3. After launching MS Excel, a window with this application opens. An MS Excel file is called a workbook. Excel extensions:.xls – excel workbook, the standard format up to the 2003 version.xlsx – excel workbook, the standard format of the 2007, 2010 versions By default, Office 2003 cannot open files of later versions. Office 2003 users have to download the Compatibility Pack (link), which allows to open files of newer versions of MS Office.link

4. Each workbook consists of sheets. The standard number of sheets can be set in the options of the Excel application by selecting the option in „Include this many sheets“.

5. Size of a sheet: number of columns: 16 384 number of rows: 1 048 576 Inserting a sheet: There are several ways how to do it: 1.Click the button next to the last sheet 2.Use the Shift+F11 keyboard shortcut 3.Home tab – Insert menu – Insert Sheet Removing a sheet: Right click the given sheet - Delete

6. Renaming a sheet: Right click the given sheet - Rename Moving a sheet: Left click and drag the given sheet to the right place Changing the tab colour: Right click the given sheet and choose Tab color

7. Each sheet consists of cells. Each cell has its address – it is made by combining the row and column. Rows are labelled with numbers, columns with letters. The address of a cell is always displayed in the address bar.

8. Very often, it is needed to copy data in a column or row – e.g. the days of a week, months, dates, numbers etc. Example: we want to insert into one column the months from January to December Insert the first month into the first cell and then copy it into the remaining cells by dragging the bottom right corner of the cell The same procedure is used for the days of a week or dates. When it is needed to copy numbers, it is necessary to type in the first two numbers (so that Excel knows what change should take place) and then select both numbers which are then copied into the other cells just like in the previous example.

9. Sometimes it is needed to copy a list of data which cannot be found in the standard installation of Excel. In such a case it is possible to add a custom list. Procedure: 1. Type the list you want to create in a column or row 2. Excel application options – Edit custom lists. 3. Select the entered list – Import. After that, the custom list is inserted and it is possible to copy it.

10. 1. Create a new workbook and delete all sheets except for one and rename it to „task“. Change the tab colour to blue. 2. In the „task“ sheet, insert into columns A and B the days of a week (into A) and dates (into B) of the particular days of the current month.
