EXCEL DAY 1

 ALPHANUMERIC
 CELL POINTER – ACTIVE CELL
 SELECT ALL CELLS TO DRAG AND A SPECIFIC PATTERN IS DISPLAYED. (DIFF)
 Q1-Q4 (QUARTERS)
 EQUAL TO (=) CALCULATION
 CAN’T APPLY FORMULA TO MERGED CELLS
 MERGED CELLS IS DANGEROUS
 DON’T USE MERGED CELLS FOR THE DATA
 EXCEL IS MOST DANGEROUS IN US
 USE TAB KEY TO COMPLETE THE FORMULA
 COLUMNWISE DRAG- LEFT TO RIGHT
 RELATIVE REFERENCE – WHILE DRAGGING, IT OBTAINS THE FORMULA REFERENCE
AUTOMATICALLY. INBUILT IN EXCEL.
 CTRL + D/R – APPLY FORMULA TO DOWN AND RIGHT
 CTRL + B – BOLD
 USE ONENOTE FOR NOTES
 Screen CLIPPING IN ONENOTE FOR SCREENSHOT
 PAGE TEMPLATES IN ONENOTE
 Copy data from scanned pdf from onenote USING SCREEN CLIPPING
 OPEN PDF FROM WORD TO EDIT IT. THEN THE FILE GETS SAVED AS PDF
 TO LOCK THE ROW/COLUMN, USE $.
 ABSOLUTE REFERENCE – WHILE DRAGGING, IT WON’T OBTAIN THE FORMULA
REFERENCE.
 $ IS IMPORTANT TO LOCK. (F4)
 ONLY TOTAL HAS TO BE LOCKED.
 CIRCULAR REFERENCING – REFER OTHER CELLS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.
 SHORTCUTS ARE IMPORTANT.
 CTRL + UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT
 CTRL + SHIFT + UP/DOWN/L/R
  BLANK CELL STOPS THE SHORTCUT.
 BLANK CELL REFERS TO A BREAK
 SHORTCUTS ARE DANGEROUS.
 CTRL + SHIFT + L – APPLY FILTER
 CTRL + BACKSPACE – ACTIVE CELL
 FIND IS IMPORTANT. (COPY>GO>FIND>PASTE) – VLOOKUP FORMULA
 EXCEL – 1985
 LOTUS123 – IBM -1982
 EXCEL – END USER REQUIREMENT
 VLOOKUP FORMULA (VERTICAL) (MAXIMUM)
 VLOOKUP – MATCH AND RETRIEVE THE CORRESPONDING VALUE.

=VLOOKUP(LOOKUPVALUE,TABLERANGE(PRESS F4),COLUMN_INDEX_NUM,0)

0 – FALSE – EXACT MATCH

1 – TRUE -APPROXIMATE MATCH (LOOKUP TABLE SHOULD BE IN ASCENDING ORDER)

 DOUBLE LEFT CLICK ON THE CORNER TO FILL UP THE ENTIRE TABLE.

 START WITH THE LOOKUP VALUE ROW AND COLUMN.
 DRAWBACKS OF VLOOKUP-
1. IF MULTIPLE TIMES, FIRST VALUE IS TAKEN.
2. CAN’T RETRIEVE THE LEFT SIDE VALUES.
 CUT + PASTE
 FOR VLOOKUP, ASCENDING ORDER – APPROX MATCH
 HLOOKUP (HORIZONTAL)
 AUTOMATICALLY IT WILL COME BACK. DON’T DO MANUALLY.
 IF U SELECT SOMETHING FROM DIFFERENT FILE, $ SIGN COMES AUTOMATICALLY.
 CONDITIONAL FORMATTING -
 PARTIAL MATCH = TEXT THAT CONTAINS
 EXACT MATCH = EQUAL TO
 CLEAR RULES
 MANAGE RULES
 MOVE UP > STOP IF TRUE
 DATA BARS
 ICON SETS (EDIT RULE)
 ALT + = GIVES THE AUTOSUM OF COLUMNS
 ALT + = (EXTRA ROW AND COLUMN) GIVES THE AUTOSUM OF ROWS
 SELECT RANGE. ALT + ; . COPY > PASTE
 SELECT RANGE. PRESS F5. SPECIAL. VISIBLE CELLS ONLY. COPY PASTE

 FIND AND REPLACE IMPACTS THE DATA IMMEDIATELY.

 IT IS A CRITICAL AND A DANGEROUS OPTION IN EXCEL.
 CTRL + F – FIND
 MARK MATCH ENTIRE CELL CONTENTS.
 SORTING – SORT > CUSTOM SORT > CUSTOM LIST > JAN,FEB,MAR
 FOR DATE – ADD LEVEL > DATE > OK > SET THE NUMBERS
 CHART - DELETE THE HEADER FOR THE FIRST COLUMN. THEN INSERT THE COLUMN
CHART. THAT HEADER WILL BE OUR X AXIS.
 COUNT FORMULA ONLY COUNTS THE NUMBERS.
 COUNTA - BOTH LETTERS AND NUMBERS
 COUNTBLANK – COUNT ONLY BLANKS.
 FOR THE FORMULA, DON’T SELECT THE HEADER. SELECT ONLY THE CONTENT
 SUM, AVERAGE, MAX, MIN, COUNT, COUNTA, COUNTBLANK, COUNTIF
 COUNTIF (RANGE, CRITERIA)
 TEXT SHOULD BE IN DOUBLE QUOTES. TEXT IS NOT CASE SENSITIVE.
 UPPER, LOWER, PROPER
 LEN – LENGTH
 TRIM
 CONCATENATE
 =CONCATENATE(A1, “ ”, B1)
 =A1&” “&B1
 PASTE SPECIAL – CTRL + ALT + V
 UPPERCASE: COPY>UPPER>PASTE>COPY>PASTE SPECIAL> VALUES> OK
 LEFT, RIGHT, MID
 DATA> TEXT TO COLUMNS> DELIMITED> NEXT> SEMICOLON> NEXT> FINISH
 FLASH FILL: SUGGESTIONS
 DATA> FLASH FILL
 QUICK ANALYSIS
 APPLY FILTER IN CHARTS
 PPT – DESIGN – DESIGN IDEAS
 IDEAS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND USEFUL IN MS 2019.
 FOR TABLE FORMAT, THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL MENU.
 TABLE REFERENCE – AUTOMATICALLY IT APPLIES TO ALL THE COLUMNS
 AUTOMATICALLY THE TOTAL DATA GETS UPDATED.
 TABLE IS VERY IMPORTANT AND POWERFUL. USE TABLES WHEREVER POSSIBLE.
(200 MARKS)
 CTRL + T – TABLE
 PAGE DOWN – DISPLAYS THE HEADERS IN THE TABLE.
 AFTER CREATING A TABLE, GIVE A NAME TO IT
 SUM> SELECT THE DATA> PRESS ENTER.
 SQUARE BRACKET FETCHES ALL THE COLUMNS.
 =SUM(PRODUCTION [TOTAL])
