2. Introduction to Spreadsheets
A spreadsheet is an electronic file used to organize related data and perform calculations. Example- Microsoft Excel.

3. Exploring the Excel Window
A worksheet is a single spreadsheet that contains formulas, values, text, and graphical representations of data. Each worksheet is identified by a sheet tab
A workbook is a file containing related worksheets. By default, new workbooks have one worksheet.

6. 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

11. Rename a Workbook
The default workbook name Book1 does not describe the contents of the workbook. You should rename workbook title to reflect the book contents. To rename a workbook, do the following: • Double-click workbook title, type the new name, and then press Enter.

12. Rename a Worksheet

Select the cell(s), click the Delete arrow in the Cells group, and then select Delete Cells to display the Delete dialog box, then Click the appropriate option to shift cells left or up and click OK.

20. 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.

30. Numeric Formats

31. Numeric Formats To Increase Decimal
To apply 1000 separator (Comma style)
To Decrease Decimal
To apply currency 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

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. Excel Errors and Their meanings
#DIV/0!
Trying to divide by 0
#NAME?
Text in the formula is not recognized
#VALUE!
The wrong type of operand or function argument is used
#######
The column is not wide enough to display the content
