1. Data Entry
 Spreadsheet programs provide a grid-like interface that allows users to enter and organize data in
rows and columns.
 Users can enter data by typing directly into a cell or by copying and pasting from other sources
such as text documents or other spreadsheets.
 Data can be entered as text, numbers, dates, times, or formulas, depending on the desired output.

2. Cell Sizing, merging, and height adjustment


 Cell sizing: users can adjust the width and height of individual cells to fit their content or to make
the spreadsheet more readable.
 Cell merging: users can merge two or more cells into a single cell to create headings or to group
related data.
 Height adjustment: users can adjust the row height to accommodate larger fonts or to provide
more space for cell content.

3. Calculations: Using the four basic Arithmetic Operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication,
and division)
 Users can perform calculations on data in cells using arithmetic operators.
 To perform a calculation, users enter an equal sign (=) into the cell followed by the arithmetic
expression.
 For example, "=A1+B1" would add the values in cells A1 and B1.

4. Functions: IF Sum, vlookup, hlookup, Averages; Count; Maximum and Minimum
 Functions are built-in formulas that perform specific calculations or tasks.
 IF function: allows users to test a condition and return one value if the condition is true and
another value if the condition is false.
 SUM function: adds up a range of cells.
 VLOOKUP function: looks up a value in a table and returns a corresponding value from the same
row.
 HLOOKUP function: looks up a value in a table and returns a corresponding value from the same
column.
 AVERAGE function: calculates the average of a range of cells.
 COUNT function: counts the number of cells in a range that contain numbers.
 MAX function: returns the highest value in a range of cells.
 MIN function: returns the lowest value in a range of cells.

5. Formula replication & Sorting


 Formula replication: users can copy and paste a formula to apply it to a range of cells
automatically.
 Sorting: users can sort data in ascending or descending order based on a specific column or row.

6. Creating charts based on given set of data


 Users can create charts to visualize data in a graphical format.
 Charts can be created from a range of cells by selecting the data and choosing a chart type.
 Common chart types include column charts, line charts, pie charts, and bar charts.

7. Formatting charts- titles, and labels


 Users can format charts by adding titles, labels, and other visual elements to make the chart easier
to read and understand.
 Titles can be added to the chart itself, as well as to the X and Y axes.
 Labels can be added to individual data points or categories to provide additional information.

8. Reveal formulas
 Users can reveal the formulas used in a cell to understand how a calculation was performed.
 This can be done by selecting the cell and looking at the formula bar at the top of the screen.
 Users can also use a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + `) to toggle between the formula view and the
value view.

9. Saving and Printing


 Users can save their spreadsheet as a file on their computer or in the cloud.
 Most spreadsheet programs also allow users to print their spreadsheet, either in its entirety or a
selected range of cells.
 Before printing, users can adjust settings such as margins, page orientation, and scaling to ensure
the spreadsheet fits on the printed page.
