Ans: - We use computer for our disease curing in our medical science for brain scanning electro-
cephalogram, electro-cardiogram, electro encephalogram, and ultrasound.
Ans:- In TV we can only found the pictures, listen sound but we can not solve our mathematical
expressions within short period of time .Computer have storage capacity and TV have no more
storage capacity. The memory power of computer is very much high as compare to TV both are
electrical machines and depends upon electricity. When off electricity occur, we can use
computer by using battery and using time period depends upon functional and working capacity
of battery, but in TV without electricity we can’t watch the pictures.
The basic difference between TV and computer is storage capacity, while computer
contain a great storage capacity as compare to TV. In computer we can paints, listen audio,
watch video but in TV we can only watch video.
In computer we can found many systems like counting, solving, memory storing
capacity, essay & story writing etc.

Q – What is Computer?
Ans: - A computer is a simply electronic machine that helps we do solve problem and if put in a
technical manner a computer is a high speed electronic device which follows instructions and is
capable of performing arithmetical and logical operations. We can say that a computer is not
readily intelligent but is simply a dump output is based on the instructions given to it. We can
run instruction on a computer create and store data and even play games on it. Main things
computer is a machine not a solution.
* Advantages of computer:-
There are lots of advantages in using computers over manual work. A few of them are
listed below –
1. Speed
2. Accuracy
3. Storage Capacity
1. Speed: -
Computer can carry out any instructions less than as millionth of a second. Naturally in
any job involving lots of calculation computers are very useful. A computer can solve a set of
thousand names less than hundredth of a second.
2. Accuracy: -
This is the most important characteristic of computer. Computer can do calculation
without errors and very accurately, even when computer is making thousand calculations, every
second not a single work will go wrong. If mistakes occur in any calculation, they are due to
human mistake.
3. Storage Capacity: -
Computer can store large volume of data and information on magnetic media. Computers
not only have a large storage capacity but also have speed to retry this save data.
* Disadvantages of computer: -
Lack of common sense computer can work as human beings but there is a lot of
difference between the computer and the men. The computer is only a tool. It can not think. It
does not have common sense or intelligence as human being have. Computers are to be
instructed for making them perform any task. So every time when we have to use computers for
a task. We need to first tell computer what to do.
* Inability to correct: -
When we give instructions to the computer we must give correct instructions. A computer
can not prompt for wrong instructions, there is a mistake in given data to the computer the end
result is wrong. Popularly, this is termed as GIGO (Garbage in Garbage Out).
Computer look as they are very clever actually, they are only tools. Thy can not do
anything unless a man instruct them. A computer can not generate any information on its own. It
can only do what it has been instructed or told to do.
* Depend on electricity:-
Computers depend on electricity for their functioning. An organization will be totally
crippled incase there is no power.
* Organization of computer:-
There are 4 key parts in computer organization.
1. Input Device
2. Output Device
3. Memory
4. Processor
1. Input Device: -
The device which is used to send the data to the computer is called as input
device. Basically, input device is used key board, mouse, scanner etc.
(a) Key Board: -
Key board is an input device. Through key board typing any character, number,
symbol etc. takes place. On the computer keyboard is available 3 types of keys.
I. Numeric key
II. Special key
III. Function key
I. Numeric key: -
The numeric keys likes A-Z, Z-A, 0-9, keyboard symbols with space bar.
Some keys name:-
- Similarity
- @ At the rate of
- ! Exclamation
- # Hash
- $ Dollar
- % Percentage
- & And
- ^ Carat (exploration)
- ( ) Parenthesis
- [ ] Square bracket
- { } Curly bracket
- Pipe line
- Window key
- Popup menu key (Right click)
- / Back slash
- \ Forward slash
(b) Mouse: -
Mouse is a small input device or is a pointing device because we first find out the point
for open or close the programmed. Mouse is small device held in hand, push along a flat surface.
It can move the crusher in any direction on the mouse is available one or more buttons on. The
button of the mouse is available one small light or small rounded ball. There are 2 types of
mouse -
1. Optical Mouse
2. Mechanical Mouse
(c) Scanner: -
Scanner just like a Xerox machine, but difference when use Xerox machine to give the
output on paper. When use scanner to give output result inside computer. Scanners are used to
scan pictures and store them in computer.
2. Output Device:-
The device which is used to show the output result, called as output device. Basically,
output device is used monitor & printer.
(a) Monitor:-
The most popular output device is the VDU (Visual Display Unit) also sometimes
replayed to as a monitor. The monitor displays the output in the form that we understand the
monitor sizes like 14”, 15”, 19” etc. The monitor output is also called soft copy. Most of the
monitor can display 25 lines of text with 80 characters in each line. There are 2 types of monitor.
1. CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)
2. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
I. Impact Printer:-
Page -7
(a) DMP: -
It stands for dot matrix printer. This printer which prints the character in the form of a
group of dots. So this is also called dot matrix printer. It printers are commonly is used although
the print quality is not good. The speed of dot matrix printer as about 120 to 600 cps
(character/sec) in this type of printer is connected ink ribbon.
3. Memory: -
Without memory the system will be lifeless and will not work. Whatever work is done by
the user to save first in computer memory. There are 2 types of memory –
I. Primary memory
II. Secondary memory.
I. Primary memory:-
There are 2 types of primary memory –
(a) RAM
(b) ROM
(a) RAM: -
It stands for Random Access Memory. It is used for storing temporary application by the
system .When the power is switch off all the content of data will be erase. It is volatile memory,
when capacity of Ram Can is changeable. RAM capacity like 4mb, 8mb, 16mb, 32mb, 64mb,
128mb, 512mb, 1gb etc.
