    The document provides information on spreadsheet basics including defining key terms like spreadsheet, column, row, cell, and cell address. It explains that spreadsheets are used to organize and analyze information using a grid of columns and rows which intersect to form cells that have unique addresses. It also defines other spreadsheet concepts like the entry bar, active cell, formatting, alignment, cell ranges, and column widths.

    Spreadsheets

    Spreadsheet Basics
    Words to Know: Spreadsheet Column Row Cell Cell Address

    Used to organize and analyze information Made up of columns and rows Columns and rows intersect to form cells Column letter plus row number makes cell address

    Spreadsheet Basics
    Words to Know:
    Column A

    Spreadsheet Column Row Cell Cell Address


    Column B Column C

    Row 1 Row 2 Row 3

    A7

    B4

    C10

    D5

    Cells with addresses

    Spreadsheet Basics
    Words to Know:
    Entry Bar: Area where the text, number, or formula in the active cell is displayed. Also called the Formula Bar

    Entry Bar Active Cell Format Alignment

    Active Cell: Cell in use, address shown beside formula bar Format: A change in the appearance of a value or label in a cell. In this example, cell A1 is bold. Cell D7 is formatted to display as a percentage.

    Alignment: The placement of information within a cell at the left edge, right edge, or centered. In this example, the cells in column A are centered. The cells in column B are right aligned.

    Spreadsheet Basics
    Words to Know: Cell range Column width
    Column Heading

    Cell Range: A continuous group of selected cells. This range includes cells A1 through D10.

    Row Heading

    Column Width: Column widths may be varied to display data correctly.

    Tip:
    To select an entire column or row, click on the column or row heading.

    Spreadsheet Formulas
    A combination of values or cell references and mathematical operators Mathematical Operators: + - * / Formulas begin with an equal sign The actual formula displays in the entry bar The results of the formula display in the cell

    Spreadsheet Formulas
    Words to Know:
    Formula: Combination of values or cell references and mathematical operators such as +, -, /, *

    Formula Mathematical Operators

    The formula displays in the entry bar. This formula is used to add the values in the four cells. The sum is displayed in cell B7.

    The results of a formula display in the cell.

    Spreadsheet Formulas
    Examples of formulas:
    Add cells B4, C4, D4, and E4: =B4+C4+D4+E4
    Subtract cell F10 from cell F9: =F9-F10 Multiply cells A3 and A4: =A3*A4 Divide cell D5 by cell D6 =D5/D6

    Always use cell references instead of values in your formulas! That way, when the values change the formulas gets updated.

    Spreadsheet Functions
    Functions are built-in shortcuts for making calculations with a range of cells:
    Most common is SUM (used to add cells) AUTOSUM button adds in one step

    AVERAGE function finds the average by adding the numbers and dividing by the number of items
    MIN function finds the minimum value in a range

    MAX function finds the maximum value in a range

    Spreadsheet Functions
    Some Sample Functions
    Add together cells B3 through B7
    =SUM(B3:B7)

    Find the average of cells D4 through D8


    =AVERAGE(D4:D8)

    Find the minimum value in the cell range E43:E52


    =MIN(E43:E52)

    Find the maximum value in the cell range E43:E52


    =MAX(E43:E52)

    AVERAGE Function
    There are three ways to find the average of the cell range A1:A5:
    =AVERAGE(A1:A5) =(A1+A2+A3+A4+A5)/5

    =SUM(A1:A5)/5

    The MEDIAN Function


    =MEDIAN(A1:A5)

    The MEDIAN average is the number found in the middle of a sorted list:
    $40,000 $63,000 $74,000 $85,000 $98,000
    The median is $74,000 because it is in the middle of the list.

    The median is $140,000: the mean average of the two center numbers. ($120,000+$160,000)/2=$140,000

    $100,000 $110,000 $120,000 $160,000 $220,000 $240,000

    Functions In Action
    The SUM function is used to find the total of cells C3, C4, C5 and C6.

    The same calculation could be done using a mathematical operator: =C3+C4+C5+C6
