Running In Cells and Columns

Today I've come to know about yet another test. This time it's on Microsoft Excel. So this blog entry is to help me get my thoughts sorted out and see what I know about Excel. Hopefully I've absorbed enough knowledge and can apply it well!

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that is much more efficient than a manual spreadsheet that someone would fill out using a pencil and paper. Microsoft Excel makes it so that you have the following tools right at your fingertips:

-Charts and Graphs (You can input your data into Excel and create a Chart or Graph with it using only a few clicks. This saves you the time of having to draw one out yourself.)

-Calculations ( Excel can make calculations for you as long as you input a forumla following "=" into a cell. *Note: All formulas are relative to their location, cells must be named to avoid relative cells.)

-Polishing Tools (Excel also allows you to control the look and feel of your final product. You can use borders and colours to enhance your data visually.)

Those are some of the advantages of Microsoft Excel...now to move on to how it actually functions!

Microsoft Excel is set up using rows and columns of individual "cells" that you can input data into. It is up to you what you put into those cells and which functions of Excel you use! Microsoft Excel is a very flexible product and can be used for anything! You can even include your spreadsheets in other files such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Powerpoint.