There are 2 types of RAM –
1. Static Ram
2. Dynamic Ram
Page -8
(b) ROM: -
It stands for read only memory. It is used for storing permanent record of peripherals
when power is switch off contains Rom not erased. It is not volatile memory. Capacity of Rom
cannot be changed. That’s why it’s all known as BIOS (Basic input output system).
We always describe anybody by the physical &mental characteristics e.g. – The physical
body, mind etc. We can feel and touch the body. We can not touch the mind of a person. But
we can see the result of mind working. Mind is very important part of a personality. Without the
mind physical body is useless. Similarly, when we talk off computer, we talk of hardware and
software.
Hardware consists of the actual device which is needed to make a computer. Hardware
denotes the CPU, the monitor and other peripherals. IN more general terms anything in the
computer that we can touch forms the hardware and the instructions of programmers that are
required to operate the hardware form the software. Computer software is like human mind
which we can not see but its effect can be felt. Computer software tells the computer hardware
what to do and how to do it. This analogue is similar to human mind telling the body to walk,
run, sit etc. Main thing is computer hardware can’t function without software. Computer
software instructs the hardware about function to be performed. Computer systems works on the
basis of the instructions provided the human prepare this instruction.
* Software: -
A Programme is a detailed set up humanity prepared instructions that directs the
computer to function in a specific manner to produce the desired result.
There are 2 types of software –
1. System software
2. Application software.
1. System software: -
Page -9
The software which is instructing the system to work are called as system software is the
minimum software required to run the computer. The system software includes the operating
system. Operating system means to communicate between user, computer and application.
The operating systems like – Window 98
Window XP
Window me
Window 2000 server/professional
Window 2007
Window vista etc
2. Application software: -
Users use application software for their day to day applications. There are 2 types of
application software –
(a) Readymade application software
(b) Teller made application software.
* Hardware: -
Any computer system electronic device is called as hardware. Hardware is the any
computer system can be broadly classified into the CPU and peripherals.
CPU: -
It stands for central processing unit. The heart of the computer is called the CPU. The
CPU performs arithmetic operation, input & output operation, internal data movements, data
manipulation, accepting data, storing it and processing it. To perform the various operations the
CPU has various components like ALU, CU and MU.
ALU: -
It stands for Arithmetic Logic Unit. Its performs the actual calculations like addition,
substation, division, multiple and comparison like >,<, = etc.
CU: -
It stands for Control Unit. It co-ordinates the operation of the hardware. It also co-
ordinates the flow and execution of data and instructions that are fed into the memory.
Page -10
MU: -
It stands for memory Unit. It stores whole data instructions intermediate result and final
result ready for output.4
ALU
4=2+2
Input device = 2+2
2+2
Key, Scan, Mouse
CU Output device
2+2
2+2 = 4 Monitor, Printer
MU
The word computer is derived from the word computer (Greek) which means to calculate.
If we look back all the history of computer it can be tresses back to 3000 B.C. The Stone Age
man used small round stones for counting cattle. Later a device called ABACUS was developed
by the Chinese. This is supposed to be the first mechanical computing device. IN 1617 John
Napier a Scottish mathematician developed a device which is called Napier’s bones with the help
of this device multiplication addition, were possible. In 1642 Dies Pascal a French
mathematician invented the 1st mechanical calculator. In 1673 Gott Fried Wilhelm Leibniz a
German invented the Leibniz’s calculator which was used for addition, subtraction and
multiplication. French we are is son named Joseph Marry Jacquard made the next significance
contribution in 1804. After observing his father making different weaving, different patterns on
the loom he thought of storing these patterns for future use, so he developed a plate with multiple
holes to control the weaving patterns would be used to store data and would be called the puns
card. A puns card is a thin rectangular card divided into 80 columns and 12 rows. Around 1822
Charles Babbage a professor of mathematician at the Kembriz University device an automatic
calculating machine called difference engine. It 1833 is the developed Charles Babbage
developed 1st digital computer. This computer to store the data & print the result. In 1937 Prof.
Haward Aiken 1st Modified Puns card technology. Late in 1945 he is the developed electronic
mechanical computer named Mark-1. After approximately is connected 18000 vacuum tubes.
Memory just 200 character occupies space 1500 sq. foot.
* Generation of computer: -
1st generation of computer : -( 1945 – 1955)
Main component in use where the vacuum tubes like those in old radios which wormed
up after a minute. The Vacuum tube was also called as velvets. The 1st generation of computer
used 18000 vacuum tubes, weight 30 tons and occupies an area of a big hall. In this generation of
computer consumed massive amount of electricity. Some of the computers of these generations
are ENIAC or UNIVAC-1. ENIAC- Electronic Numeric Integrated Automatic computer.
Page -11
The real break through in computers started with the discovery of the transistor.
Transistor is a tiny semiconductor device the size is about 1/50th of velvet which can perform the
same function as that large velvet. Transistors replaced velvets in computers the use of transistor
has reduce the size of the computer, reduce manufactory and running cost, improve reliability
and processing power of the computer with consumed less power. Some of the computers of this
generation are IBM 7000 series, IBM 1620, IBM 1401, IBM (International Business
Management).
At the next step functions of a number of transistors were put together on single chips of
silicon. These chips are called ICS (Integrated circuits). A small chip the size of a finger nail
could have the equivalent of 200-2000 transistors. The chip is a small silicon wafer with very
minute transistors which can do logical comparisons and calculations. Some chips have been
developed for the purpose of data storage. These constitute the memory chips. The use of chips
technology reduces the size computer. Computers which were built using IC became the 3rd
generation of computer. Some of the computers of this generation are IBM 360, IBM 370.
