Define Worksheets and Workbooks
Spreadsheet ─ computerized equivalent of a ledger (a book for collecting financial information) Excel ─ a computerized spreadsheet
application used to build and manipulate worksheets and workbooks
Worksheet ─ a spreadsheet that may contain data, values, formulas, and/or charts
Workbook ─ a collection of related worksheets within one file

Using Spreadsheets Across Disciplines Spreadsheets have applications in varied
disciplines Used for business applications, such as
accounting Used for “what-if” analysis in business
planning Can also be used in scientific applications
Geologists can use to chart data about scientific phenomena
Social Scientists can use to predict voting results

Planning for Good Workbook and Worksheet Design Plan before you start entering data Steps to ensure a good design:
Decide on the purpose of the spreadsheet and how it will be constructed
Make it obvious where data is to be entered Enter data and set up formulas wherever possible
Allow Excel to do what it was designed for – automatic calculation
![Page 8: 1 1 Chapter 1: Introduction to Excel What Can I Do with a Spreadsheet Robert Grauer, Keith Mulbery,…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070616/5a4d1c017f8b9ab0599ef4fd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Planning for Good Workbook and Worksheet Design Test multiple times to make sure the results
are what you expect Know what your results should be, so that you know
your result is correct Format the worksheet so it looks appealing Document the worksheet as thoroughly as
possible Save and print the results

Identifying Excel Window Components Worksheet is divided into a grid of rows and
columns Rows are numbered; columns are lettered
Cell ─ an intersection of a column and a row Cell reference ─ the address of that
intersection Designated by column letter, then row number
Navigate worksheets using either the mouse or keyboard

Operator Symbols and Order Precedence Operator symbols include:
Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*), and Division (/), Exponentiation (^)
Order of Precedence controls the sequence in which arithmetic operations are performed: Basic rules – anything in parenthesis
performed first; then multiplication and division; then addition and subtraction
