Making a Multiplication table
• Today you are going to make a
multiplication table using Excel.
• The multiplication table is a good example
of how information can be stored and
formatted in Excel.
What other types of cells are
there?
• Cell phone
• Cell in you body
• Prison cell
Prison Cell Analogy
• Prisoner goes inside cell, data goes inside
cell.
• There are different kinds of prisoners that
go inside cells, there are different kinds of
data that goes into cells, text, numbers,
formulas.
Prison Cell Analogy
• Prison cell is part of a “cell block”,
spreadsheet cell is determined by row and
column.
• Prison cell walls (usually cement blocks)
can be painted and so can the bars
• Spreadsheet cell can be filled with color
(shading) and can have color on the edge
(border)

the following
– Value ( or data- the prisoner in the cell)
– Format ( how the cell is formatted )
– Formula
Copy and Paste
• To make your life easier, Excel does have
copy and paste.
• You need to know what you are trying to
copy, do you want to copy the value in the
cell or the format of the cell?

• Formatting Painter
Spreadsheet Assignment
• Make a Multiplication Table up to 10
