 Electronic Spreadsheet Class 9 Notes
Spreadsheet application is tool which is used to perform all kinds of calculations easily and
accurately. LibreOffice Calc is used to perform the following activities accurately and
efficiently.

• Tabulation of data
• Simple mathematical calculations
• Complex calculations using formula and functions
• Arranging data in ascending and descending order (sorting)
• Filtering the required data
• Check the validity of data
• Protection of data using passwords
• Saving for future use

Getting Started with Libreoffice Calc

Spreadsheet apps come in many different forms and are created by different software
companies. The spreadsheet programme in the LibreOffice suite is called LibreOffice Calc.

Starting LibreOffice Calc

To start the LibreOffice Calc in Windows
In Windows, find the shortcut of LibreOffice on Start menu or on the desktop. Double click
the shortcut to open LibreOffice.

To start LibreOffice Calc in Linux

In Ubuntu Linux, find the Calc icon on application launcher or search it by clicking on “Show
Applications”

Brief explanation about the parts of LibreOffice Calc

Title bar – The Title bar, located at the top, shows the name of the current spreadsheet.

Menu bar – Menu bar is located just below the Title bar. It contains the menus with
commands for various tasks. for example File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Style etc.

Toolbars – The Calc opens with the Standard and Formatting toolbars at the top of the
workspace by default. There is three different type of toolbars available in Calc. Standard
toolbar, Formatting toolbar, Formula toolbar

Worksheet – The worksheet in Calc is also referred to as spreadsheet. The spreadsheet

can have many sheets. Each sheet can have many individual cells arranged in rows and

124 / 153
columns. The sheet tab shows its default
name as Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, ….

Rows and columns – The sheet is divided into vertical columns and horizontal rows. Each
sheet can have
a maximum of 1,048,576 (220) rows and 1024 (210) columns.

Cell and cell address – The intersection of a row and column is called a cell. It is the basic
element of a spreadsheet. It holds data, such as text, numbers, formulas and so on. A cell
address is denoted by its column (letter) and row number. For example, D4, E9, Z89 are
the valid example of cell address.

Active cell – In a spreadsheet, cell is the place where we enter the data. Before entering
any data in the cell, it has to be first selected by placing a cursor on it. When we position
the mouse cursor on a cell, it gets selected, and is ready to take data from the user. This
selected or activated cell is called as active cell.

Key or Result of Key or Combination

Key Combination
Arrow keys (←↑→↓) Move a single cell in arrow direction

Ctrl + Arrow Keys Moves the cell to the end of the data range in a particular direction

Home Moves to column A along the row where the active cell is

Ctrl + Home Moves the cell to A1 position

Ctrl + End Moves to bottom right cell of the data range

Page Up Moves the worksheet one screen up

Page Down Moves the worksheet one screen down

Range of cells – A block of adjacent cells in a worksheet which is highlighted or selected is

called a range of cells. Observe the worksheets below.

Entering data
It is necessary to select the cell in a spreadsheet before entering any data, practically in the
cell. The pointer can be placed inside a cell to select that cell. The label, values, or formula
can be the data that has to be entered.
Label – Label is the any text entered by using a keyboard. It may combine with letters,
numbers, and special symbols.
Values – The numerical data consisting of only numbers are called values. By default
values are right aligned. There are various forms of values, such as integer, decimal and so
on.
Formulae – Any expressions that begins with an equals ‘=’ is treated as formula. In the
expression, the ‘=’ followed by values, cell address and functions are called as formula.

125 / 153
 Mathematical operators used in formulae
Calc can add, subtract, divide, multiply and much more. LibreOffice Calc uses standard
operators for formulae, such as a plus(+), minus(-), multiplication (*), a division (/) for
arithmetic operation.

Note: The order of evaluation can be changed by using brackets. (The expressions within
the brackets are evaluated first).

Mathematical Operators Operator precedence

+ addition First ( )

– subtraction Second ^

* multiplication Third /, *

/ division Fourth + , –

^ exponentiation (power

Formulae with cell addresses and operators

The formula’s outputs are updated in line with any changes to the values of the affected
cells. Consider adding the numbers in cells A1 and A2 to obtain the sum in cell A3. The
right addition will appear in cell A3 if the pointer is placed there and the values are simply
added as =5+8. However, if we modify the numbers in cells A1 and A2 to 6 and 7,
respectively, we must once more enter the addition in cell A3 by writing =6+7. However, if
we enter the general equation in cell A3 as =A1+A2,Use of functions to do calculations

Function Syntax Use

SUM =SUM(Number1,Number2,…..) Adds the values contained in a range of cells.

AVERAGE =AVERAGE(Number1,Number2,….) Finds out the average of the values contained in a range of cell

MAX =MAX(Number1,Number2,……) Finds out the largest value contained in a range of cells.

MIN =MIN(Number1,Number2,……) Finds out the smallest value contained in a range of cells.

COUNT =COUNT(Number1,Number2,…..) Counts the number of cells within a range of cells.