From 1970 – 1985 we are in the year of 4th generation of computers in which the
electronic component was further miniaturized through LSI (Large scale Integrated). Now the
advanced paint of chip technology has come to be known as VLSI (Very Large Scale
Integration). The size of the chip is slicking and the components which are packed in a chip are
multiplying. As a result the size of the computer is reduced. What use to be room sized computer
at one time is now available as desktop computer or laptop computer?
Research is on to develop a 5th generation of computer that will have the thinking power
just like that of the human brain. These computers which are based on artificial intelligence are
designed to be thinking computer capable of storing large amount of data to be retry as and when
require solving a problem.
* Types of computer: -
There are different types of computer depending upon the functions –
1. Analog computer
2. Digital Computer
3. Hybrid computer
1. Analog computer : -
The computer which measures continuously depending condition such as temperature and
pressure and convert them into quantities. These computers are used in specific & used in
engineering discipline.
2. Digital computer: -
Page -12
The computer which measures digital data and performs arithmetic and logical operations
unsearched data. These are the most popularly use computers.
3. Hybrid computer: -
Computer system that combines features both analog & digital computer.
* Classification of computer: -
1. Super computer: -
Super computer are giant computers specially designed for processing complex
applications in scientific and engineering disciplines. Super computers have a very large memory
capacity and high speed of processing, almost comparable to the speed o flight. These are the
most costly and powerful computers ever made. Since super computer are designed to process
complex scientific applications, the computational speed of the system is most important. To
increase the speed of computations, each address location in super computers holds 64 bits of
information. Thus cycle time (the time required to execute a basic operation) may be as low as a
4 nanoseconds. (The billionths of a second).
Super computers are mainly used for application like either forecasting, defense research
etc. There are very few super computers available in the industry. Ex – Cray (which costs in
crores of rupees).
2. Mainframe computer: -
Mainframe computers offer faster processing speed (in nanoseconds) and greater storage
capacity than any computers other than super computers. A whole series of mainframe models
ranging in size from to very large are generally lumped together under a family designation by
mainframe manufactures. It has memory, speed and peripheral support. Many people can share
the CPU of the mainframe computer. The CPU of the mainframe computer is capable of doing
many jobs at a time i.e. multitasking process. However, because of the large amount of heat
generated they require heavy amount of air conditioner. Most of these computers provide
facilities like multiprogramming, time sharing and real time processing. Mainframe computers
are generally used in centralized computers. This type of computer provides larger storage
capacity and faster CPU access. They are occupying the size of almost a room. E.g. -> IBM 360
series, TATA – BURROUGHS 7800, Honey well’s, PNP 88/860
The cost is about 20 to 100 lacks.
3. Mini computer: -
Page -13
Mini computer are small general purpose they offer advantages of mainframe computers
at lower cost. They support more peripherals and are much faster than micros computers. A mini
computer usually supports one or more hard disk drives, one or more tape drives and one or more
printer. These computers support powerful software database and word processor. The internal
memory size varies from 640KB to 2 GB RAM. Ex – RPG AS – 400.
4. Micro computer: -
These are all smallest general purpose compute system available in the market. These
systems have all the functional elements that are found in most of the larger system.
Micro computer system is based on microprocessor chips. They are basically designed
for the single user systems facility. Cost wise these systems are the cheapest among all the
systems. Ex-
1. PC – Personal computer
2. PC XT – Personal computer extended technology
3. PC AT – Personal computer advanced technology
4. PC ATX – Personal computer advanced extended technology

In 1679 A.D. Leibniz defines the binary number system. A computer system does not
understand our language. When data is typed into a computer the key board converts each key
stroke into a binary character code. This system still in use. Computer can understand only
machine language. A computer can store and process the data into state device. It can be either
on, off. In other words computers can understand only the binary number system which consists
of 0 and 1. 0 stands for an off current while 1 indicated an on current. These are known as bits. In
abbreviation for binary digits. Information is represented in digital computer in group of bits.

Microsoft Paint is a program used to draw the images. A large number of drawing tools
and different colors are available to create any good pictures. The pictures created in M.S. Paint
are bit-mapped graphics. A Bitmap is a collection of bits (pixels or pels on the screen) of
information that creates an image when assigned (mapped) dots on the screen. The files created
in paint will have the extension .BMP. But, images with extension .PCX and .TIF can also be
opened in Paint by translating them to .BMP format with the conversion software.
To load Paint, select, Start – Programs – Accessories – Paint
Executable file for paint is MS – Paint. EXE.
Location: C:\Program files\accessories\
The MS – Paint program – executed from the accessories group. Different drawing tools
(toolbox) are displayed at the left side. At the bottom of the screen in the color box, the middle
empty area is the drawing area. The status line is displayed below the color box. The color box
allows selection of different colors when drawing the pictures. To select the foreground color
(drawing color), click on the color and to select the background color (fill color) right click on
the color.
TOOL BOX: -
The tool box contains various tools used to draw the images. The tolls are: -
SCISSORS PICK
PENCIL BRUSH
LINE CURVE
RECTANGLE POLYGON
*Free form select – It is used to select any area of the picture by drawing a freehand line around
the area to be selected.
*Select (pick) – It is used to select a rectangular portion of the drawing. It is the easiest way to
select the picture. Using this tool, by placing the mouse pointer at the top left corner of the
picture, click and drag to the bottom right side of the picture. The portion inside the box is the
selected area of the drawing.
