Q-1) Describe The Step Of Developing Pivot Table .
To Create a Pivot Table : -

1. Enter your data into a range of rows and columns.

2. Sort your data by a specific attribute.

3. Highlight your cells to create your pivot table.

4. Drag and drop a field into the "Row Labels" area.

5. Drag and drop a field into the "Values" area.

6. Fine-tune your calculations.

Now that you have a better sense of what pivot tables can be used for, let's get
into the nitty-gritty of how to actually create one.

Step 1. Enter your data into a range of rows and columns.

Every pivot table in Excel starts with a basic Excel table, where all your data is
housed. To create this table, simply enter your values into a specific set of rows
and columns. Use the topmost row or the topmost column to categorize your
values by what they represent.

For example, to create an Excel table of blog post performance data, you might
have a column listing each "Top Pages," a column listing each URL's "Clicks,"
a column listing each post's "Impressions," and so on. (We'll be using that
example in the steps that follow.)

Step 2. Sort your data by a specific attribute.

When you have all the data you want entered into your Excel sheet, you'll want
to sort this data in some way so it's easier to manage once you turn it into a
pivot table.

To sort your data, click the Data tab in the top navigation bar and select
the Sort icon underneath it. In the window that appears, you can opt to sort your
data by any column you want and in any order.
For example, to sort your Excel sheet by "Views to Date," select this column
title under Column and then select whether you want to order your posts from
smallest to largest, or from largest to smallest.
Select OK on the bottom-right of the Sort window, and you'll successfully
reorder each row of your Excel sheet by the number of views each blog post has
received.

Step 3. Highlight your cells to create your pivot table.


Once you've entered data into your Excel worksheet, and sorted it to your
liking, highlight the cells you'd like to summarize in a pivot table.
Click Insert along the top navigation, and select the PivotTable icon. You can
also click anywhere in your worksheet, select "PivotTable," and manually enter
the range of cells you'd like included in the PivotTable.
This will open an option box where, in addition to setting your cell range, you
can select whether or not to launch this pivot table in a new worksheet or keep it
in the existing worksheet. If you open a new sheet, you can navigate to and
away from it at the bottom of your Excel workbook. Once you've chosen,
click OK.
Alternatively, you can highlight your cells, select Recommended
PivotTables to the right of the PivotTable icon, and open a pivot table with pre-
set suggestions for how to organize each row and column.
Note: If you're using an earlier version of Excel, "PivotTables" may be
under Tables or Data along the top navigation, rather than "Insert." In Google
Sheets, you can create pivot tables from the Data dropdown along the top
navigation.
Step 4. Drag and drop a field into the "Row Labels" area.
After you've completed Step 3, Excel will create a blank pivot table for you.
Your next step is to drag and drop a field — labeled according to the names of
the columns in your spreadsheet — into the Row Labels area. This will
determine what unique identifier — blog post title, product name, and so on —
the pivot table will organize your data by.

For example, let's say you want to organize a bunch of blogging data by post
title. To do that, you'd simply click and drag the “Top pages” field to the "Row
Labels" area.

Note: Your pivot table may look different depending on which version of Excel
you're working with. However, the general principles remain the same.
Step 5. Drag and drop a field into the "Values" area.
Once you've established what you're going to organize your data by, your next
step is to add in some values by dragging a field into the Values area.

Sticking with the blogging data example, let's say you want to summarize blog
post views by title. To do this, you'd simply drag the "Views" field into the
Values area.

Step 6. Fine-tune your calculations.

The sum of a particular value will be calculated by default, but you can easily
change this to something like average, maximum, or minimum depending on
what you want to calculate.

On a Mac, you can do this by clicking on the small i next to a value in the
"Values" area, selecting the option you want, and clicking "OK." Once you’ve
made your selection, your pivot table will be updated accordingly.
If you're using a PC, you'll need to click on the small upside-down triangle next
to your value and select Value Field Settings to access the menu.

When you’ve categorized your data to your liking, save your work and use it as
you please.

Q-2) Write The Method Of Editing Excel Cell.


There are different ways to edit data in a cell.

 Edit the cell’s contents.


 Delete the cell’s contents.
 Replace the cell’s contents with something else.

Editing the contents of a cell

If you want to make any change in the existing data in a cell, you can edit cell
data. When you want to edit the contents of a cell you can use one of the
following ways to enter cell- edit mode:

 Double- click the cell to edit the cell contents directly in the cell and it
will enable the edit mode
 Select the cell and press F2 to edit the cell contents.
 Select the cell that you want to edit and then click inside the formula bar
to edit the cell contents in the formula bar.
All the above mentioned method will allow you to edit data in the cell.
You can use whichever method you prefer. When you enter in to edit mode,
status bar will show the status as “Edit” in the bottom of the screen.

