Components of MS Excel: Quick Access Bar

The Quick Access Toolbar is a customizable toolbar containing a


set of commands that are independent of the tab that is currently
displayed.
Components of MS Excel: Ribbon

It is placed at the top of the MS Excel Screen. Contains the


commands needed to complete a task. It is divided into logical
groups to execute various tasks. The groups are also divided
into different Excel tabs
Components of MS Excel: Cells

It is a small rectangular box where data are stored. The intersection of a


row and column is called a cell.
An Excel worksheet contains cells in horizontal arrangements ‘rows’ and
Vertical arrangements ‘columns’. Rows are labeled as numbers and columns
as alphabets.
A total of 1048576 rows are present and columns go up from A to XFD
How to identify cell addresses?

You can either find the cell


addresses inside the Name box.

The highlighted row and column


in the header is the cell number
when a cell is selected
Components of MS Excel: Active cell and Formula bar

The Formula Bar is where data or formulas you enter into a worksheet
appear for the active cell. The cell where an action is currently taking place
is called an active cell.
CW. Mention some basic USES of using Excel
Creating Charts and Graphs - You can create colorful charts and graphs from the data in
your worksheet. Excel will automatically update the chart to display any changes you
make in your data.

Formulas and functions - Excel allows you to perform calculations and analyze data.
Common calculations include: finding the sum, average or total number of items in a list
CW. Mention some basic USES of using Excel
Calendars and schedules: We can easily keep track of our works by creating calendars
and schedules using excel

People Management: Using Excel, information about any employee, students or product
can be stored and retrieved efficiently.

Project Management: Project plans can be placed into a workbook, which can then be
used to track progress and keep the project on schedule
HW. Mention some advantages of using Excel
Components of MS Excel: Worksheet
A worksheet (also known as a spreadsheet) consists of cells in which you
can enter and calculate data. A worksheet is always stored in a workbook.
A workbook can contain many worksheets.
Data in a Cell

A cell can contain data whose type can be


i. Number
ii. Text
iii.Formula
Data in a Cell: Numbers

❑ Contains digits from 0-9


❑ Allows + or – sign before
a number to indicate its
sign

Ex: -782, -35, 899


Data in a Cell: Text
❑ Consists of the
keyboard characters
❑ Such as alphabets,
digits and symbols

Ex: Dhaka, 125/3 Uttara


Road, ‘2008 Go to home tab-> Number group->
Select text
Data in a Cell: Formula
Contains the result of calculation
Starts with the symbol = or +
Lets perform addition in excel

Alternate formulas=
• =SUM(A1+A2)
• +A1+A2
• =SUM(A1:A2)
Mention what can be the probable formulas for adding all these following
numbers

=SUM(A1:D1)
Lets change from addition to multiplication, by replacing the (+) with a (*). It
should now be =A1*A2, press enter to see what happens

Now, try to change the multiplication (*) to subtraction (-) and dividing (/).
Type “=POWER” -> select the
formula prompt -> type in the
number-> insert comma ->
type in the power

For ex: =POWER(B8,C8)

Which means 4³
Calculating percentage in Excel

The formula to calculate a


percentage in Excel is
(part/total)*100.

Logic
Out of 240 laptops, 51 laptops sold.
Out of 1 laptop, 51/240 laptops sold

So, percentage: (51/240) * 100 = 0.2125 * 100


= 21.25%
Suppose, you have the products names in column A, number of "Ordered
items" in column B and "Delivered items" in column C. To find out the
percentage of delivered products, perform the following steps:

Enter the formula =C2/B2 in cell D2,


and copy it down to as many rows as
you need.
CW. Solve this on your own

300 =SUM(A2:C2) =E2/D2*100

You can simply use the formula =E2/D2 in the percentage column and press on the % tool
in the number group under home tab.
How to Apply Formula to an Entire Column in Excel

1. Type the formula in the first Place the cursor over the
cell small green square. You
will notice that the cursor
changes to a plus sign, also
called autofill handle
Double click the left mouse key

The above steps will


automatically fill up the entire
column by applying the required
formula
Examples

After selecting the data, drag as usual and click on the smart tag. Once we click on the
smart tag, a drop-down will come asking for the choice fill series, days, months, years
and weeks, etc.
3 ways of sorting data in excel

1. Sort A to Z - sorts the selected column in an


ascending order.
2. Sort Z to A - sorts the selected column in a
descending order.
3. Custom Sort - sorts data in multiple columns by
applying different sort criteria.
Sorting Alphabetically or Numerically
Select your data.
Go to home tab> Editing group> click
sort and filter
To do quick sorts, you will be using the
"AZ↓" and "AZ↑" buttons.
For example this is our data
Sorting with Multiple Criteria

• If you want to customize, select the option “Custom Sort”.

• The Sort dialog box will open, allowing you to create a custom sort with
multiple criteria.

• If your columns have headers in the first cell, such as “Students" and
“Percentage“ etc. make sure to check the "My data has headers" box in the
upper-left corner of the sort window.
Step 1
Step 2

The dialog box for custom sort will appear.

Under the column option, select the column you want to perform
the sort operation on.
Step 3 & 4

. In the ‘Sort On’ list, you


can sort by Values, Cell
Color, Font Color, or Cell
Icon.

Finally, we select the


order.
HW. How will you perform sorting on a specific column based
on cell color?
Filtering data in excel

Excel has a filtering feature


used to show just what you
want to see and hide the
rest of the data
AutoFilter

Click on the required cell reference (The header). Now, click on Data Tab>
Sort & filter group> filter.

AutoFilter arrow will appear on all the columns of data in that row
Now, using any of these arrows,
you can apply filter to that field.

Example: If you want to see the


students who scored 93%, click
the arrow on the percentage
column. Check the box for 93%
Custom Filter

1. Apply the filter as done


before
2. Click the arrow in the
‘Percentage’ column, go to
Number Filters and click
on Custom Filter
Custom Filter

3. Custom AutoFilter dialog box appears. Let us see those student whose
percentage are more than 75%, and less than or equal to 85%.

Select the criteria according to the requirement in the Custom AutoFilter dialog
box and press the OK button.
CW. Write the advantage of using data filter

1. The data Filter in Excel option helps out in many ways to filter the data
based on text, value, numeric, or date value.

2. The Data Filter option is very helpful for sorting out data with simple drop-
down menus.

3. The Data Filter option is significant to temporarily hide a few data sets in a
table so that you can focus on the relevant data we need to work on.

4. Besides multiple filtering options, auto-filter criteria provide the Sort


options relevant to a given column.
HW. Why and how to use the option “Custom Filter” in excel?
Displaying the data using charts

Select the columns of your


choice.
Here we chose the students
and percent columns

On the Insert Tab, Go to chart


group and select the required
chart type
Pie chart
