Spreadsheet Macros and Functions Quiz

A macro is a set of instructions that automate a task within a spreadsheet application, such as Excel or Calc. It's like a mini-program that simplifies repetitive actions.

A macro in Calc can be used to create a function that calculates values based on input parameters. This function can then be used in other parts of your sheet to perform the same calculation.

To create a macro in Calc, you'll first need to define a function within the 'Calculate files' macro library. This function will contain the instructions for your macro.

When creating a macro function in Calc, you'll define variables (a, b, c, d) that represent the input parameters your function will use. These variables will hold the values you provide when calling the function.

A workbook in a spreadsheet application is a file that contains multiple sheets. These sheets can be linked to each other, allowing data to be shared between them.

You can link a cell in one sheet to a cell in another sheet within the same workbook. This allows you to display the data from the linked cell on both sheets.

Linking data between two sheets in a workbook typically starts with an equal sign (=) followed by the reference to the cell you want to link. This reference includes the sheet name, a dot (.), and the cell address.

To link cells between two sheets in different workbooks, you'll need to specify the full file path of the workbook containing the cell you want to link. This path is enclosed in single quotes (') and includes the protocol (file:///) and the file extension.
