Review of the Basics
A spreadsheet program The Name Box The cell, cell range, and simple functions
Order of mathematical equations
![Page 4: Microsoft Excel for Poverty Law Advocates: Intermediate Gabrielle Hammond LSNTAP.Org](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814503550346895db1cd42/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Starting Simple: Cell References and Cell Ranges
In the Name Box, the cell location is referenced.
Next to the Name Box is the Insert Function bar. Formulas are denoted by the EQUALS sign “=“.
A cell reference is a group of cells you designate, usually with a colon. Example: =B1:B5
![Page 5: Microsoft Excel for Poverty Law Advocates: Intermediate Gabrielle Hammond LSNTAP.Org](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814503550346895db1cd42/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Remember Simple Functions
= is key to recognize all characters thereafter as a formula
: is a range (B1 through B5) , indicates only the cells on either side of the comma: (B1 only and B5 only, not B2, B3, or B4)
SUM AVERAGE

Remembering Simple Equations
B1+B5 Addition B1-B5 Subtraction B1*B5 Multiplication B1/B5 Division B1%B5 Percentage B1^B6 Exponential Equations

Name that Cell Reference!
The cell in Column A and Row 1 A1 The range of cells in Col A and Rows 10 thru 20
A10:20 The range of cells in Row 15 and Cols B thru E
B15:E15

Name that Cell Reference!
All cells in Row 5 5:5 All cells in Rows 5 - 10 5:10 All cells in Column H thru J H:J Range of cells in Col A thru E, rows 10 thru 20
A10:E20

Topic 1: To Rename or Move, Right-Click.
![Page 12: Microsoft Excel for Poverty Law Advocates: Intermediate Gabrielle Hammond LSNTAP.Org](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814503550346895db1cd42/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Topic 1: Shortcuts
You can also move a worksheet by dragging and dropping the tabs
You can rename by double-clicking a tab and then when the name is highlighted you type the new name
![Page 13: Microsoft Excel for Poverty Law Advocates: Intermediate Gabrielle Hammond LSNTAP.Org](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814503550346895db1cd42/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Topic 1: Why Multiple Worksheets?
Group Important Data in one File
Worksheets refer to each other: Link them together.
Example: The State of Colorado Child Support Spreadsheet creates a pleading from data entered by the plaintiff
![Page 14: Microsoft Excel for Poverty Law Advocates: Intermediate Gabrielle Hammond LSNTAP.Org](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814503550346895db1cd42/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Topic 1:Create Cross Reference btw Worksheets
Move the cursor to the desired cell on the other sheet, type = and select the cell you want referenced.
OR, USE CODE: =sheetname!cell reference; for example =Gabrielle!B13

Relative v. Fixed Values
Relative is the default. Relative:
Copies formulas across a worksheet, but does not copy a fixed value in a static cell.
Absolute: Copies a specific cell reference and its value to other cells.
![Page 34: Microsoft Excel for Poverty Law Advocates: Intermediate Gabrielle Hammond LSNTAP.Org](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814503550346895db1cd42/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Relative References
Think of compound interest….
Every cell will be changed relative to the prior cell.
![Page 35: Microsoft Excel for Poverty Law Advocates: Intermediate Gabrielle Hammond LSNTAP.Org](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814503550346895db1cd42/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Fixed or Absolute Values
Every cell is changed according to the original formula / value.
Think of simple interest…
![Page 36: Microsoft Excel for Poverty Law Advocates: Intermediate Gabrielle Hammond LSNTAP.Org](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814503550346895db1cd42/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
