• Spreadsheet is a computerized ledger. A spreadsheet is generic term; worksheet is an Excel term

• Divided into Rows and Columns

• Cell References

• Constants--entries that do not change

A B C D…….

Cell name

256 Columns

2007 – 16,384

Active cell

Numeric constant

– right aligned

Text constant

- Left aligned

1,2,3 - 65,000 Rows

2007 – 1 million

Worksheets within the Workbook.

Sheet tabs can be renamed by right clicking

A workbook is the entire file and a worksheet is the individual page within the workbook www.cookieSetton.com

My first Spreadsheet

Enter data, starting in B1, tab to C1, D1, E1, F1 and enter to add balance of information.

Click into B5 to add formula for adding column B. www.cookieSetton.com

Creating a spreadsheet with formulas

• Enter data below

• Click into cell B9 to enter formula, =sum(B4:B8) and press enter

• Continue entering formulas in C9, D9, E9 & F9

Click into G4 to enter formula, =sum(B4:F4) and press enter

Change B4 to 276. Worksheet recalculates automatically after change

To change which cell is active, use the arrow keys, click the desired cell, or use the keyboard shortcuts from the following table.

Arrows: One cell in the direction of the arrow

Home: Beginning of current row

Ctrl+Home: Beginning of the worksheet

Ctrl+End: Bottommost, rightmost non-blank cell in sheet

Page Down: Down one screenful

Page Up: Up one screenful

Alt+Page Down: Right one screenful

Alt+Page Up: Left one screenful

Enter: To beginning of next row (or beginning of data range in next row)

Tab: One cell to the right

Shift+Tab: One cell to the left

Ctrl+Backspace You can press to bring the active cell into view if you lose track of it.

Creating Formulas & Functions

• All formulas & functions begin with an equal “ = “ sign . Formula is an equation that performs a calculation. A function is a predefined formula.

• Addition : (formula) =A2+A3+A4+A5

• (function) =SUM(A2:A5)

Average (formula) =(A2+A3+A4+A5)/4

• (function) =AVERAGE(A2:A5)

Subtraction : (formula) =A2-A3

________________________________________________________________________________

Range: A series of consecutive numbers. Eg. A2:A5 represents A2,A3,A4,A5

Hierarchy of Operations – Order of precedence of the operators is as follows:

^ (caret) exponentiation

*(asterisk) multiplication

/(slash) division (Multi. & Div. are performed in order reading from left to right)

+(plus) addition

-(minus)subtraction (Also performed in order from left to right)

When parentheses ( ) surround parts of a formula, however, the operation inside the parentheses takes precedence.

Tip: this sentence is a helpful mnemonic device for remembering the order.

Please parentheses

Excuse exponents

My multiplication

Dear division

Aunt addition

Sally subtraction www.cookieSetton.com

More Formulas & Functions

 Highest amount in a range……=MAX(A2:A10)

 Lowest amount in a range…....=MIN(A2:A10)

 Count of values in a range …..=COUNT(A2:A10)

 Count of any data in a range…=COUNT(A2:A10)

 IF FUNCTIONS enables you to build a logical formula. The IF function compares the value in a cell to a test that you specify, then makes a decision as to whether the value meets the test. True or false……….=IF(logical_text,if_true,value_if_false) www.cookieSetton.com

Lesson 3 – SS16 – quick sum over multiple cells,. ss16B – moving information on another worksheet. SS19 – more complex formulas – adding a new assumption in projections.SS21

– statistic functions; max, min, average, averagea, count. SS22 – logical function – IF (evaluating conditions).

Lesson 4 – compare with IF function which is 2 options. Vlookup & Hlookup – return information based on data store in a lookup table. The function attempts to match a value in one of its arguments to values in the 1 st column of the lookup table www.cookieSetton.com