*Eraser/Color Eraser – if used with left mouse button, it is an eraser or if used with right
mouse button, it is a color eraser (used to erase only a particular color in drawing). The size of
eraser can be changed and any background color can be selected.
*Paint can – It is used to fill any enclosed area with the foreground color. An enclosed area can
be defined by any line or curve in the drawing area. With this tool, select the color with which
the area must be filled and click inside the area.
*Pick color – It is used to select a particular color, which is used in the picture.
*Magnifier - This tool is used to zoom in to a particular part of the picture. After selecting this
tool, the mouse pointer displays a rectangular. Position this rectangular outline over the area to
be magnified and click. Paint displays the area at 400% magnification. Different magnifications
levels can also be selected from the tool options area at the bottom of the tool box. When the
picture is magnified, to restore it to normal, select the magnifier tool and click anywhere in the
drawing area.
*Pencil – The Pencil works much like the Brush for freehand art, expert that it only paints lines
one pixel wide. It is the convenient way to draw fine freehand lines. To draw straight vertical,
horizontal or diagonal lines, while drawing, hold the Shift key.
*Brush – It is the basic painting toll. It works like a pen or brush. This tool can be used to create
a freehand art. Using this tool, selecting any color, to draw the freehand design, click and drag
inside the drawing area. The size and shape of brush can be changed by selecting the required
size and shape of brush form tools options area in the bottom of the tool box.
*Airbrush – It works like a spray can, spraying a mist of paint wherever needed. Different spray
sizes can be selected form the bottom of the tool box. Select the desired color and click and drag
in the drawing area in the place where the color must be sprayed.
*Text – This tool is used to type the text inside the picture. Before typing the text, define a
rectangular frame for the text. The size and position of the frame and its color can be changed at
any time until the text is finalized by clicking outside the frame. The text can be written in tow
styles. That is, transparent and opaque. In transparent style, only text is included in the frame and
only the characters entered in the frame will be included in the picture. In opaque style, the text
will appear on a solid rectangular background that covers up whatever us there in the picture. To
choose the text color, click on the color in the color box and to select the color for the
background, right click on the color in the color box. Select the Text toll in the toolbox and
choose the icon for opaque or transparent text. Draw the text frame and type the text using the
font, size and styles for the text using the text toolbar. The text can also be Bold, italic or
Page -20
underline. To change the size of frame, drag the handles and to move the frame, drag the frame
outline (not the handle) to a different place. Click outside the text frame to finalize the text entry.
*Line – Line tool is used to draw straight lines. The width of line can be selected, color can be
changed and to draw the line, click and drag in the drawing area. It will draw the straight lines.
To draw the lines in angles of 45 degree, 90 degree, 135 degree etc., hold shift key while
drawing the line.
*Curve – It is used to draw the curves. To draw the curves, select the foreground color, select
the line size from the tool options area at the bottom of the tool box, draw a straight line by click
and drag. Move the mouse pointer to one side of the line, drag the mouse pointer away from the
line (left, right, top or bottom). If the curve already books right, finish it by clicking on the end
point (end position of the line drawn). To make some modification still, drag from any side of
the line with the mouse again. It will draw a curve.

4. Formulas
1. Text: -
A text in a cell can include any combination of letters, numbers, and keyboard symbols.
A cell can contain 32,000 characters. If column width prevents a text string visually in a cell, the
display extends over neighboring cells.
2. Numbers: -
Numbers include digits form 0 to 9 and some special characters like %, +, -, *, / etc. Date
and time are stored as numbers.
2. Logical value: -
Logical entries true and false can be entered in the cells.
3. Formulas: -
Formulas are entered into the cell to perform calculation. Formula begins with an = sign.
After completing the formula entry the result formula will be displayed in the cell and the
formula will be displayed in the formula bar.
4. Range of cells: -
Range is a group of cells, (also called as a block) selected generally to make the cell
formatting. To specific a range of cells using the mouse, click and drag from the middle of cell
(the mouse pointer should return to +). In the following example, the cell E4 to E7 are selected,
that is the block E4 to E7 written as E4, E7 (use a single dot or double dot or colon) between the
1st and last cell address in a range. The different methods are used to select range of cells.
* Click on a cell, and holding down the left mouse button, drag the mouse pointer across
different cells and release the mouse button.
* Click on a cell, place the mouse pointer on the last cell of the range and press SHIFT key on
the keyboard and click on the left mouse button
* To block non-continuous cells, press CONTROL key and drag from the middle of the cell.
* To block the cell in a row, click on the row number in the left side of the worksheet.
* To block the cell in a column, click on the column header at the top of the worksheet.
* To select entire worksheet press CONTROL + A or click on place above the 1st row number
and before the 1st column letter. ( Top left corner of the worksheet)
Cell Reference: -
A formula represents certain cell relationship which generates a result. When typing the
cell address in the formula, three types of cell references can be used. A cell reference specifies
when the formula is copied to other cells, its column or row number is to change or not.
Relative reference = B3*C3
Absolute reference = $B$3*$C$3
Mixed reference = $B3*$C3
Relative reference: -
If a formula with relative reference is copied, the cell references used in the formula will
automatically change in the copied cell. E.g. – When the formula = B3*C3 in cell D3 is copied to
Page -47
D4, the formula will be = B4*C4 in the cell D4. Similarly if the formula in D3 is copied to E3,
the formula will be C3*D3.
