25 Math Operations Absolute references

26 Absolute references Description How to use it Math Operations
G9 Both column and row float $G$9 Both column and row are fixed $G9 Only the column is fixed, the row can vary G$9 Only the column can vary, the row is fixed How to use it Click a cell where you want to enter a formula Type = to begin the formula Select a cell, and then press the F4 key to make that cell reference absolute

28 Naming cells and ranges
Math Operations BOG-ZWI Naming cells and ranges Description By using names, you can make your formulas much easier to understand and maintain You can define a name or a cell range, function, constant, or table Once you adopt the practice of using names in your workbook, you can easily update, audit, and manage these names 3 The name manager allows you to edit your named ranges How to use it 2 Enter the name on the top left name box, and press enter 1 Select the chosen cell or range of cells

30 Basic Formulas Structure of formulas

31 Basic Formulas Structure of formulas Formula componentsare the most challenging part! Different formulas require different components. Whole other formulas can act as formula components; these are called “nested” formulas.But for now, let’s keep it simple!

35 Basic Formulas =COUNT This formula only works with numbers! It only counts the cells where there are numbers.

39 Importing text data BOG-ZWI Paste special Description Use the Paste Special dialog to copy complex items from a Microsoft Office Excel worksheet and paste them into the same worksheet or another Excel worksheet using only specific attributes of the copied data, or a mathematical operation that you want to apply to the copied data How to use it

45 Importing text data BOG-ZWI Importing data Data will often be provided in a text file (e.g., tab-delimited or plain-text with spaces). When this is the case, the data must be imported into Excel before it can be analyzed To import data into Excel, use the import wizard (Data : Import External Data : Import Data) Two types of data can be imported Delimited: Data fields are split by commas or any other character and importing involves creating a cell each time the character appears Fixed width: A column is the same width for each row (as seen in the example) and the user identifies how wide each column should be Following the wizard will result in formatted data being imported
