are the methods you can use to select ranges and an entire column or row: To select a range: Drag until you select the entire range OR select the first cell then press and hold shift then click the last cell in the range. To select an entire column OR a row: Click on the column or row heading.
24
Moving a Range To move a range, do the following: Select the range.
Use the Cut command to move the range. After you click on the Cut, select destination and choose Paste. Note The shortcut key combination for cutting is Ctrl + X and pasting is Ctrl + V.
25
Copying a Range To copy a range, do the following: Select the range.
Use the Copy command to copy the contents. After you copy it, select destination and choose Paste. The original range has the moving dashed border. To turn off the moving dashed border around the originally selected range, press Esc button. Note The shortcut key combination for copying is Ctrl + C and for Paste is Ctrl + V.
26
Formatting The following figure shows different formatting options such as wrap text, merge, applying alignment options, borders and fill color. Wrap Text Vertical alignment Horizontal alignment Merge & Center Main title merged and centered over columns Fill color applied to cells Boarder surrounding a range
27
Merge and center labels
A range of cells can be merged together to become one cell. To merge cells , Select the range of cells across which you want to merge and click Merge & Center in the Alignment group on the Home tab. To unmerge cells (split the merged cell back into its original multiple cells), click the merged cell and click Merge & Center. Table 1.5 shows the four merge options.
28
WRAP TEXT WRAP TEXT : This button wraps extra long text into multiple lines so we can see all of it without changing the cell width. To wrap the text, select the cell then click Wrap Text in the Alignment group on the Home tab.
29
Numeric Formats You should apply number formats based on the type of values in a cell, such as applying either the Accounting or Currency number format to monetary values. See Table 1.6 for common numeric formats such as General, Number, Currency, Accounting, Comma, Date, and Time. See Table 1.6 for common numeric formats such as General, Number, Currency, Accounting, Comma, Date, and Time. Many numeric formats permit the user to specify the number of decimal places and options for negative values including parentheses and/or red color.

To apply 1000 separator (Comma style) To Decrease Decimal To apply currency style To change the category of number format To apply percentage style
32
Entering Formulas Formulas are combinations of cell addresses, math operations, values and/or functions A formula begins with the equal sign (=) Examples: =A1+A2 =C2*5
33
Mathematical Symbols The formula is displayed in the Formula Bar when the cell is selected. The following table shows what mathematical keys to use when entering formulas in Excel. Example : =C4/D4 Operation Common Symbol Symbol in Excel Addition + Subtraction - Multiplication X * Division ÷ / Exponentiation ^
34
Cell References in Formulas
It is best to use cell addresses in formulas versus actual data Example: If cell A1 contains the value 5 and you need to add B1 to this value, use =A1+B1 versus =5+B1 So, If the data changes, Excel will recalculate the result
35
Function Basics An Excel function is a predefined formula that performs a calculation. A function begins with the equal sign (=) followed by the function name and arguments in parentheses. Example: =SUM(A1:A3)
36
Basic Functions Common functions include: AVERAGE arithmetic mean
MIN minimum value MAX maximum value COUNT number of values in range SUM calculates a total IF logical function
37
Insert Function To display the Insert Function dialog box, click Insert Function (located before the Formula Bar) or click Insert Function on the Insert tab OR use the AutoSum to insert the Function needed. Click here to display function dialog box Click here to display function dialog box
38
Insert Function From within the dialog box, select a function category, such as Most Recently Used, and select a function to display the syntax and a brief description of that function. Click to display a list of categories Select a Function Syntax and description of selected function
39
The IF Function It is a function that is used to test the values in a cell and return one value if true and another if false. The IF function has three arguments: A condition that is tested to determine if it is either true or false The resulting value if the condition is true The resulting value if the condition is false =IF(logical_test, “value_if_true”, “value_if_false”)
40
Designing the Logical Test
The logical test is built from the logical operators.
41
