Study Notes
Introduction to Spreadsheets
- A spreadsheet is an electronic file used to organize related data and perform calculations
- If data is altered, formulas automatically recalculate results
Exploring the Excel Window
- A worksheet is a single spreadsheet containing formulas, values, text, and visual aids
- A workbook is a file containing related worksheets
- A worksheet is a grid of columns and rows for data
- A cell is the intersection of a row and column
- A cell address names a cell (e.g., A1)
- Worksheet rows lie horizontally, numbered from 1 to 1,048,576
- Worksheet columns lie vertically, labeled from A to Z, then AA, AB, etc.
Planning Structure of Worksheets
- State the worksheet's purpose
- Determine needed input values (input area)
- Determine needed output values (output area)
- Assign inputs and results to rows and columns
Entering Text
- Text is any combination of letters, numbers, symbols, and spaces
- Text entries are left-aligned by default
- Multiple lines can be entered in one cell by pressing ALT+Enter
Entering Values
- Values and dates can be calculated
- Values can be entered using common formats (e.g., dates, currency)
- Numeric entries are right-aligned by default
Entering Formulas
- Formulas combine cell addresses, math operations (e.g., +,-,*, /), values, and functions
- A formula begins with an equal sign (=)
- Examples include =A1+A2, =C2*5
- The result of a formula is displayed in the cell
- Formulas recalculate automatically when data changes
Mathematical Symbols
- Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*), Division (/), Exponentiation (^)
- Excel uses these symbols in formulas
Cell References in Formulas
- It's better to use cell addresses in formulas instead of actual values
- If data changes, formulas recalculate automatically
Order of Precedence
- Order of operations controls the sequence of calculations
- Parentheses, Exponentiation, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction
- Multiple operators of the same precedence are evaluated from left to right
Insert and Delete a Worksheet
- Insert a worksheet to add a new one
- Delete a worksheet when data is no longer needed
Moving or Copying Worksheets
- Move a worksheet to change its order among sheet tabs
- Copy a worksheet to create a duplicate sheet in a new location
Adjusting Column Width
- Column width is the horizontal measurement
- Adjust by dragging the border or using autofit
- If text wraps, the column may become too narrow
Adjusting Row Height
- Row height is the vertical measurement
- Adjust by dragging the border or using autofit
- Adjust if multi-lines or larger font size is required
Hiding Columns and Rows
- Hiding a column or row prevents it from being displayed or printed
- Use the Format command to hide or unhide the selected range
Selecting a Cell Range
- A range is a group of adjacent cells
- Select ranges using drag (adjacent) or Ctrl-select (nonadjacent)
- Group formatting, moving, copying
Merge and Center Labels
- Merges multiple cells into one, centering the content
Numeric Formats
- Excel offers various formats for numbers (e.g., general, number, currency)
- Formats can control decimal places; negative labels
Headers and Footers
- Headers appear at the top of printed pages
- Footers appear at the bottom of printed pages
