9. Cell Data Cell data - Things that can be entered into a cell: Numbers*
Words*
Equations, formulas or functions*
Fill color
Images (although they are actually on top of a cell, not in it)
*Note – Only numbers, words, and equations will appear in the Formula Bar

10. Basic Steps 1. Put Cursor in cell and click to activate;
2. When a cell is chosen any material typed appears in the formula bar
3. Select sheet; change name by highlighting (doubleclick) and typing new name

11. Basic Steps
1. To add a worksheet, go to Insert, click and choose Add Worksheet
2. To re-size a column or row, place cursor on the line extension; when the resize icon appears, click an drag to desired size.
Standard size for columns is 8.43 (64 pixels), for rows it is (17 pixels)

16. Mathematical Equations
Writing simple functions - Symbols for the four basic mathematical functions are:
1. Addition +
2. Subtraction -
3. Multiplication *
4. Division /

17. Writing Equations - Addition Example
Writing an addition equation - If you were to state the process for adding the numbers in column B it would be "six plus three." The equation could be written exactly like that (=6+3) and Excel would display the expected answer, 9. However that equation would be useless if the numbers in either B2 or B3 were changed. When writing your own equation, use cell addresses.
=B2+B3

18. Writing Equations - Example
Writing a percent equation for a column of numbers accompanied by a sum.

26. Using IF Arguments
Returns one value if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE and another value if it evaluates to FALSE.
Use IF to conduct conditional tests on values and formulas.
Example: “IF” it is stated that everyone who scores above 70 on a test has passed and you get an 80, then you have passed.

27. IF Function - Example Place Data on sheet
Select Function pull down arrow
Select the “IF” Function
Determine the function

28. IF Function - Example
Create a “logical test” for conditions which will set the parameters for the results of the formula
6. Set the values if the results of the test are true
7. Set the values if the results are false
8. Click OK
9. Extend the function to C4 and C5
