    Lesson 4: Advanced Spreadsheet Skills

    • Objectives:
      • Learn common MS Excel functions.
      • Understand different formulas, text, and values.
      • Master data entry, complex formulas, and computations.

    What is MS Excel?

    • An automated tool for displaying statistical data.
    • Useful for complex calculations with large datasets.
    • Includes arithmetic and basic functions for faster computation.

    Advanced Spreadsheet Skills

    • Column: Vertical line of entries in a table.
    • Column Heading: Box at the top of each column, containing a letter.
    • Row: Horizontal line of entries in a table.
    • Row Heading: Row number.
    • Cell: Location where data is held within the spreadsheet.
    • Active Cell: The currently selected cell.
    • Cell Reference: The cell address (e.g., A1, B4).
    • Merge: Combining or joining two or more cells.

    Worksheet Structure

    • Maximum rows: 1,048,576
    • Maximum columns: 16,384 (or XFD)

    Functions

    • Predefined formulas are part of Excel.
    • Formula Bar: Displays cell content.

    Basic Math Operations

    • Addition: =C1+C2 (sums C1 and C2)
    • Subtraction: =C1-C2 (subtracts C2 from C1)
    • Multiplication: =C1*C2 (multiplies C1 and C2)
    • Division: =C1/C2 (divides C1 by C2)
    • SUM(range): Sums all numbers in a range.
      • Example: =SUM(C1:C5) (sums cells C1 through C5)
    • PRODUCT(range): Multiplies all numbers in a range.

    Other Functions

    • ABS(x): Absolute value of a number.
    • AVERAGE(x,y): Average of two numbers.
