SUBJECT: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Lesson: Electronic Spreadsheet(Notes) CLASS : IX

Answer the following questions

1. Define Range in Spreadsheet


Ans: Range of cells: A block of adjacent cells in a worksheet which is highlighted or selected is
called a range of cells.
2. What is the difference between Label and Value in Calc?
Ans: Label is the any text entered by using a keyboard. It may combine with letters, numbers, and
special symbols.
Values: The numerical data consisting of only numbers are called values.
3. Explain functions in Libre Office Calc.
Ans: Functions are pre -designed formulas to perform simple and complex calculations. Functions are
made up of two parts: Arguments and Structure.
Arguments: Arguments are input values to functions.
Structure: The structure of a function defines its basic Skelton ,which forms the basis of writing in the
general syntax of functions. The structure begins with the function name followed by a list of
arguments separated by commas within the parenthesis. A function must begin with ‘=’ sign
=function name(argument1,argument2,…..)

=SUM(Number1,Number2,.....)
Adds the values contained in a range of
cells.

=AVERAGE(Number1,Number2,....)
Finds out the average of the values
contained in a range of cell

=MAX(Number1,Number2,......)
Finds out the largest value contained in a
range of cells.

=MIN(Number1,Number2,......)
Finds out the smallest value contained in
a range of cells.
=COUNT(Number1,Number2,.....)
Counts the number of cells within a range
of cells.
4. What do you understand by cell referencing. Explain Relative, Absolute and Mixed cell
referencing .
Ans: Referencing is the way to refer the formula or function
from one cell to the next cell along the row or column.
There are three types of referencing.
• Relative referencing
• Mixed referencing
• Absolute referencing
Relative Referencing: When you drag any formula in any row or column in any direction, the
formula gets copied in the new cell with the relative reference. Almost all spreadsheet
applications use relative referencing by default.
Absolute referencing: In Absolute referencing, a $ symbol is used before the column name as well
as row number to make it constant in any formula. For example, $C$12, $D$5, etc. In
this case, even if you drag your formula in any direction, the cell name remains constant.
Mixed referencing: In Mixed Referencing, the $ sign is used before row number or column name to
make it constant. It is a combination of Relative and absolute cell referencing.Ex:D$2,$B10..etc
5. Define Chart
Ans: A chart is a graphical representation of data in a worksheet .It helps to provide a better
understanding of large quantities of data.
6. Explain the following types of charts
a. Bar chart
b. Column chart
c. Line chart
d. Pie Chart

a. Bar chart: It illustrates the data comparison between individual items in cases when time
is not important factor. The categories are organized vertically and values horizontally
b. Column Chart: It is used for displaying data that shows different trends over time.It is the
default chart type. In this type of chart categories are organized horizontally and values
vertically to emphasize on magnitude of change over time.
c. Line Chart :It is in the form of lines and use to illustrate the trends in data at equal
intervals.
d. Pie chart: It displays the data in the form of a circle. It shows the proportional size of
individual items that makes up a data series to the sum of items.
7. List the components of chart
Ans: Various components of a chart are
1. Chart area
2. Category axis
3. Value axis
4. Data series
5. Category name
6. Chart Wall
7. Legend
8. Chart title
9. Gridlines
