Study Notes
Formulas
-
Arithmetic Operators:
-
+(addition) -
-(subtraction) -
*(multiplication) -
/(division) -
^(exponentiation)
-
-
Functions:
-
SUM(range): returns the sum of a range of cells -
AVERAGE(range): returns the average of a range of cells -
COUNT(range): returns the count of cells in a range that contain numbers -
IF(logical_test, [value_if_true], [value_if_false]): tests a condition and returns one value if true and another value if false
-
-
Cell References:
- Relative References: changes when copied to another cell
-
Absolute References: does not change when copied to another cell (use
$symbol)
-
Error Handling:
-
#N/A(not available): when a value is not available -
#VALUE!: when a function or formula is incorrect -
#REF!: when a reference is invalid -
#DIV/0!: when dividing by zero -
#NUM!: when a number is invalid
-
Macros
-
What are Macros?:
- A set of automated commands that can be triggered by a button, shortcut, or event
- Can perform repetitive tasks, automate workflows, and create custom tools
-
Recording Macros:
- Use the Record Macro button to capture a sequence of actions
- Stop Recording to save the macro
-
Editing Macros:
- Use the Visual Basic Editor to view and edit macro code
- Can modify, delete, or add code to macros
-
Security:
- Macros can pose a security risk if not used carefully
- Be cautious when running macros from unknown sources
Data Analysis
-
Data Tools:
- Remove Duplicates: removes duplicate rows in a dataset
- Text to Columns: converts text into columns
- Remove Blank Rows: removes blank rows in a dataset
-
Data Validation:
- Data Validation Rules: restricts input data to specific formats or values
- Error Alerts: displays an error message when invalid data is entered
-
PivotTables:
- Create a PivotTable: summarizes and analyzes large datasets
- Fields: drag and drop fields to create a PivotTable
- Filters: narrow down data to specific criteria
-
Charts and Graphs:
- Insert Chart: creates a chart or graph from a dataset
- Chart Types: column, line, pie, bar, and more
- Customizing Charts: modify chart elements, such as titles and labels