Absolute reference: -
If the formula with absolute reference is copied, the cell reference used to the formula
remain unchanged i.e. no change in column and row number. To achieve this, use $ symbol
before the column letter and the row number. E.g. When the formula = $B$C*$C$3 in cell D3 is
copied to D4. The formula will be = $B$3*$C$3 itself because both column letter and row
numbered are made constant. That means, the result in the cell D3 and D4 will be the same.
Mixed reference: -
If a formula with mixed reference is copied, the cell reference used in the formula will
change either the column letter or the row number, but not both of them. To achieve this $
symbol before the column letter or the row number. E.g. When the formula = B$3*C$3 in cell
D3 is copied to D4, it will be = B$3*C$3 but if the formula is copied to cell E3. It will be =
C$3*D$3 because, the row numbers are made constant and not the column letters. (To calculate
discount @ 2% on value type the formula = D3*2% in E3 or if 2% is written in any cell (in cell
E1 as given below) type = D3*$E$1 and copy it to other cells. C$E$1 is an absolute reference
and when the formula is copied to other cells both column letter and row number will remain
unchanged).
To calculate the net value type = D3-E3 in Fe and copy it other cells. It uses relative
reference.

AUTO FILE: -
The auto-fill feature of M.S.EXCEL will save data entry time by expanding series of
numbers, days of week, different months etc form a given cell to adjustment ones. This achieved
using the fill-handled.
1. To generate the serial numbers 1,2 ,3,4…… with the increment, type one in any cell and
CONTROL+DRAG 1 the fill handled down of right, this will increment, the number by 1 in
each cell and CONTOL + DRAG the fill handled up on left will reduced the no. by 1. In each
cell instead of 1 any other starting number can also be entered. As we drag the fill handle, the no.
which will appear in the cell will be displayed near fill handled for our preference.
2. To generate the serial number with the increment other than 1, type the 1st tow numbers, block
either two cells or the drag the fill handled. To generate 5, 10, 15, 20…. One below the enters
type 5 in any cell. IN the next cell type 10 block those 2 cells and drag the fill handled down. We
can also generate the numbers in descending order by typing 100, 95 in different cell.
1. Text can enter with the numbers F1, F2, F3 …. Type F1 in any cell and drag the fill handle.
2. To generate quarter Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 type Q1 in any cell and drag the fill handled. We can also
write QTR 1 QTR1 or QUARTER 1 or QUARTER 1 etc.
3. To generate the name of months January, February, March etc in any cell and drag the handled
we can also start of any months name and name of month can also be written as Jan, Jan,
January, January etc. The result will follow the upper on lowercase letter that we have used in
the 1st month name. In the same way, we also generate the day of week in words like Sunday,
Monday, and Tuesday etc.
1. We can also generate April, July, October and January cleaving 2 month names in the middle
by typing April and July in different cells, block the cells and drag the fill handle.
2. We can also generate 1st April, 2nd April, and 3rd April etc. by typing 1st April in any cell and
drag the fill handle.
3. We can also generate the continuous dates by typing any date and dragging fill handle. For ex
– 1/1/1 and drag the fill handle.
CHARTS: -
Charts are graphical representation of numerical data. A set of numeric data, which is
actually plotted is called data series. Each value in the data series is a data point. Data series can
be in rows and columns.
Type of chart: -
Depending upon the appearance of chart, chart can be an embedded chart and chart sheet.
Embedded chart is drawn on the worksheet where the data exists. Chart sheet is a separate sheet
containing only the chart on it.
E.g. In the worksheet given in above figure selects A2:D6 and press F11.A default chart will be
created in a separate sheet named chart-1, before the sheet, which contains the data. The chart

Since the source data is stored in a worksheet database, select the Microsoft excel list or
database. Click on next to go the second step.
* Step 2 displays the database range.
* Click on next to go to third step or back to go to previous step.
* Step 3 of pivot table is used to specify the layout of pivot table.
Row: -
Field(s) used as row titles. In figure 4.10 ITEM.
Column: -
Field(s) used as column titles. In figure 4.10, BRANCH.
Page: -
Field(s) used to filter the database, allowing the data to be viewed one page at a time. In figure
4.10, SALES MAN.
All field names in the database will be listed on the right side of the Pivot Table Layout
dialog box. To include the fields in the Pivot Table layout, drag the field to the required position.
* Drag the field AMOUNT to DATA area.
* Drag the field ITEM to ROW area.
* Drag the field BRANCH to COLUMN area.
* Drag the field SALES MAN to PAGE area.
* Click on Next to proceed to the last step.
DATA VALIDATION: -
Page -65
Data validation is a process of verifying that the data is acceptable by applying certain
rules.
VALIDATING NUMBERS, DATES, TIME AND TEXT: -
Applying data validation is conceptually similar to cell formatting i.e. the command acts upon
the selected cell(s). Suppose validation is to be give:
Select the cell(s) for which the validation is to apply.
Select data> Validation. The tabbed dialog box is displayed.
This dialog box is virtually identical for Decimal, Date and Time validation. The tabbed dialog
box displays three tabs namely Settings, Input Message, and Error Alert
Setting Tab: -
*Allow: - This option allows you to select the data validation option from the list. To apply
restrictions to the data entered in the selected cell(s). The options are whole numbers, text length,
decimal custom etc. and any value,
*Data: - Allow you to select the operator, depending on the type of data selected in the allow
option.
*Minimum: - Enter the minimum value that can be entered in the cell(s).
*Maximum: - Enter the maximum value that can be entered in the cell(s).
*Clear all: - Deletes all selections and information from all the three tabs of the data validation
dialog box. To undo the effects of clear all click on cancel.
