LAUNCH/START SPREAD SHEET PROGRAM.

Step-by-step process to start Microsoft Excel on a Windows computer.


1. Click the Start Menu:
 Go to the bottom-left corner of the screen and click on the Start button (Windows logo).

2. Search for Excel:


 In the search bar, type Excel. You should see Microsoft Excel appear in the search results.

3. Open Excel:
 Click on Microsoft Excel in the search results to open the program.

key parts of a spreadsheet program interface, such as in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, and their
functions:
1. Quick Access Toolbar
This toolbar is located in the upper left corner of the screen. Its objective is to show the most frequently
used Excel commands. We can customize this toolbar based on our preferred commands.
2. File Tab
Excel 2007's Office button has been replaced by the File tab. We can click it to check the Backstage view,
where we can open or save files, create new sheets, print sheets, and perform other file-related
operations.
3. Title Bar
The title bar of the spreadsheet is at the top of the window. It displays the active document's name.
4. Control Buttons
Control buttons are the symbols that are present in the upper-right side of the window, enabling us to
change the labels, minimize, maximize, share, and close the sheet.

5. Menu Bar
Under the diskette or save icon or the excel icon (this will depend on the version of the program), labels or bars which enable changing the
sheet which is shown. These are the menu bar and contain a File, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, Review, View, Help, and a Search Bar
with a light bulb icon. These menus are divided into subcategories which simplify the distribution of information and analysis of
calculations.
6. Ribbon/Toolbar
Each menu bar contains several different elements. On the selection of the menu, a sequence of command options/icons will show on a
ribbon. For example, if we select the "Home" tab, we will see cut, copy, paste, bold, italic, underline, and more commands. In the same
way; we can click on the "Insert" tab, we will see tables, illustrations, additional, recommended graphics, graphics maps, among others. On
the other hand, if we select the "Formulas" option. Insert functions, auto sum recently used, finances, logic, text, time, date, etc.
Ribbon/Toolbar is a set of commands organized into three sections.
 Tabs
They are the Ribbon's top part, and they include groups of related commands. Ribbon tabs include Home, Insert, Page Layout,
Formula, Data.
 Groups
They organize related commands; the name of each group is displayed below the Ribbon. For example, a set of commands related
to fonts or a group of commands related to alignment, etc.
 Commands
They appear within each group, as previously stated.

7. Dialog Box Launcher
Dialog box launcher is a very little down arrow that is present in the lower-right corner of a command group
on the Ribbon. By clicking on this arrow, we can explore more options related to the concerned group.
8. Name box
Show the location of the active cell, row, or column. We have the option of selecting multiple options.
9. Formula Bar
Formula bar permits us to observe, insert or edit the information/formula entered in the active cell.
10. Scrollbars
Scrollbars are the tools that enable us to move the document's vertical and horizontal views. We can activate
this by clicking on the platform's internal bar or the arrows we have on the sides. Additionally, we can use the
mouse wheel in order to automatically scroll up or down: or use the directional keys.
11. Spreadsheet Area
It is the place where we enter our data. It includes all the rows, cells, columns, and built-in data in the
spreadsheet. We can use shortcuts to perform toolbar activities or formulas of arithmetic operations (add,
subtract, multiply, etc.). The insertion point is the blinking vertical bar known as the "cursor." It specifies the
insertion location of the typing.

12. Leaf Bar


Leaf bar is present at the bottom of the spreadsheet, which says sheet1 is shown. This sheet
bar describes the spreadsheet which is currently being worked on. Using this, we can
alternate a number of sheets or add a new one as per our convenience.
13. Columns Bar
Columns are a vertically ordered series of boxes across the full sheet. This column bar is
located below the formula bar. The letters of the alphabet are used to label the columns.
Begin with the letter A to Z, and then after Z, it will continue as AA, AB, and so on. The
number of columns that can be used is limited to 16,384.
14. Rows Bar
The row bar is the left part of the sheet where a sequence of numbers is expressed. Begin
with number one (1), and further rows will be added as we move the pointer down. There are
a total of 1,048,576 rows available.

