DEALING WITH FINANCIAL DATA, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, OR PROJECT PLANNING, CALC PROVIDES THE TOOLS NEEDED TO ORGANIZE, PROCESS, AND VISUALIZE
INFORMATION.

• TODAY, WE'LL EXPLORE THE CAPABILITIES OF LIBREOFFICE CALC, FOCUSING ON HOW IT CAN ELEVATE YOUR SPREADSHEET EXPERIENCE AND CONTRIBUTE TO
EFFICIENT DATA HANDLING AND ANALYSIS. LET'S DIVE INTO THE FEATURES THAT MAKE CALC AN ESSENTIAL TOOL IN THE LIBREOFFICE SUITE.
 CALC INTERFACE
GETTING STARTED WITH CALC:
CREATING A NEW SPREADSHEET:
1. FILE > NEW > SPREADSHEETS: OPEN A NEW BLANK SPREADSHEET.
2. TEMPLATE GALLERY : CHOOSE FROM VARIOUS TEMPLATES TO KICKSTART YOUR PROJECT.

ENTERING DATA :
1. SELECT A CELL: CLICK ON A CELL TO START ENTERING DATA.
2. TYPING DATA : SIMPLY START TYPING TO INPUT TEXT OR NUMBERS.
3. MOVING BETWEEN CELLS: USE THE ARROW KEYS OR THE TAB KEY TO NAVIGATE.

FORMATTING CELLS:
1. SELECTING CELLS: CLICK AND DRAG TO SELECT CELLS.
2. FORMAT PAINTER: COPY FORMATTING FROM ONE CELL TO ANOTHER .
3. CELL FORMATTING OPTIONS: CUSTOMIZE FONTS, COLORS, AND BORDERS USING THE FORMAT MENU.

BASIC FORMULAS:
1. SIMPLE ARITHMETIC : =A1+B1 ADDS THE VALUES IN CELLS A1 AND B1.
2. AUTO SUM: QUICKLY CALCULATE TOTALS WITH THE AUTOSUM BUTTON.
3. CELL REFERENCES: ABSOLUTE ($) AND RELATIVE REFERENCES ADJUST FORMULAS AS YOU COPY THEM.

GETTING STARTED WITH CALC IS AS EASY AS CREATING A NEW SPREADSHEET, ENTERING YOUR DATA , AND APPLYING BASIC FORMATTING AND FORMULAS.
THESE FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS FORM THE FOUNDATION FOR MORE ADVANCED DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS TASKS WE'LL EXPLORE LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION.
LET'S NOW PUT THESE CONCEPTS INTO ACTION WITH A QUICK DEMO.

W ILL ELEVATE YOUR SPREADSHEET SKILLS.
 DATA MANAGEMENT
EFFICIENT DATA HANDLING:
NOW THAT WE'VE COVERED THE BASICS, LET'S EXPLORE HOW LIBREOFFICE CALC FACILITATES EFFICIENT DATA MANAGEMENT, ALLOWING YOU TO ORGANIZE AND ANALYZE INFORMATION
SEAMLESSLY.

• SORTING AND FILTERING DATA:

• 1. SORT A SCENDING/DESCENDING: A RRANGE DATA ALPHABETICALLY OR NUMERICALLY.

• EFFICIENT DATA HANDLING IN CALC GOES BEYOND MERE ORGANIZATION —IT EMPOWERS YOU TO MAINTAIN ACCURACY, FILTER INFORMATION AT WILL, AND CREATE MEANINGFUL
STRUCTURES WITHIN YOUR SPREADSHEET. A S WE EXPLORE THESE FEATURES, YOU'LL SEE HOW CALC TRANSFORMS DATA MANAGEMENT INTO A DYNAMIC AND USER-FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE.
LET'S CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY INTO THE CAPABILITIES OF LIBREOFFICE CALC.
 FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS
UNLOCKI NG CALC'S POWER:

• LIBREO FFICE CALC BECOMES TRULY POWERFUL WHEN YOU DIVE INTO FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS . LET'S EXPLORE HOW THESE TOOLS CAN ELEVATE YOUR SPREADSHEET
CAPABILITIES .

• INTRODUCTION TO FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS:

• FORMULA BASICS: A FORMULA IS AN EQUATION THAT PERFORMS CALCULATIONS BASED ON THE DATA IN YOUR SPREADSHEET.
• FUNCTIONS: FUNCTIONS ARE PREDEFINED FORMULAS THAT SIMPLIFY COMPLEX CALCULATIONS AND TASKS.

• EXAMPLES OF BASIC MATHEMATICAL FUNCTIONS:

• 1. SUM: =SUM(A1:A10) ADDS UP THE VALUES IN CELLS A1 TO A10.
• 2. AVERAGE: =AVERAGE(B1:B5) CALCULATES THE AVERAGE OF VALUES IN CELLS B1 TO B5.
• 3. MAX AND MIN: =MAX(C1:C8) RETURNS THE HIGHEST VALUE IN CELLS C1 TO C8, WHILE =MIN(D1:D6) RETURNS THE LOWEST.

• H OW TO U SE BUILT-IN FUNCTIONS FOR COMMON TASKS:

• 1. INSERT FUNCTION WIZARD: ACCESS A WIDE RANGE OF FUNCTIONS THROUGH THE WIZARD.

• 2. FUNCTION AUTOCOMPLETE: BEGIN TYPING A FUNCTION, AND CALC WILL SUGGEST AND COMPLETE IT FOR YOU.

• 3. FUNCTION ARGUMENTS: U NDERSTAND AND INPUT THE REQUIRED ARGUMENTS FOR EACH FUNCTION.

• BY HARNESSING THE POWER OF FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS, YOU CAN AUTOMATE CALCULATIONS AND STREAMLINE COMPLEX TASKS IN LIBREO FFICE CALC. AS WE DELVE
DEEPER INTO SPECIFIC EXAMPLES AND USE CASES , YOU'LL DISCOVER HOW THESE TOOLS UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR SPREADSHEET ENDEAVORS . LET 'S NOW
