Microsoft Office – Excel 2010
This is a worksheet. Multiple worksheets make up a workbook.The default is three worksheets to start.
A worksheet is made of column and rows. Columns are designated with alpha characters.Rows are designated with numerals.The intersection creates a cell.The cell address is always Column-Row, A1.

The change form Excel 97 – 2003 is the menus.Excel 97-2003 had Drop Down menus.Excel 2010 has tabs.Each of the tabs still has the tools needed.

A cell in a spreadsheet can hold three types of data – Text, numbers, formulas

You can format a cell or the worksheet.You change the appearance but not the formula itself.
Cell value vs. cell appearance

Formulas and functions• Formulas are a sequence of
values, cell references, names, functions, or operators in a cell that together produce a new value.
• A formula in Excel always begins with an equal sign (=); Lotus is an at sign (@)
• Functions do NOT stand own their own. They are powerful things you use in your formulas.
![Page 11: Introduction to Spreadsheets](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161d1550346895dd1c8d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Formulas
• Just entering numbers not best practice
• Data can change but the answer will not recalculate
• Building user-defined formulas, built-in functions best practice
• Data changes, spreadsheet will automatically recalculate answer
![Page 12: Introduction to Spreadsheets](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161d1550346895dd1c8d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Formula A – not best practiceif data changes does not automatically recalculate
![Page 13: Introduction to Spreadsheets](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161d1550346895dd1c8d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Formula B – user-defined using relative references, good practice
Relative references
![Page 14: Introduction to Spreadsheets](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161d1550346895dd1c8d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Formula C – using built-in functionfunctions found in Formulas tab, best practice
![Page 15: Introduction to Spreadsheets](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161d1550346895dd1c8d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Relative and Absolute references• A relative cell reference in a
formula is based on the relative position of the cell that contains the formula and the cell the reference refers to.
• If the position of the cell that contains the formula changes, the reference is changed.
• Relative reference - A1
• An absolute cell reference in a formula always refers to a cell in a specific location.
• If the position of the cell that contains the formula changes, the absolute reference remains the same.
• If you copy or fill the formula across rows or down columns, the absolute reference does not adjust.
• Absolute reference - $A$1

Can use Autofit Column Width but the entire column is widened.

Charts• Charts are often used to ease
understanding of large quantities of data and the relationships between parts of the data.
• Charts can usually be read more quickly than the raw data that they are produced from.
• They are used in a wide variety of fields, and can be created by hand (often on graph paper) or by computer using a charting application.
• Certain types of charts are more useful for presenting a given data set than others.
• For example, data that presents percentages in different groups (such as "satisfied, not satisfied, and unsure") are often displayed in a pie chart, but may be more easily understood when presented in a horizontal bar chart.
• On the other hand, data that represents numbers that change over a period of time (such as "annual revenue from 1990 to 2000") might be best shown as a line chart.

Chart elements
• All charts have some elements in common, including:– Data Range– X & Y Axes– Upper & Lower Bounds– Labels– Graph Type
Label A Label BLabel 1 23 54Label 2 59 25Label 3 82 98Label 4 62 54
![Page 27: Introduction to Spreadsheets](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568161d1550346895dd1c8d5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Chart Elements (cont’d)
• Data Range - The graph is a pictorial interpretation of data. Generally, you will create a spreadsheet that holds or generates some type of data, and then use the graph to illustrate the data. When you define a graph, you will need some way to explain the data being depicted. You can always select the data you want from a spreadsheet range.
• X and Y Axes - The X axis is the horizontal border of the chart. The Y axis is the vertical border. Most spreadsheet programs try to guess what data you want plotted as the X axis and what data you want as the Y axis. If the graph looks completely wrong, you might want to look for some kind of feature that allows you to change the X - Y orientation.
• Upper and Lower Bounds - You might want to specify the upper and lower limits of the axes. The program will usually try to guess what you want, but you may still need to modify it.
• Labels - There will usually be an option for setting or changing the labels on a graph. This will allow you to put informative labels on the graph to make it easier to read. At the minimum, you should label the X and Y axes.
• Graph Type - You have the option to select/change the type of graph that is displayed. The chart type should be chosen carefully and is dependent on the data to be displayed.

Chart types
• Common chart types– Column– Bar– Pie – Line
• Other types– Scatter– Doughnut– Bubble– Radar– Surface– Stock– Area

Column/Bar ChartsColumn/Bar• Charts a series of values across a set of
categories using vertical columns or horizontal bars
• Illustrate a single data set or compare values of multiple data sets across same set of categories
• Used in Univariate analysis• Data represented as vertical columns or
horizontal bars that run from 0 to the value of the datum.
• The height of a column corresponds to the magnitude of the datum.
• values are on the y-axis for a column chart and the x-axis in a bar chart. Opposite axis contains data labels only.
• You may chart multiple data series in a single chart for comparison purposes.

Line ChartLine• Charts a series of values across a set
of categories as points connected by a line
• Illustrate one more more trends over time (i.e. categories should be a unit of time such as hours, days, months, years, and so on)
• Used in Univariate analysis• Data represented as single-valued
points.• Data values are on the y-axis. X-axis
contains data labels only.• Best used for showing a trend over a
given period of time.

Pie chartPie• Charts a series of values as a
percentage of the whole• Illustrate the contribution of each
value in the data set to a total. Number of values in the data set should be minimal (approximately less than 10)
• Used in Univariate analysis• Data represented as an area in a circle
expressed as a percentage of a whole.• Number of categories should be kept
to a minimum (<10).• “Other” category should represent a
small percentage (if used).