15. Cells
Cells are those parallelepipeds that divide the spreadsheet into many pieces, separating rows
and columns. A spreadsheet's first cell is represented by the first letter of the alphabet and
the number one (A1).
16. Status Bar
The status bar is present at the bottom of the window that displays critical information. It also
indicates whether something is incorrect or whether the document is ready to be printed or
delivered.
This shows the result of the selected digits such as sum, average, count, maximum,
minimum, etc.
By right-clicking on the status bar, we can configure the status bar. Any command from the
specified list can be added or removed.

17. View Buttons
View buttons are a set of three buttons arranged at the left of the Zoom control, close the screen's right-
bottom corner. We can see three different kinds of sheet views in Excel using this method.
Normal View: - Normal view displays the Excel page in normal view.
Page Layout View: - The Page Layout view shows the precise layout of an Excel page it will be printed.
Page Break View: - This displays page break preview before printing.
18. Zoom Control
The zoom control is present at the lower-right side of the window. It enables us to ZOOM-IN or ZOOM-
OUT a specific area of the spreadsheet. It is represented by magnifying icons with the symbols of
maximizing (+) or minimizing (-).
The various modern versions contain a segment with the icons of more and less, as well as an element
that separates the two alternatives, which permits us to manipulate them by clicking on any of these.
On the other side, it also explains in percentage how many times the document has been moved or
approached. Microsoft Excel 2019 enables us to zoom out up to 10% and zoom up to 400%.

PERFORM BASIC CALCULATIONS IN WORKSHEETS (USE
OPERATORS AND FUNCTIONS TO PERFORM CALCULATIONS)

 To perform basic calculations in worksheets using operators and functions, here are some steps
and examples using Excel (or similar spreadsheet software):
Basic Calculations Using Operators
1. Addition (+): To add numbers, you can use the + operator.
 Example: =A1 + B1This adds the value in cell A1 to the value in cell B1.

2. Subtraction (-):To subtract numbers, use the - operator.


 Example: =A1 - B1This subtracts the value in cell B1 from the value in cell A1.

3. Multiplication (*):To multiply numbers, use the * operator.


 Example: =A1 * B1This multiplies the value in cell A1 by the value in cell B1.

4. Division (/):To divide numbers, use the / operator.


 Example: =A1 / B1This divides the value in cell A1 by the value in cell B1.

5. Exponentiation (^):To calculate powers, use the ^ operator.


 Example: =A1^B1This raises the value in cell A1 to the power of the value in cell B1.

AND FUNCTIONS TO PERFORM CALCULATIONS) CONTS…

Using Functions for Calculations


1. SUM Function: To add a range of numbers, use the SUM() function.
 Example: =SUM(A1:A5)This adds all values from A1 to A5.

2. AVERAGE Function: To calculate the average of a range of numbers, use the AVERAGE() function.
 Example: =AVERAGE(A1:A5)This calculates the average of the values in cells A1 to A5.

3. MIN and MAX Functions: To find the smallest or largest number in a range, use MIN() or MAX().
 Example: =MIN(A1:A5)This returns the smallest value in the range from A1 to A5.Example: =MAX(A1:A5)This
returns the largest value in the range from A1 to A5.
4. IF Function: To perform conditional calculations, use the IF() function.
 Example: =IF(A1>10, "Greater", "Lesser")This checks if the value in A1 is greater than 10. If true, it returns
"Greater"; otherwise, it returns "Lesser".
5. ROUND Function: To round numbers to a specific number of decimal places, use the ROUND()
function.
 Example: =ROUND(A1, 2)This rounds the value in A1 to 2 decimal places.
MANIPULATE WORKSHEET DATA (SORT, FILTER AND
SUBTOTAL) WORK WITH CHARTS (INSERT A CHART, FORMAT