*Click: - On the check box apply these changes to all other cells with the settings. It applies all
restriction, input message, and error message, displayed in the dialog box to all other cells.
Present on the worksheet that box the same data validation as that of the selected cell(s).
*Ignore blank: - Stops an error message from appearing when a restricted cells or a dependent
cell for references or formula is blank.
*Title: - type an optional title for the input message to be displayed when a user selects the
restricted cell. The title will appear in bold text.
*Input message: - Type the text of the message to be displayed. The message can be up to 255
characters.
*Select the show input message when ell is selected check box: - To display a message that
prompts for entry into the selected cell.
Auto filter: -
Data>filter>Auto filter.
Auto filter helps you to display the records. Which meet a particular condition? When
this option is selected, drop down controls are placed next to each field name. On clicking on this
drop down control, the contents of the field without repetition are displayed. The content of drop
down box are: Each of the data item in the field contents like [All], [Top 10], [Custom], [Blank]
and [Non blank].
Contents Function
[All] will turn off the filter for that field
[Top 10] this dialog box allows the user to change the number of record to
filter and choose top or bottom number of those records. Using
these categories, only records containing numeric value can be
filtered
[Custom] will set a custom filter where the user can specify the conc. By the
choosing =, >, <, <=, >= and <>.
[Blanks] will display only those rows with field content blank.
[Non blanks] ill display only those rows where the field is not blank.
It a condition is specified for a column, the down arrow mark next to the name
And the rows, which are filtered, will be blue in color.
Data sort: -
Sorting is arranging the record in a database, based on one or more fields
(Column). Sort brings the related records together, so that the record in the database is
easily accessible. Records can be arranged in the ascending or descending order to sort
the records.
Page -67
* Click on any cell inside the database and select data> sort. The following dialog will be
displayed on the screen.
* Generally, a database will have column headings i.e. the option header row under has my list
has tab must be selected, if there are no field name select now header row.
* Sorting can be down on one, two or three fields, the field, on which database is to be sorted
first, must be given in sort by. The second preference field name can be given in first then by.
The third priority field name can be given in next then by. Among them, sort by field name
necessary. Sort order ascending or descending can be specified for every sort columns.
* Click on ok to arrange the records. In sorting has to be cancelled and original database is
required, select undo (Ctrl + z) from edit menu before making any change in the workbook.
By default, sort is not case sensitive. To perform a, case sensitive sort. Click on options
button in the sort dialog box. Then select, case sensitive check box. Sorting type, top to bottom
(default) or left or right can also be specify on the sort option dialog box.
Data subtotals: -
To generate subtotals of numeric fields based on a controlling field, the data must have
been sorted on ascending or descending order of the controlling field.
E.g. consider a database with fields name subject and marks. The total or average mark of each
student can be obtained through subtotals.
*Click on any cell inside the database and select data> subtotal. The subtotal dialog is displayed.
*Select the name on field on which the database is sorted in the box of at each change in.
*From the drop down box of use function, select a function like sum, average, count etc (any one
function)
Page -68
*Select the name of fields on which the subtotal is to be generated. In the above example marks.
*To generate fresh subtotal ignoring the subtotals present if any, select replace current subtotals.
*The page break between group’s settings can be checked to insert a page break after each
subtotal.
*The summary below data setting can be checking to place the subtotal row, beneath the date.
Otherwise, it is placed on top.
Goal Seek: -
Essentially, Goal seek solves formulas backwards. Here the result needed as well as the
single input to be changed is known. To determine the value of the input to get the desired result,
Goal seek is used. When goal seeking, Microsoft excel varies the value in one specific unit a
formula that is dependent on that cell returns the result required.
COMMISSION
AGENT SALES RATE COMMISSION
HARISH 5000 5.0% 250
RAVI 2500 3.0% 75
MADHAV 4300 4.0% 172
In the above worksheet, the sales made by different agents, the commission rate and the
commission received by the agent (=B2*C2) is given. Now agent Ravi demands to get the
commission amount of Rs.100 to give him the commission Rs 100, by taking into account the
same sales (2500) made by him, what will the commission rate be? This is calculate using Goal
seek.
The cell containing the formula will be the set cell. It will be automatically displayed. In the To
value text box, type the target value.
e.g. – 100, in place changing of By changing cell, type the address of cell, the value of which is
to be changed. In our example C3 and press ok. It will displayed goal seek status by changing the
commission rate (4%). Click on ok.
For each particular workbook, file properties like the title, subject, author, keywords and
comments can be entered. This information is used tot locate the workbook. To enter the
properties of a file.
*Open the workbook, for which the properties have to be entered.
*Select file>properties.
*Enter a title, subject, author and keywords that might be useful in a future search and
comments.
*Click on ok.
Error: -
An error message appears when excel properly calculate or display the result of a
formula.
####: -
The column is too narrow to display the result of the calculations. You can change the
column width to display the result. To change the column width, see next page of this book. The
cell contains the formula =A1*A2

PMT function: -
Calculates the payments for a loan based on constant interest rate.
Sy -> PMT(rate, nper, pv, [fv],[type])
Rate - rate of interest for the loan.
Nper - is the total number of payments for the loan.
PV – is the present value, total amount that a series of future payments is worth now; also known
as principal.
Fv – is the future value, or a cash balance you want to attain after the last payment is mode. It fv
is omitted, it is assumed to be 0, that is the future value of a loan is zero. Type – is the no. 0 or 1
and indicates when payments are due.
Remark: -
The payment returned by PMT includes principal and interest but no taxes, reverse
payments or fees sometimes associated with loans.