When Excel is in edit mode, the formula bar enables two icon: Cancel and
Enter. Below figure shows these two ikons. Clicking the cancel icon cancels
editing without changing the cell’s contents. Clicking the enter icon completes
the editing and enters the modified contents into the cell.

By pressing home key you can move the insertion point to the beginning of the
cell, by pressing End Key you can move the insertion point to the end of the
cell

Deleting the contents of a cell

To delete the contents of a cell, just click the cell and press the delete key. To
delete more than one cell, select a range of cells that you want to delete and then
press Delete. Pressing delete removes the cell’s contents but doesn’t delete
cells and any formatting applied to the cell.

The other way to delete the contents of cell with more options is to choose
Home>Clear command.
This will give five options like Clear all, Clear formats, Clear contents, Clear
comments, Clear hyperlinks.
Replacing the contents of a cell
You can replace the contents of the cell by just selecting a cell and entering the
data, which will replace the existing data. This will not change any formatting
of the cell. The cell content can also be replaced by drag and drop or by pasting
data from the clipboard. In both cases, the cell formatting will be replaced by the
format of the new data.

Q-3) How To Create A Scenario Summary Report.

To create a Scenario Summary report:


Follow these steps to create a Scenario Summary report:

 On the Ribbon's Data tab, in the Data Tools group, click What-If
Analysis
 Click the drop down arrow, and click Scenario Manager

The Scenario Manager dialog box opens, where you can see a list with each
Scenario name.
To create the Scenario Summary, follow these steps:

 At the right side of the Scenario Manager, click the Summary button
 In the Scenario Summary dialog box, for Report type, select Scenario
Summary
 Press the Tab key, to move to the Result cells box
 On the worksheet, click on cell B6.
o That is the Profit cell, and it changes, based on the sales and
expense amounts entered for each Scenario.

 Click the OK button.


 A Scenario Summary sheet is added to the workbook

View the Scenario Summary


To compare the scenarios side by side, you can view the Scenario Summary
sheet that was created.
1. Select the Scenario Summary worksheet
2. To show or hide the details, click the + / - buttons at the left side and top
of the worksheet

In this example, the scenario cells on the Budget sheet have been named, and
those names appear on the Scenario Summary sheet, making it easier to
understand.

 For example, on the Scenario input sheet, cell B1 is named Dept


 You can see the Dept name in cell C6 on the Scenario Summary sheet.

There is no option for formatting the Scenario Summary when you create it.
However, you can change the formatting in the completed report.

Important Notes

 The Scenario Summary and Scenario PivotTable Report are not linked to
the Scenario data, and they do not update if the Scenario data changes.
 Use these Summary reports to compare the scenario data, or to print the
current status
 After reviewing or printing the data, it's best to delete the Scenario
Summary sheet, to prevent confusion later.

Create a Scenario PivotTable Report


For a different view of the Scenario data, you can create a pivot table report:
Warning: This is a static report that does not change if the Scenario data
changes. Delete this report after printing it, and create a new Summary when
necessary.

 On the Ribbon's Data tab, click What-If Analysis


 Click the drop down arrow, and click Scenario Manager

 Click the Summary button


 In the Scenario Summary dialog box, for Report type, select Scenario
PivotTable report
 Press the Tab key, to move to the Result cells box
 On the worksheet, click on cell B6.This is the Profit cell, and it changes,
based on the sales and expense amounts.

 Click the OK button.


 A Scenario PivotTable sheet is added to the workbook
Q-4) How To Use The Validating In Ms Excel

To add data validation in Excel, perform the following steps.

1. Open the Data Validation dialog box

Select one or more cells to validate, go to the Data tab > Data Tools group, and
click the Data Validation button.

You can also open the Data Validation dialog box by pressing Alt > D > L, with
each key pressed separately.

2. Create an Excel validation rule

On the Settings tab, define the validation criteria according to your needs. In
the criteria, you can supply any of the following:

 Values - type numbers in the criteria boxes like shown in the screenshot below.
 Cell references - make a rule based on a value or formula in another cell.
 Formulas - allow to express more complex conditions like in this example.
As an example, let's make a rule that restricts users to entering a whole number
between 1000 and 9999:

With the validation rule configured, either click OK to close the Data
Validation window or switch to another tab to add an input message or/and
error alert.

3. Add an input message (optional)

If you want to display a message that explains to the user what data is allowed
in a given cell, open the Input Message tab and do the following:

 Make sure the Show input message when cell is selected box is checked.
 Enter the title and text of your message into the corresponding fields.
 Click OK to close the dialog window.
As soon as the user selects the validated cell, the following message will show
up:

4. Display an error alert (optional)

In addition to the input message, you can show one of the following error alerts
when invalid data is entered in a cell.

