Data to be typed into the spreadsheet.
Output
Worksheet results

3. #1 -- Types of information in Excel
Three types of information can be typed in an Excel spreadsheet – Labels, Values, and Formulas
Labels
Text
Left-aligned
Relate values in corresponding columns and rows
Type an apostrophe before a number to treat number like a label
Example: ‘
Example: ‘

4. #2 -- Types of information in Excel
Values
Numbers
To be used in calculations
Right-aligned

Formulas
Used to perform calculations
Begin with = sign
Next type the cell addresses that contain the values you want to calculate
Formula Example: =A5+A6+A7+A8

Operators
Mathematical operators are + (addition), - (subtraction),
* (multiplication), / (division), and ^ (exponentiation)
If a formula contains more than one operator at the same level of a precedence (example both addition and subtraction), the expression is calculated from left to right.
Operations in parenthesis calculated first
Example of Formula: =A3*B3
The value in A3 is multiplied by the value in B3
Use cell references
By using the cell address in the formula, you can use the powerful recalculation feature in Excel. If you change the contents of a cell that is included in a formula, the worksheet is automatically recalculated so that all values are current.

7. Your Topic Goes Here Functions Your subtopics go here
Built-in Formulas
Formulas and Functions begin with =
Use Insert Menu, fx on Formula bar, or Autosum button
The value in A3 is multiplied by the value in B3
Can be typed in manually in the Formula bar
Example of Function
=AVERAGE(B13:D13)
Use range of cells (B13:D13)
Colon means function includes cells B13 through D13

8. Your Topic Goes Here Common Functions Your subtopics go here SUM
