Now on this part of your module, I need you to use a laptop or computer, maybe your
Android or Iphone, so that you can follow all the steps given on the activities below. And
you have to open your MICROSOT EXCEL and do the following activities below.

Lesson Introduction
Whether you work in the field of accounting or not, the truth is whether you do should be accounted for. This is
because the resources you use cost you expenses. Whether you become a scientist, an engineer, a yoga
instructor, a bartender, or an airline pilot, it is important to understand how a company spends to be able to
deliver a product or service. These factors could be easily be computed using spreadsheet programs like
Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

Let’s get to know MS EXCEL


Microsoft Excel is a software program produced by Microsoft that allows users to
organize, format and calculate data with formulas using a spreadsheet system.

Did you know why Microsoft Excel is considered as spreadsheet software?


It’s because Spreadsheet software is defined as a type of computer program that helps a user perform
numerical functions and analyze numbers through a computerized version of an accounting worksheet.

A Spreadsheet is an interactive computer application for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular
form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized analogs of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates
on data entered in cells of a table that is why MS excel is a spreadsheet software
THE SCREEN ELEMENTS OF MS EXCEL AND THEIR FUNCTION

Parts Description
1. Row horizontal line of entries in a table
2. Column vertical line of entries in a table
3. Cell the place where info. is held in a spreadsheet
4. Active Cell the selected cell/working cell
5. Column Heading the box at the top of each column containing a letter
6. Row Heading the row number
7. Cell Reference the cell address of the cell usually combines letter and number (ex. A1,
B4, C2)
8. Merge combining or joining two or more cells
9. Formula is an expression which calculates the value of a cell.
10. Functions are predefined formulas and are already available in Excel
11. Formula Bar the bar that displays the contents of a cell

Did you know that aside from basic computation or the use of arithmetic operation,
there are more ways to compute large data in an instant? Just keep on reading and
you’ll know it in no time.

EXPLAIN

Microsoft Excel provides an automated way of displaying any statistical data. It can be
used to automatically compute for several factors that are not easy to notice especially
when faced by a large data. Microsoft Excel includes several arithmetic and basic
functions that help you compute faster.
FUNCTIONS BASIC MATH OPERATIONS

=SUM(x,y) or =SUM(range) – returns the sum of x and y or (all the numbers within the range)
=PRODUCT(x,y) – returns the product of x and y
=QUOTIENT(x,y) – returns the quotient of x divided by y
=x-y – returns the difference of x subtracted by y
=x+y – returns the sum of x and y
=x*y – returns the product of x and y
=x/y – returns the quotient of x divided by • =x-y – returns the difference of x subtracted by y

The functions above are what we use in arithmetic operation and the table shown
on the next are the most useful functions when you need to compute large data.
And take note, don’t be confused on the formula. You’ll get used to it as you always
apply them when necessary. And DO NOT forget to place equal sign (=) first before
every statement. For example =A1+A2

FUNCTIONS, SYNTAX, AND FORMULA


FUNCTION NAME DESCRIPTION SYNTAX (FUNCTION ARGUMENTS) SAMPLE FORMULA
AVERAGE Returns the average of its
arguments. =AVERAGE(num1,[num2]) =AVERAGE(A1:A5)
or
=AVERAGE(cell range)
AVERAGEIF Finds the average for the
cells specified by a =AVERAGEIF(range,criteria, =AVERAGEIF(A1:A10,”P”,
condition or criteria. [average_range]) B1:B10)
COUNT Counts how many
numbers are in the list of =COUNTA(value1,[value2]) =COUNTA(E2:N3)
arguments.
COUNTIF Counts the number of cell
within a range that meet =COUNTIF(range,criteria) =COUNTIF(P4:P13,">=75")
the given criteria.
PRODUCT Multiplies its arguments =PRODUCT (A1:A5)
=PRODUCT(number12,[number2]) Or
=A1*A2*A3*A4*A5
DIFFERENCE/SUB Finds the difference from
TRACTION its argument =num1-num2 =num1-num2
QUOTIENT Returns the integer =QUOTIENT(number1,[number2]) =QUOTIENT(B1:B7)
portion of a division Or Or
=QUOTIENT(CELL RANGE) =A1/A2/A3/A4/A5
SUM Sum or Adds its =SUM(number1,[number2]) =SUM(A5:A8)
arguments. Or Or
=SUM(CELL RANGE) =A1+A2+A3+A4+A5

SUMIF Adds the cells specified =SUMIF(range,criteria, =SUMIF(P1:P8>=75,”PASSED”,


by a given criteria. [sum_range]) ”FAILED”)

IF FUNCTION Checks whether a


condition is met, and =IF(logical_test,[value_if_true], =IF(P4>=75,"PASSED","FAILED")
returns one value if True, [value_if_false])
and another value if
False.
