EXCEL NOTES






The farthest back that excel with identify a date is 01/01/1900. This date is represented in
excel by entering a number 1 in an active single cell.
When you enter a date like 02/28/1975, excel will read it as a number.
If you want numbers within a cell to be actual numbers, go up to the ribbon and under
number make sure to click on currency. If for some reason there is a dollar sign and a
dash in your cell....it's in an accounting format. Simply go and change it to a currency
format instead if you want currency within the cells.
Anytime you are in a cell make sure you have the correct format you want in the cell. As
Peter showed in class when we enter a date within a cell and hit enter, it's simply going to
turn it into numbers so just make sure your formatting is correct then you won't have
issues!
How can you make the column heading not so wide? Go up to the ribbon and click wrap
text but make sure you have the cell activated, the one you want to change.
Never manually enter this in a cell...B2*15 and hit enter! Peter say's people do this all the
time and it's WRONG! This was the example of calculating someones wages and if they
worked 40 hours a week then they multiply it by $15.00 per hour. Peter say's to give the
$15.00 a cell on it's own because you always want to give a cell there own cell if it can
change or will change. You don't want to create more work for yourself if you don't have
to.

Peter also indicates that we should NEVER type in cell address's because you can easily
make mistakes. Simply click on the cells you wish to add or subtract or what ever
function it may be.
GOOD TO KNOW...if you get ##### inside a cell it simply means that your column is a
little narrow. Simply widen it up a bit to correct it.
What is the fill handle...if you look at a single cell you will notice at the bottom right
corner will be a little black square....this is where you can grab onto it and drag it down
over other cells to calculate their sums.
Relative Cell Reference indicates an off-set. Which is basically how far to get from one
cell to the other. e.g., left one, down 5.
If you copy an off-set cell it's going to also be an off set cell.
Absolute Reference is always going to point directly to that one particular cell, always!
To get a cell to be Absolute you want to hit the F4 button. (for jenns laptop it's fn then the
f4 button)
Brackets in excel simply mean it's a negative number and it does not matter what color
the brackets are.
Hours and Wages-DON'T enter e.g., B2*15 in a cell cause it's WRONG! Give the 15
which is the hourly rate it's own cell. Why because this amount can change.
Calculate sums...grab the fill handle and drag
What are the three things you can put into a cell? 1. formula 2. text string and 3. number

Descending=e.g., Z to A