126 / 153
Sum Function
Formula Meaning

=SUM (A1,B1,C1) The sum of cells A1,B1 and C1

=SUM(A1:C1) The sum of cells in the range of cells from A1 to C1

=SUM(A1:C1,B2) The sum of cells in the range of cells from A1 to C1 and B2

=SUM(B1:C2) The sum of cells in the range of cells from B1 to C2

=SUM(A1:A3,C1:C3) The sum of cells in the range of cells from A1 to A3 and C1 to C3

Average Function
Formula Meaning

=AVERAGE (A1,B1,C1) The average of cells A1, B1 and C1

=AVERAGE (A1:C1) The average of cells in the range of cells from A1 to C1

=AVERAGE (A1:C1,B2) The average of cells in the range of cells from A1 to C1 and B2

=AVERAGE (B1:C2) The average of cells in the range of cells from B1 to C2

=AVERAGE (A1:A3,C1:C3) The average of cells in the range of cells from A1 to A3 and C1to C3

MAX Function, Min Function work in the same manner.

Count Function

Formula Details
=COUNT(A1,B1) Counts the number of cells that contain numbers among cells A1, B1

=COUNT(A1:C1) Counts the number of cells that contain numbers in the range of cells from A1 to C1

=COUNT(A1:A4) Counts the number of cells that contain numbers in the range of cells from A1 to A4

=COUNT(A1:C1,B2) Counts the number of cells that contain numbers in the range of cells from A1 to C1 and B2

=COUNT(B1:C3) Counts the number of cells that contain numbers in the range of cells from B1 to C3

=COUNT(A1:A3,C1:C3) Counts the number of cells that contain numbers in the range of cells from A1 to A3 and the range of cells from
C1 to C3

Using the fill handle

The Calc Fill Handle tool is used to fill the subsequent cells with the subsequent predefined
value till you drag it. For instance, to fill in the numbers 1, 2, 3, or the days of the week
Monday, Tuesday,…., or the name of the month Jan, Feb,…., enter the first two values,
select them, then drag them to the following cells until you want to continue the series in
succession.

For number series – Type the numbers 1, 2 in two consecutive cells and select them
using a mouse.

Copying a formula – If you wish to apply the same formula to the number of cells in the
rows or columns, you need not enter the formula again and again in each cell. A formula
can be copied.

Referencing
Referencing is the way to refer the formula or function from one cell to the next cell along
the row or column.
There are three types of referencing.
• Relative referencing
• Mixed referencing
• Absolute referencing

Relative Referencing Any formula that is moved in any row or column in any direction
copies itself into the new cell with the appropriate reference. Nearly all spreadsheet
programmes by default employ relative referencing.

Mixed Referencing The $ symbol is used in Mixed Referencing to make a row number or
column name constant. In Mixed Reference makes either the column or the row constant.
When a column or row is made constant, the column name or row number do not change
when the formula is copied to another cell (s).

Absolute Referencing When using absolute referencing, the column name and row
number are made constant in all formulas by using the $ sign before them. As an
illustration, C$12, D$5, etc. In this instance, the cell name does not change address of
which direction you drag your formula. In upper classes, this kind of referring is employed.

Creation of Charts Using Spreadsheets
When data is represented as numbers, it is difficult to grasp, compare, analyse, or convey
the data. However, statistics are more effectively communicated when it is shown as a
chart. Let’s examine the use of spreadsheet programmes in this context.
The many chart kinds are listed below.

Types Purpose

Column Chart Comparing classes of data items in group. Group comparison

Bar Chart Comparing classes of data items in group. Group comparison

Line Chart Comparing classes of data items in group. Group comparison

Pie Chart Comparing classes of data items as percentage.

XY Scatter Chart Comparing data in pairs

Let us use the worksheet below to create a column chart

• Follow the steps given below to create charts.
• Select the range of data (A1:F7)
• Insert → Chart
• Select the type of chart

 Digital Presentation Class 9 Notes
To effectively convey knowledge to an audience, you must possess presentation.
Presenting effectively is a highly sought-after ability in practically every industry today.
Using a computer-generated presentation has a variety of benefits.

A presentation includes
• Regular text
• Lists items
• Table
• Graphics elements
• Sound and Video
• Animation

Characteristics of a good quality presentation

Number of lines – Try to fit 5 to 8 lines on a single page or slide. A paragraph or more of
lines may require extra time to read since the font size may get too small.

Font-size – You must consider the audience’s distance from the screen and the size of the
room while planning your presentation. In light of this, the font size of the presentation’s
texts may be chosen.

Correct use of grammar and language – Your presentation’s syntax and terminology
should be accurate since if you make a mistake, it will be repeated by the audience as a
whole.

Inserting images, drawings, tables or graphs – Aim to keep each slide to no more than
two graphics (pictures, illustrations, tables, or charts). If you include too many graphics,
your audience will become confused.

Use of colours – Use different fonts, bold characters, and dark colours to draw attention to
particular areas. Use dark colours for typefaces and light or silent backgrounds. Pay close
attention to how the colours in the foreground and backdrop contrast.

Animation and videos – A slide should not contain more than one animation or video. The
audience can become confused if more than one is used since the sounds will overlap.

Pay attention to target group – Pay close attention to the needs of the intended audience
when crafting the presentation. Concentrate on the substance and arrange the items in a
logical order that will draw the audience’s attention away from the goals.
