The corresponding column heading ‘A’ and row heading ‘1’ are highlighted to indicate the active cell. *Note: Right-click on a column heading or a row heading to view available options such as Cut, Copy, Paste, Insert, Delete, Format Cells, Column Width, Hide/Unhide, etc. 4 Identify Rows and Columns:  Columns – Alphabets  Rows – Numbers *Note: Identify cell address (or cell reference) by Column letter, then by Row number. The cell reference is displayed in the upper left corner of the work-sheet.

5.  Select column(s), row(s), or cell(s)  Right-click your selection and click on Format Cells…  View and select from available options  Number  Alignment  Font  Border  Fill  Protection 5

6. Rename a Worksheet:  Double-click to rename it or  Right-click and select ‘Rename’ 6

7. How to Enter Data:  Date – Use forward slash ( / )or hyphen ( - ); stored as serial number  Time – Use ‘a’ or ‘p’ to designate AM or PM, respectively  Monetary – Use dollar sign ( $ )  Fraction – Enter a zero ( 0 ) and space before fraction  Fraction – Enter space between whole number and fraction  Parentheses and Numbers – Indicates a negative number Example: (100) equals -100 7

8. AutoComplete: If the first few letters you type in a cell match an entry you’ve already made in that column, Excel will fill in the remaining characters for you. Just press ENTER when you see them added. AutoComplete works for text or text with numbers. It does not work for numbers only (dates or times). 8

9. AutoFill: Type one or more entries in an intended series, and then extend the series. With AutoFill, you can quickly enter data in a series. Extend the series by clicking and dragging the Fill Handle (tiny box in bottom right corner of active cell) to populate the data in column or row. 9

12. 12 Mathematical Operators:  Addition – plus sign ( + )  Subtraction – minus sign ( - )  Multiplication – asterisk ( * )  Division – forward slash ( / )  Exponentiation – caret ( ^ ) Order of Operations (BEDMAS):  Brackets  Exponentiation  Division  Multiplication  Addition  Subtraction

13. Enter Formula in Cell: 1. Enter equal sign ( = ) 2. Enter number 3. Enter operator ( + - * / ^ ) 4. Enter another number 5. Repeat Steps 2-4 for complex mathematical equations 6. Press Enter or Tab key Example 1: = (1 + 4) × 2 + 12 ÷ 3 – 4 Example 2: = 5 × 2 + 12 ÷ 3 – 4 13

14. Option 1: 1. Select pre-written function a) Click Formulas tab b) Click Insert Function or AutoSum 2. Click cell reference *Note: Hold Ctrl key to select more cell reference(s) 3. Press Enter or Tab key Example: = SUM(A1:A5) / 2 Option 2: 1. Enter equal sign ( = ) 2. Click cell reference 3. Enter operator ( + - * / ^ ) 4. Click cell reference 5. Repeat Steps 2-4 for complex mathematical equations 6. Press Enter or Tab key Example 1: = (A1 + B2)× C3 + D4 ÷ E5 – F6 14

15. Helpful Hints:  Example of a series  A1:A5 (This selects Column A, Rows 1-5)  A1:E1 (This selects Row 1, Columns A-E)  A1:E5 (This selects Columns A-E, Rows 1-5)  Hold Ctrl key to select two or more cell reference(s)  Use cell reference(s) instead of an “absolute” value  Enter formulas manually versus pre-written functions  Comma-Separated-Value(s) for pre-written functions  Mathematical Operators for formulas entered manually  Dollar sign ( $ ) in front of alpha/numeric character or both makes the column/row or both an “absolute” value.  $A$1 (Absolute cell reference)  $A1 (Absolute column reference)  A$1 (Absolute row reference) 15 Pre-written Formulas

16. 1. #### – The column isn’t wide enough to display the contents of the cell. To fix the problem, you can increase column width, shrink the contents to fit the column, or apply a different number format. 2. #REF! – A cell reference isn’t valid. Cells may have been deleted or pasted over. 3. #NAME? – You may have misspelled a function name or used a name that Excel doesn’t recognize. 16
