EXCEL
INTRODUCTION

 Microsoft Excel is allow you to create

professional spreadsheets and charts. It
is quite useful in entering, editing,
analysis and storing of data.
 It performs numerous functions and
formulas to assist you in your projects.
 MS-EXCEL is the replacement of
calculator, pencil work. You can create
charts with colors, add clip arts in excel .
 A new workbook contains 256 worksheets.
The worksheet is a grid of COLUMNS and
ROWS.
 The intersection of a column and a row is
called a CELL.
 Each cell on the spreadsheet has a CELL
ADDRESS that is the column letter and the
row number.
FEATURES:
 Data entry using keyboard
 Worksheet can be saved and retrieved for further editing
 Various formatting options can be used to format the data
stored in the cells
 Allows mathematical calculations
 Automatic recalculation is done when previous entries are
changed
 Results calculated are reliable
 You can import and export data from one worksheet to
another
 The scenario option avaliable helps us to answer “what if”
questions
 STARTING MICROSOFT

alignment, and borders.
 TOOLS:- lists tools such as the spell checker and
macros.
 HELP:- get help on using the excel program
3.THE FORMULA BAR:- If the formula bar is turned on, the cell
address displays on the left side of the formula bar. Cell entries
display on the right side of the formula bar.
4. STANDARD TOOLBAR

 Toolbar is a collection of tools or icons

displayed in a long bar that can move or
reshaped to make it convinent to use.
 Each icon in a toolbar correspond to a
command
5. FORMATTING TOOLBAR:

 Here various formatting options are avaliable.

6. Status bar:
 displays the name of the command at the left
hand side of status bar. It gives status
operations in program.
7.WORKSHEET TABS :- You can keep multiple worksheets together in a
group called a workbook. For example you could have a separate
worksheet for each month of the year in a workbook for the year 2010.
You can give worksheets your own meaningful names by placing your
cursor over the sheet name and typing. By default, excel opens with three
worksheets.
HORIZONTAL SCROLLBAR
VERTICAL SCROLLBAR
 Using horizontal and vertical scroll bar you can
move(up or down) and (left or right)
respectively.
 ENTERING TEXT

CELLS:- The workbook is made up of cells. There is a cell at the

intersection of each row and column. A cell can contain a value, a formula,
or a text entry. A text entry is used to label or explain the contents or the
value of a formula.

ROWS, COLUMNS AND SHEETS:- The Excel worksheet contains 16,384

rows that extend down the worksheet, numbered 1 through 16384.
The Excel worksheet contains 256 columns that extend across the
worksheet , lettered A through Z, AA through AZ, BA through BZ, and
continuing to IA through IZ.

The Excel worksheet can contain as many as 256 sheets, labeled sheet1
through sheet256.The initial number of sheet in a workbook, which can
be changed by the user is 16.
 INSERTING CELLS :
WHEN YOU CREATE A WORKSHEET THE NEED TO MOVE THE CELLS
OCCURRED FREQUENTLY. THAT IS INSERTING CELLS, DELETING CELLS.

 INSERTING A COLUMN:
The following are the various steps to insert column in the
worksheet:
1. Select the range of cells in your worksheet.
2. Right click the mouse a shortcut menu appears OR you can also
select cells option from INSERT menu.
3. Select Insert dialog box shortcut menu.
4. Four options appeared.
a) Insert Cell.
b)Insert Sheet Rows
c)Insert Sheet Columns
d)Insert Sheet
5. Selected cells will be free and now you can type the data onto
cells.
 INSERTTING A ROW : Inserting rows meansinserting row
somewhere in the worksheet. The following are the
steps to insert row:
1. Click the header of a row in your worksheet.
2. Right click the mouse a shortcut menu appears.
3. Select Insert dialog box a new blank row appears
on selected row.
4. When click insert dialog box anew blank row
appears on selected row.
5. You can now type the data in that row.
DELETING CELLS:
DELETING ROW OR COLUMN MEANS YOU WANT TO DELETE ROW OR
COLUMN FROM WORKSHEET.
THE STEPS TO DELETE ROW OR COLUMN ARE SAME AS UNDER:
 DELETING A ROW OR COLUMN:
1. Click the header of a row in your worksheet.
2. Right click the mouse a shortcut menu appears.
3. Select delete dialog box from shortcut menu.
4. Five options appeared:
5. AFTER CLICKING DELETE BOX THE SELECTED ROWS GETS DELETED FROM
WORKSHEET.

