I. INTRODUCTION

CONCEPT NOTES / ESSENTIAL IDEAS

Advanced Techniques using Microsoft Excel

What is spreadsheet?

It is a software application that enables a user to save, sort and manage data in an arranged form of rows and
columns.

Beyond arithmetic operations, spreadsheets provide invaluable tools such as functions that are very useful in
calculating data. As a result, spreadsheets have become one of the widely used software programs, and MS Excel is
the most commonly used spreadsheet tool. Spreadsheets can be used to determine statistical analysis, compute
student’s grades, keep track business accounts and inventories, and manage databases. Spreadsheets are made up of
the following:

 Columns – identified with alphabetic headings

 Rows - identified with numeric headings
  Cells – are the intersection of rows and columns. A single rectangle in a spreadsheet is called a Cell
 Active Cell – the currently selected cell in a spreadsheet and is indicated by a bold outline that surrounds the
cell. In the example below, B3 is the active cell.

 Texts or labels – It identifies the purpose of a cell, it can be a brief instruction, a title or caption.
 Number data or constant – a value that doesn’t change and is directly inserted into a cell.
 Formula (mathematical equations) – an expression that calculates the value of a cell.
 Mathematical Operators – MS Excel uses standard operators for formulas.
 Functions- These are pre-defined formulas that are already available in MS Excel.
Examples of Formula

Note: A formula always begin with an equal (=) sign.

Commonly Used Excel Functions

 SUM – Adds all the numbers in a range of cells.

 COUNT - Counts the number of cells that contain numbers.

 MIN - Returns the smallest number in a set of values.

 MAX - Returns the largest value in a set of values.

 AVERAGE - Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of the arguments.
