- 2. WHAT IS MICROSOFT EXCEL? The spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel was created by Microsoft and is available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and iPadOS. Additionally, it has pivot tables, graphing tools, calculating or computation capabilities, and the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro programming language. Microsoft 365 includes Excel as one of its applications.
- 3. MICROSOFT EXCEL PURPOSE AND FUNCTON Data formatting, organization, and calculation are all made possible by Microsoft Excel. Data analysts and other users can make information easier to examine as data is added to or updated by organizing data using tools like Excel.
- 4. PARTS OF MICROSOFT EXCEL 1. ACTIVE CELL 7. TITLE BAR 2. COLUMN 8. FILE MENU 3. ROW 9. QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR 4. FILL HANDLE 10. RIBBON 5. ADDRESS BAR 11. WORKSHEET TAB 6. FORMULA BAR 12. STATUS BAR
- 5. ACTIVE CELL - The active cell is the selected cell in which data is entered when you begin typing.
- 6. COLUMN •-A column in Excel is a vertical alignment of cells. Each column has its unique address, which is labeled as an alphabet (from A to XFD). And there are more than one million cells in a single column and there are a total of 16384 columns that you have in a single worksheet..
- 7. ROW • -A row in Excel is a horizontal alignment of cells and it runs from left to right across the worksheet. Each row is identified by the unique number on its left side from where it started. The total number of rows you have in a single sheet is 1,048,576.
- 8. FILL HANDLE •The Fill Handle is an Excel feature that enables us to bypass the copy and paste of each value into cells and uses patterns instead of filling out the information.
- 9. ADDRESS BAR • Address Bar The address bar is the small input bar at the left side of the window. It shows the address of the active cell. If you have selected more than one cell, then it will show the address of the first cell in the range. #
- 10. FORMULA BAR •The formula bar in Excel is located next to the name box and above the worksheet area. It displays the data stored in the active cell. The formula bar is used to view, enter, and edit values and formulas in cells.
- 11. TITLE BAR •Title bar. The title bar displays both the name of the application and the name of the spreadsheet.
- 12. FILE MENU • The File menu is the leftmost item in the Excel ribbon. The File ribbon items enable you to perform file management functions, including open, save, close, and print. You also use the File menu to import from external sources into Excel, along with options that allow you to tweak Excel itself.
- 13. QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR • The Quick Access Toolbar is a collection of shortcuts to the features, options, commands, or option groups that you use frequently. By default, the toolbar is hidden below the ribbon in Microsoft 365 apps, but you can choose to show it and move it to display above the ribbon instead.
- 14. RIBBON •Microsoft Excel ribbon is the row of tabs and icons at the top of the Excel window that allows you to quickly find, understand and use commands for completing a certain task. It looks like a kind of complex toolbar, which it actually is.
- 15. WORKSHEET TAB • The worksheet tabs in Excel are rectangular tabs visible on the bottom left of the Excel workbook. The “Activate” tab shows the active worksheet available to edit. By default, there can be three worksheet tabs opened. We can insert more tabs in the worksheet using the plus buttonprovided at the end of the tabs.
- 16. STATUS BAR •The status bar is a name for the lower edge of the worksheet window, which displays various information about an Excel worksheet. The status bar can be configured to display things like sum, count, and average of the currently selected cells.
- 17. SOME IMPORTANT EXCEL FORMULAS INCLUDE • - SUM: the SUM formula adds the values in a range of cell. • - AVERAGE: the AVERAGE formula averages the values in a range of cell. • - COUNT: the COUNT formula calculates the quantity of cells that hold numeric values within a designated range of cell. • - VLOOKUP: the VLOOKUP formula searches for a value in a table and returns the corresponding value from another column in the table.
- 18. sum •As you can see above, to find the total amount of sales for every unit, we had to simply type in the function “=SUM(C2:C4)”. This automatically adds up 300, 385, and 480. The result is stored in C5.
- 19. average • As seen from the below example, to find the avg of the total sales, you have to simply type in: it automatically calculates the average, and you can store the result in your desired location.
- 20. count • It does not include the cell, which is blank, and the ones that hold data in any other format apart from numeric. As seen above, here, we are counting from C1 to C4, ideally four cells. But since the COUNT function takes only the cells with numerical values into consideration, the answer is 3 as the cell containing “Total Sales” is omitted here. If you are required to count all the cells with numerical values, text, and any other data format, you must use the function ‘COUNTA()’. However, COUNTA() does not count any blank cells. To count the number of blank cells present in a range of cells, COUNTBLANK() is used.
- 21. VLOOKUP •If you wanted to find the department to which Stuart belongs, you could use the VLOOKUP function as shown below:
- 22. If you hit enter, it will return “Marketing”, indicating that Stuart is from the marketing department. Here, A11 cell has the lookup value, A2: E7 is the table array, 3 is the column index number with information about departments, and 0 is the range lookup.
