Recalling MS Excel

Electronic Spreadsheet
Is a computer application that displays and organizes data and has the ability
to easily record, analyze and interpret the data. It is composed of grid cells
consisting of horizontal rows labeled by numbers and vertical columns labeled by
letter.

A cell is an individual box which may contain data: letters, numbers, or formulas.
It is usually referred to by its cell address, which is the intersection point of a
column (letters) and row (numbers).
The following are the typical uses of a spreadsheet:

➢ Organizing qualitative list with pertinent quantitative data. (Ex. Budget, expenditures,
frequency, and volume usage)
➢ Calculations (adding, subtracting, etc.)
➢ Collecting data from different sources (phone numbers, prices, etc.)
➢ Managing inventory
➢ Analyzing numbers or quantities
➢ Organizing list and tables

Entering Data
Entering data in Excel means entering data into cells. Excel recognizes three
different types of data-entry which are the following;
➢ Text – are entries that have no value associated with them. They can also
consist of numerical data not used in any calculations or formulas.
➢ Values – are numeric data used in calculations. Values are automatically
aligned to the right of the cell.
➢ Formulas – are entries used to perform calculations. They are composed of
values, cell references, mathematical operations and special functions.
Creating Formulas
PEMDAS stands for:

P – Parenthesis
E – Exponent This means that equations with mixed operations are solved
in this order.
M – Multiplication
D – Division We start simplifying value inside the parenthesis, performing
exponentiation, multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting.
A – Addition
S - Subtraction