*Make sure that you are consistent about the units you use for specifying rate and nper. If you
use for specifying rate and nper. If you make monthly payments on a four year loan at an annual
interest rate of 12 percent, use 12%/12 for rate and 4*12 for nper. If you make annual payments
on the same loan, use 12 percent for rate and 4 for nper.
Example: -
A B
Data Description
8% Annual interest rate
10 Number of months of payment
10000 Amount of loan.
Formula Description
=PMT(A2/12,A3,A4) Monthly payment of a loan with the above terms.
=PMT(A2/12,A3,A4,0,1) Monthly payment of a loan with the above terms.

dedicated for computer use only. Most computers however use a drive called a modem which
allows computer to talk to each other over existing telephone lines.
Before defining a modem we must learn the meaning of two words modulate and
demodulate. Modulate means to convert information into analog information. Demodulate mean
to convert analog signals into digital form.
There are 2 types of modem –
1. Internal
2. External
Both modems are functionally same.
1. Internal Modem: - It is connected inside of CPU.
2. External modem: - It is connected outside the CPU. Modem transfer computer signal to Audi

M.s. aCCess
Introduction: -
M.S. Access is a RDBMS (Relational database management system) under windows. It is
used to store and manipulate large amounts of data. That is stored in multiple tables and access
allows us to setup relationship between the tables to facilitate data retrieval.
M.S. Access is an object oriented programme i.e. everything in M.S. Access is an object.
Each object has properties that define how it appears and what work it performs. M.S. Access
has a number of components out of which the most important component is the table object.
Tables are objects that hold the data and all related objects such as queries, forms and reports that
are used to manage this data in tables.
Database: -
A database is a collection of data related to a particular subject or purpose. Such as
tracking customer orders or maintaining a music collection using M.S. access you can manage all
your data from a single data base file. The database will have extension .MDB; within the
database file divide your data into separate storage – containers called data tables. It is possible
to view, add and update the table data using online forms; find and retrieve just the data you
want using queries; and analyze or print data in a specific layout using reports.
Relational databases: -
We earlier remarked that M.S. access is a RDBMS on a rational database management
system. Now what do we mean by a relational database. In relational database the tables are
related on common fields known as key fields. This helps in accessing data from more than one
table. The relationship may be defined as the time of table’s creation or at a later stage. Usually it
is done night when beginning in the planning of database design. The relational design process
provides a structured approach of modeling on information systems data and the business rules
for that data. The 3 key components used in relations database design as discussed earlier are
entities, Attributes and relationship.
Key field: -
We have already seen that in M.S. access data from more than one table can be related on
a common field called key field. The key field links the data in the two tables. M.S. access senses
this relationship by comparing the key fields and it they match performs an automatic linking.
Such an automatic linking is called AUTO-JOIN. However users can specifically (manually) link
any two tables required key field by creating a relationship.
Primary key: -
Primary key is a rule which includes that unique data is entered unique data is entered for
a field and the field is not left back (null). This makes the record unique. For example – In a bank
master file, there will be only one record for one account, number , student roll numbers,
Account numbers, customer numbers, recipient numbers are example for primary key fields.
Foreign key: -
In order to manage the data we distribute the data in many tables. The amen table is
referred to as the master table and the lower level table in which the record data is stored in the
transaction table. The two levels are related and must be linked based on a field in the transaction
Page -82
table is called the foreign key and its values depend on the primary key values of the master
table.
Number: -
Numbers formatted in various ways can go in a number field. The data that can be stored
in this type of field depends on the option selected from the field size list. This option available
is: -
Byte: -
Stored number from 0 to 255 without decimals. It occupies one byte.
Integer: -
Store numbers from -327681 to 32768 without decimals occupies 2 byte.
Long integer: -
Store numbers from -2 to 2 billion approximately without decimals occupies 4 byte.
Single: -
Stored numbers with 6 digits of precision from -3.402823E38 to 3.40282E38 occupies 4
bytes.
Double: -
This is the default field size for number type of fields. It stores numbers with 10 digits
precision from -1.79769313486232E308 to 1079769313486232E308 occupies 8 bytes.
Date/time: -
Date, time or date combinations of the transaction. The date on time can be stored in
different formats as given below –
GENERAL
DATE 6/16/94 5:34:23pm
LONG DATE SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 1994
MEDIUM DATE 19-Jun-94
SHORT DATE 6/19/1994
LONG TIME 5:34:23 PM
MEDIUM TIME 5:34 PM
SHORT TIME 17:34
Currency: -
This type of field is for money values for any number used in calculations. This data type
has a special in built logic that corrects rounding errors.
Auto number: -
Page -83
This type of field can not be uploaded on edited. M.S. access automatically assigns a
number to this field when a record is added to a table. When the record is added the value in this
is incremented by one. This type of field is useful, if the serial number is to be stored in a field.
Yes/no: -
This type of field can store only logical values that can contain only one of two values
true or false. This type of field can not be used for indexing.
OLE object: -
This type of field is used to store an object such as M.S. excel spread sheet on a paint
brush picture etc. The size of picture can be up to 1 GB. This type of field can not be used for
indexing.
Hyperlink: -
These fields hold hyperlink address that go to websites, database objects on other files.
Lookup wizard: -
A look up field starts a wizard that places lookup values can come from a list you enters
table or a query lookup wizard.
Elements of database: -
The important database object is tables, queries, forms, reports, macros and modules.