Alert type Description


Stop (default)
The strictest alert type that prevents users from entering invalid
data.

You click Retry to type a different value or Cancel to remove


the entry.

Warning

Warns users that the data is invalid, but does not prevent
entering it.

You click Yes to input the invalid entry, No to edit it,


or Cancel to remove the entry.

Information
The most permissive alert type that only informs users about an
invalid data entry.

You click OK to enter the invalid value or Cancel to remove it


from the cell.

To configure a custom error message, go to the Error Alert tab and define the
following parameters:

 Check the Show error alert after invalid data is entered box (usually selected
by default).
 In the Style box, select the desired alert type.
 Enter the title and text of the error message into the corresponding boxes.
 Click OK.

And now, if the user enters invalid data, Excel will display a special alert
explaining the error (like shown in the beginning of this tutorial).

Note. If you do not type your own message, the default Stop alert with the
following text will show up: This value does not match the data validation
restrictions defined for this cell.

Excel data validation examples

When adding a data validation rule in Excel, you can choose one of the
predefined settings or specify custom criteria based on your own validation
formula. Below we will discuss each of the built-in options, and next week we
will have a closer look at Excel data validation formulas in a separate tutorial.

As you already know, the validation criteria are defined on the Settings tab of
the Data Validation dialog box (Data tab > Data Validation).

Whole numbers and decimals

To restrict data entry to a whole number or decimal, select the corresponding


item in the Allow box. And then, choose one of the following criteria in
the Data box:
 Equal to or not equal to the specified number
 Greater than or less than the specified number
 Between the two numbers or not between to exclude that range of numbers

For example, this is how you create an Excel validation rule that allows any
whole number greater than 0:

Date and time validation in Excel

To validate dates, select Date in the Allow box, and then pick an appropriate
criteria in the Data box. There are quite a lot of predefined options to choose
from: allow only dates between two dates, equal to, greater than or less than a
specific date, and more.

Similarly, to validate times, select Time in the Allow box, and then define the
required criteria.

For example, to allow only dates between Start date in B1 and End date in B2,
apply this Excel date validation rule:
To validate entries based on today's data and current time, make your own data
validation formulas as shown in these examples:

 Validate dates based on today's date


 Validate times based on current time

Text length

To allow data entry of a specific length, select Text length in the Allow box,
and choose the validation criteria in accordance with your business logic.
For example, to limit the input to 10 characters, create this rule:

Note. The Text length option limits the number of characters but not the data
type, meaning the above rule will allow both text and numbers under 10
characters or 10 digits, respectively.

Excel data validation list (drop-down)

To add a drop-down list of items to a cell or a group of cells, select the target
cells and do the following:

1. Open the Data Validation dialog box (Data tab > Data Validation).
2. On the Settings tab, select List in the Allow box.
3. In the Source box, type the items of your Excel validation list, separated by
commas. For example, to limit the user input to three choices, type Yes, No,
N/A.
4. Make sure the In-cell dropdown box is selected in order for the drop-down
arrow to appear next to the cell.
5. Click OK.
The resulting Excel data validation list will look similar to this:

Note. Please be careful with the Ignore blank option, which is selected by
default. If you are creating a drop-down list based on a named range that has at
least one blank cell, selecting this check box allows entering any value in the
validated cell. In many situations, it is also true for validation formulas: if a cell
referenced in the formula is blank, any value will be allowed in the validated
cell.

Q-5) How To Edit Validation Criteria For Data Entry Ms Excel

to edit data validation in Excel

To change an Excel validation rule, perform these steps:

1. Select any of the validated cells.


2. Open the Data Validation dialog box (Data tab > Data Validation).
3. Make the required changes.
4. Select the Apply these changes to all other cells with the same
settings check box to copy the changes you've made to all other cells with
the original validation criteria.
5. Click OK to save the changes.

For instance, you can edit your Excel data validation list by adding or removing
items from the Source box, and have these changes applied to all other cells
containing the same drop-down list:

Q-6) What Is Chart ? Describes The Chart In Ms Excel.

MS Excel: Charts
In Microsoft Excel, a chart is often called a graph. It is a visual representation of
data from a worksheet that can bring more understanding to the data than just
looking at the numbers.
A chart is a powerful tool that allows you to visually display data in a variety of
different chart formats such as Bar, Column, Pie, Line, Area, Doughnut, Scatter,
Surface, or Radar charts. With Excel, it is easy to create a chart.
Here are some of the types of charts that you can create in Excel.
Bar Chart

Column Chart

Pie Chart
Line Chart