 DELETING A CELL ENTRY:

To delete an entry in a cell or a group of cells, you place

the cursor in the
cell or highlight the group of cells and press DELETE.

1.Place the cursor in cell A5.

2. Press the Delete key.
 WORKING WITH FORMULAS AND
FUNCTIONS
Entering a Formula:
 A formula is an expression that returns a value.
 A formula is written using operators that combine different values,
returning a single value that is then displayed in the cell.
 The most commonly used operators are arithmetic operators.
 The order of precedence is a set of predefined rules used to
determine the sequence in which operators are applied in a
calculation.
ENTERING A FORMULA:
ENTERING A FORMULA:

 Click the cell in which you want the formula results to

appear.
 Type = and an expression that calculates a value using
cell references and arithmetic operators.
 Press the Enter key or press the Tab key to complete the
formula.
ENTERING A FORMULA:
COPYING AND PASTING FORMULAS
 With formulas, however, Excel adjusts the formula’s cell references to
reflect the new location of the formula in the worksheet
INTRODUCING FUNCTIONS:

 A function is a named operation that returns a value

 For example, to add the values in the range A1:A10, you
could enter the following long formula:
=A1+A2+A3+A4+A5+A6+A7+A8+A9+A10
Or, you could use the SUM function to accomplish
the same thing:
=SUM(A1:A10)
ENTERING A FUNCTION:
ENTERING FUNCTIONS WITH AUTOSUM:
 The AutoSum button quickly inserts Excel functions that summarize
all the values in a column or row using a single statistic
 Sum of the values in the column or row

 Average value in the column or row

 Total count of numeric values in the column or row

 Minimum value in the column or row

 Maximum value in the column or row

ENTERING FUNCTIONS WITH AUTOSUM:
 VIEWING AND PRINTING
WORKSHEET FORMULAS
 You can view the formulas in a workbook by switching to formula
view, a view of the workbook contents that displays formulas instead
of the resulting values.
 To change the worksheet to formula view, press the Ctrl+` keys.
 Scaling a printout reduces the width and the height of the printout to
fit the number of pages you specify by shrinking the text size as
needed.
VIEWING AND PRINTING
WORKSHEET FORMULAS:
OBJECTIVES:

 Insert and format a graphic shape
 Create a chart sheet
PROTECTING WORKSHEETS/WORKBOOKS

 We need to protect the cells, worksheets,

workbooks from the access of unauthorized users
who may change or copy the data.
 User can apply password to the worksheet in order
to protect it. A password may also be applied to
range of cells.
 Applying password will make worksheet read only.

 When you unprotect it, it will become read/write

file.
CREATING CHARTS:
 A chart, or graph, is a visual representation of a set of data
 Select the data source with the range of data you want to chart

CREATING CHARTS:
SELECTING A CHART TYPE:

 Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon

 In the Charts group, click the Pie button
MOVING AND RESIZING CHARTS:
 By default, a chart is inserted as an embedded chart, which means
the chart is placed in a worksheet next to its data source.
 You can also place a chart in a chart sheet.
 In the Location group on the Chart Tools Design tab, click the
Move Chart button.
SELECTING CHART ELEMENTS:

 Click the Chart Tools Layout tab on the Ribbon
 In the Labels group, click the Legend button, and then click
the desired legend position
WORKING WITH THE CHART
TITLE AND LEGEND:
CREATING A COLUMN CHART:
 A column chart displays values in different categories as columns; the
height of each column is based on its value
 The bar chart is a column chart turned on its side, so each bar length
is based on its value
CREATING A COLUMN CHART:

 Select the range.

 Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
 In the Charts group, click the Column button and then choose
the chart subtype.
USING FIND AND REPLACE:
 You can use the Find command to locate numbers and text in the
workbook and the Replace command to overwrite them
USING THE SPELLING CHECKER:

 The spelling checker verifies the words in the active worksheet

against the program’s dictionary.
