What I Need to Know

Productivity Tools
It refers to the software that people use to create and produce documents,
presentations, databases, charts, and graphs.
Productivity tools helps you create professional quality documents,
presentation, graphics, and more.

Why should you learn productivity tools?

While there are a wide range of benefits of using productivity tools, the best
reason is that it just makes essential, everyday we use computer to do different task
for more efficient.

Common productivity tools

1. Microsoft word
2. Microsoft excel
3. Microsoft PowerPoint
4. LibreOffice

In this time, we have many options to use of to explore productivity software,

like LibreOffice, a Free and Open Source Productivity Suite, which matches and
perhaps could even exceed the overall features, advantages, and benefits of their
counterpart.

1
 Although, LibreOffice is a Free and Open Source software, most software
available in actual workplace are made from Microsoft. This software is a paid apps,
you can visit this site https://www.microsoft.com for more information.

In this module, we are going to learn the following tools/techniques:

Tools/Techniques Use Case

1. Mail Merge and label generation Mass email or printed letters

2. Custom animation and timing Enhance viewer experience

Optimizes use of related content and
3. Hyperlinking in presentations references. Applies to
Word/Write document too.

materials in word processor presentation slides and sometimes in
spreadsheets.

5. Embedded files and data Seamlessly integrates related files

6. Advanced and complex formulas
Simplifies and automates common tasks.
and computations

Mail Merge
It is a Word’s way of generating mass mailings. It involves combining a list of
names and addresses to individually address to each person / receiver on the list. You
can use Mail Merge to create envelopes or address labels, as well as form letters.

Mail Merged involved the following documents;

 Main document – this document contains text and graphics. Example body of
the letter.
 Mailing list – this is your data source that is used to populate information in the
letter. It contains names and address of the recipients.
 Merged document - this document the combination of the main document

Integrating Images
In Microsoft word processing you can do a lot of things to make your documents
look good and presentable. One of its function is to integrate image. Word processing
refers to an application program for manipulating text-based documents; the electronic
equivalent of paper, pen, typewriter, eraser, and most likely, dictionary and thesaurus.
Word processors run the scope from simple through complex, but all ease the tasks
associated with editing documents (deleting, inserting, rewording, and so on).

 What Is It

Electronic Spreadsheet

According to emerald.com electronic

spreadsheet is probably the most useful
general-purpose software for the
microcomputer user. Almost all
spreadsheets are now packaged in
combination with other applications, such
as database system and graphic
capabilities. Electronic spreadsheet refers
to a collection of text and numbers laid out in a Photo Credit: https://bit.ly/36Gzsdv
rectangular grid. It is an application program commonly used for budgeting, inventory
management, decision making, forecasting and other finance-related tasks.

It replaces the traditional financial modeling tools, the accountant’s columnar

pad, pencil and calculator. It a spreadsheet program, data and formulas used to
calculate those data are entered into ledge-like forms (Spreadsheets or Worksheets)
for analysis, tracking, planning, or “what-if” evaluations of the impact of real or
proposed changes on an economic strategy.

A great free alternative spreadsheet program is LibreOffice Calc, and

OpenOffice spreadsheet program.

Arithmetic operations

ARITHMETIC OPERATORS /SYMBOLS OPERATION EXAMPLE

+ (Plus Sign) Addition =A1+A2
- (Minus Sign) Subtraction =A1-A2
* (Asterisk) Multiplication =A1*A2
/ (Forward Slash) Division =A1/A2
Raises a no. to a
^ (Exponentiation) =3^2
power
- (Negation) Negative -11
% (Percent Sign) Percentage =90%

Formula – is an equation that performs operation on worksheet data. A formula

in Microsoft Excel always begins with an equal sign (=).

14
Common Error Values That You Can Encounter from Faulty Formulas

1. #DIV/0! appears when entering a formula that performs explicit division by

zero (0), using a reference to a blank cell or to a cell that contains zero as
the divisor in a formula or function that performs division or running a macro
that uses a function or a formula that returns the #DIV/0! error. The solution
is to make sure that the divisor in the function or formula is not zero (0) or
blank or change the cell reference in the formula to another cell that does not
contain a zero or a blank value.

2. ##### - appears when the column is not wide enough to display the content
and/or dates and times are negative numbers. The solution is to increase the
column width.

3. #NAME? Appears when the formula refers to a range name that doesn't
exist in the worksheet. This error value appears when you type the wrong
range name or fail to enclose in quotation marks some text used in the
formula, causing Excel to think that the text refers to a range name.

4. #N/A – appears when

A) an inappropriate value was given for the lookup_value

argument in the HLOOKUP, LOOKUP, MATCH, or VLOOKUP
worksheet function,
B) the VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, or MATCH worksheet function was
used to locate a value in an unsorted table,
C) an array formula (array formula: A formula that performs
multiple calculations on one or more sets of values, and then
returns either a single result or multiple results. Array formulas
are enclosed between braces { } and are entered by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.) is using an argument that is not the
same number of rows or columns as the range that contains
the array formula,
D) one or more required arguments were omitted from a built-in or
custom worksheet function,
E) a custom worksheet function that you use is not available and
F) a macro that you run enters a function that returns #N/A.

Solution is optionally, if error checking is turned on in Excel, click the

button that appears next to the cell that displays the error , click

15
 Show Calculation Steps if it appears, and then click the resolution
that is appropriate for your data.
5. #NULL! Appears most often when you insert a space (where you should
have used a comma) to separate cell references used as arguments for
functions.
6. #NUM! Appears when Excel encounters a problem with a number in the
formula, such as the wrong type of argument in an Excel function or a
calculation that produces a number too large or too small to be represented
in the worksheet.
7. #REF! Appears when Excel encounters an invalid cell reference, such as
when you delete a cell referred to in a formula or paste cells over the cells
referred to in a formula.
8. #VALUE! Appears when you use the wrong type of argument or operator in
a function, or when you call for a mathematical operation that refers to cells
that contain text entries. For example, the formula =A1+B1, where A1
contains the string "Hello" and B1 contains the number 3, returns the
#VALUE! error.

Order of Operations

EXCEL FORMULAS MEANING

=A12 Assigns the vale in cell A2 to the active cell.
=10 +3^2 Assigns the sum of 10 + 9(or 19) to the active cell.
=3*D5 or D5*3 or Assigns three times the contents of cell D5 to the
=(3*D5) active cell.
=50% * 20 Assigns the product of 0.50 times 20 (or 10) to the
active cell.
-(F3 * J25) Assigns the negative value of the product of the
values contained in cells F3 and J25 to the active
cell.
=6 * (G5-P7) Assigns the product of 6 times the difference
between the values contained in cells G5 and P7 to
the active cell.
=B4/D8-E3 * M10 +A3 Completes the following operations, from left to
^F3 right: exponentiation (A3^F3), then division (B4/D8 –
E3 * M10) + (A3 ^F3). If cells A3=2, F3=4, E3=6,
B4=3, M10=4, and D8=3, then Excel assigns the
active cell the value 18; that is, 3/3 – 6 * 4 + 2 ^ 4 =
-7
