BASIC FEATURES OF
MICROSOFT EXCEL
• A worksheet consists of Rows and
Columns.
• Rows are identified by the numbers on the
left side of the worksheet.
• Columns are identified by letters at the top
of the worksheet.
• The intersection of a row and a column is
called a CELL.

81
Columns, rows, and cells
The alphabetical headings on
the columns and the numerical
headings on the rows tell you
where you are in a worksheet
when you click a cell.

Column and row


The headings combine to form
headings the cell address, also called the
cell reference. There are
16,777,216 cells to work in on
each worksheet. You could get
lost without the cell reference
to tell you where you are.
CELL REFERENCES
• Every cell in a spreadsheet has a unique
reference or address.
• The cell reference or address is specified
by stating its column letter and row
number, e.g. A1, B25, R54.
• The name of the current cell is displayed
in the NAME BOX.
CURRENT CELL
• A rectangular box that moves from one cell
to another in a worksheet is called a CELL
POINTER.
• The cell where the Cell Pointer is at any
time is called the CURRENT CELL.
• In a worksheet, data is always entered in
the current cell.
FORMULA BAR
• The FORMULA BAR is located just above
the columns header row.
• The Formula Bar displays data entered in
the current cell.
• The Formula Bar is also used to edit data

to take the cell pointer to the required cell.
TYPES OF WORKSHEET DATA
• You can enter three types of data in a
worksheet.
• The three types of worksheet data are:
– Labels
– Values
– Formulas
LABELS
• Labels are used to give meaning to values
in a worksheet.
• An entry such as 67% does not make
sense unless we attach a label to state
what it means.
• Any data entry which contains an alphabet
character is a label.
• Labels are aligned left in cells, e.g.

TVTC
VALUES
• Any numeric data entered in a cell is
called a value.
• Values are aligned right in cells, e.g.

200
FORMULAS
• Formulas are used to calculate values.
• A formula is entered starting with the
EQUALS (=) sign.
• If the equals sign is not used, Microsoft
Excel looks at the entry as a label.
• Example of a formula is =A3-A4 or
=(A5-C8)/23.
ENTERING DATA IN CELLS
• Select the cell in which you want to enter
the data.
• Type in the data.
• Press Enter or move to another cell using
one of the arrow keys.
• At the end of the row, press ENTER to
move to the beginning of the next row.
ENTERING DATA INTO SEVERAL
CELLS AT ONCE
• Select the cells where you want to enter
data. The cells do not have to be adjacent.
• Type the data and press CTRL+ENTER.
FILLING IN A SERIES OF DATA
• Select the first cell in the range you want to fill.
• Enter the starting value for the series.
• Enter a value in the next cell to establish a
pattern.
• Select the cell or cells that contain the starting
values.
• Drag the fill handle over the range you want to
fill.
• To fill in increasing order, drag down or to the
right.
• To fill in decreasing order, drag up or to the left.
CHANGING COLUMN WIDTH
AND ROW HEIGHT
• Drag the boundary on the right side of the
column heading until the column is the width you
want.
• For multiple columns, select the columns you
want to change, and then drag a boundary to
the right of a selected column heading.
• To fit the contents in a cell, double-click the
boundary to the right of the column heading.
CHANGING COLUMN WIDTH
AND ROW HEIGHT
• To resize a row height, drag the boundary
below the row heading until the row is the
height you want.
• To resize multiple rows, select the rows
you want to change, and drag a boundary
below a selected row heading.
• To fit the contents in a cell, double-click
the boundary below the row heading.
Insert a column or a row
As the animation shows, Excel gives
a new column or row the heading its
place requires, and changes the
headings of later columns and rows.

You can easily insert


new columns and
rows.

USING FORMULAS
• Formulas are equations that perform
calculations on values in your worksheet.
• A formula starts with an equal sign (=).
• For example, the following formula
multiplies 5 by 6 and then adds 20 to the
result.
• =20+5*6
USING FORMULAS
• To use a formula do the
following:
• Click the cell in which you want
to enter the formula.
• Type = (an equal sign).
• Enter the formula.
• Press ENTER.
USING FORMULAS
• Worksheets usually contain massive amounts of
related data.
• For example, a business may create a worksheet with
the following details:
1. Names of products purchased.
2. Cost price of products purchased.
3. Quantity of products purchased.
4. Cost of all products.
5. Selling price of products.
6. Revenue gained by selling all products.
7. Profit gained from the products.
USING FORMULAS
• Simple formulas have disadvantages.
• This is because they have to be entered
many times to calculate different values.
• Formulas based on the cell references are
better.
• For example, if 20 is in cell A1, 5 in cell B1
and 6 in cell C1, it is better to enter a
formula as =A1+B1*C1 instead of =20+5*6
in cell D1.
USING FORMULAS
• The advantage of using formulas that
contain references is that if you change a
value in one cell, changes are
automatically effected in all formulas that
contain the affected cell.
EXERCISE
• Enter 20 in cell A1, 5 in cell B1 and 6 in
cell C1.
• Click in cell D1.
• Type the simple formula: = 20+5*6 and
press ENTER.
• Click in cell E1.
• Type the formula: =A1+B1*C1 and press
ENTER.
• Click in cell B1, type 7 and press ENTER.
• Compare the effects of the two formulas.
AUTOMATING CALCULATIONS
• Enter the following data in a worksheet.

• Calculate the amount for each product.


• Calculate the TOTAL amount for all products.
AUTOMATING CALCULATIONS
• Instead of repeating the calculation for the
AMOUNT for every product, do the following:
1. Click in cell D2 and enter the formula =B2*C2.
2. Click in cell D2 again.
3. Place the mouse pointer on the Fill Handle at
the bottom right corner of the Cell Pointer.
4. Drag down to cell D6 and release the mouse
button.
5. Click in cell D7 and enter the formula:
=Sum(D2:D6) to calculate the TOTAL amount.
SORTING DATA
• Sorting data means presenting data so
that it has either an ascending or a
descending order.
• To sort data, do the following:
• Highlight the range of cells to sort (include
the row headings).
• Click the Data menu.
• Select the required sort order.
• Click OK.
TOTALS AND SUBTOTALS
• Suppose that you order various products
for re-sale in your shop in a particular
week or month.
• At the end of the period you may want to
find the following information:
1. The amount of money spent on each
type of product.
2. The total amount of money spent on all
the products.
TOTALS AND SUBTOTALS