Tables: -
A table is a collection of data about a specific topic such as products, students or
suppliers. Using a separate table for each topic means you store that data only once, which makes
your database more efficient and reduces data entry errors. Tables organize data into columns
[called files] and rows [records]. M.S. access has a table data sheet view, where in you can add,
edit or view the data in a table. You can also check the spelling and print your table’s data, filter
or sort records, change the datasheets appearance or change the table structure by adding or
deleting column. In the M.S. access table design view, you can create an entire table form scratch
or add, delete or customize and exiting tables field.
Forms: -
When a table is opened, it gets presented in a data sheet view. In data sheet view data is
presented in rows and columns. In most cases it is better in rows and columns. In most cases it is
better to use the form to enter of modifies data. Developing a database form from scratch is a
tedious task. M.S. access has a form wizard with a form can be created after answering a number
of questions about what you want to see. Columnar auto form creates a form with one record per
page and fields arranged in column.
In M.S. access the simplest and easiest way to create a form it to use auto form feature.
Using auto form you can automatically create columnar, tabular and datasheet forms based on a
table on a query 40 select. There are 3 varieties of auto forms.
1. Columnar
2. Tabular
3. Datasheet.
A columnar auto form shows 1 record a time in the form view window. They are the
easiest forms to create. To fields are arranged in columns.

Tabular form: -
A tabular auto forms a show several records in form view window with the fields
arranged in rows.
Creating a tabular auto form: -
1. Click on the forms tab
2. Click on new.
3. Click on the auto form; tabular option.
4. Select the table or query form which data must be used.
Reports: -
Reports are another type of object used in M.S. access to view and to print data reports
can present data from a single table as well as move than one table.
Reports are similar to forms and fact the report design window shares may of the features
of the form design window.
However there is some important difference between these to type of object one
difference is that programme primarily uses to edit or view data on your computer screen. When
you move through a form you usually navigate form one record to another. Reports on the other
hand can be previewed on screen as well as but their main purpose is to present information in a
nastily printed page. Another difference between form and report is that reports have special
features to help you summarize data. It is not possible to view this kind of summering
information use in a form.
Auto reports: -
An auto report is the quickest way to create a report for a table on a query. It generates
the report with the table name as the heading and page number at the footer.
* Columnar auto report creates a report where each row is presented verticals.
* Tabular auto report creates a report where data is Tabular auto report creates a report where
data is presented in table form.
* Label reports create a mailing list.
* Chart report creates a chart report.
* Design view helps us to create a report base on user requirement.
Selection of a report: -
The report is divided into many sections.
5. Close the reports preview window and access prompts you give a name to the report it you
want to save it.
Once the report is created you can view it in the future. To do so –
* Select reports tab in the database window.
* The available reports will be listed. Select the report that you want to generate and click on
preview.
Tabular auto reports will however have disadvantages when the table has many fields.
This is because M.S. access will try to squeeze and fit all the fields of the record onto a page and
hence create a must. So in such cases it is always better to deign a query with on the relevant
fields in view and then create a tabular report on this query.
Queries: -
Queries means to search a particular record in your table.
Table design in the transaction table, STD fees: -
The fee paid by the student is recorded in a separate table, STDFEES. This becomes the
transaction table and will be linked to the STD MASTER Bale base on the key field, ST-ID. In
this table ST-ID cannot be the primary key as each student can pay the fees many times.
However each payment is unique and hence the fees- RT -no. Has been the primary key.
STD FEES
RECEIPT NO AUTO NO PRIMARY KEY
ST - ID NUMBER
FEES AMOUNT CURRENCY
FEES DATE DATE
FEES TYPE YES/NO YES FOR CASH/ NO FOR CHEQUE
CHEQUE NO NUMBER
In order to link the tables STDMASTER and STDFEES a relationship can be created. To
create a common key field must be present.
Procedure to create the relationship form the relationship window: -
* Choose tolls> relationship
Or
* Right click any where in the database window and choose the relationship.
* Click on the show table’s button on the toolbar.
* Double click on the names of the table you are relating, if they are already visible in the
relationship window.
* Close the show table dialogue box.
* Click on the linking field in one table and drag the mouse pointer to the linking field in the
related table. E.g. – In the relationship window, click on the ST-ID if the STDFEES table and
drag the mouse towards ST-ID of the table, STDMASTER and the following window appear.
Referential integrity: -
*Click on the enforce referential integrity.
* Referential integrity is a rule says that the table must not contain any unmatched foreign key
values.
*i.e. there can not be any roll number in the transaction file which does not exist tin the student
master file.
*Click on cascade updating related fields.
*Click on cascade delete related records.
Finally, click on create and a one to many relationship is created between the student
master table and the student fee table.
Cascading Delete and update operations: -
If you select cascade delete for a relationship any time you delete records in the primary
table. M.S. access automatically deletes related records in the related primary table. E.g. if a
student record is deleted from the master, that student record is the marks file is automatically
deleted. A warning is displayed. If you select cascade update for a relationship, if the primary
key is changed in the primary table, M.S. access automatically changes the primary key to the
new value in all related records.
E.g. – Changing the roll no of students in the master table will automatically change the roll
number in the student marks table. No warning is displayed.
Select file > close and the relationship is stored in the data base.
Editing a relationship: -
The relationship can be changed at any time as required by the user. In the database
window, select the database table forms the tools menu, select relationship and the relationship
window is displaced. In the window, click on the line which links the two tables and the linking
line is selected. Keeping the mouse pointer on this line, right click the mouse. For the shortcut
menu and options to edit relationship or delete is displayed. Click on the delete option to delete
the relationship. In order to delete the existing relationship click on the edit- relationship option.
