PowerPoint Presentation to Accompany GO! with Microsoft® Office 2007 Introductory Excel 2007 - Creating a Worksheet, Formulas, and Charting Data
Design a Worksheet • Good design techniques can be instrumental in making your worksheet useful. • To be most effective: • Use rows rather than columns for the most abundant data. • Consider how it will appear on flat paper. • Arrange the data so that it is easily charted.
Use Page Layout View to Prepare a Worksheet for Printing • Page Layout View prepares your data for printing. • Rulers measure data, set margins, hide or display row and column headings, and change the page orientation. • Headers or footersprint at the top (header) or bottom (footer) of every page of a worksheet. • Page Layout View shows you how the data and/or chart will appear when printed.
Formulas • Excel automatically recalculates formulas, when changes are made. • Excel provides prewritten formulas called functions, which perform calculations.
Construct Formulas for Mathematical Operations • Relative cell references: • refer to cells by their position in relation to the cell containing the formula • adjust when a formula is copied • Absolute cell references: • refer to cells by their fixed position in the worksheet • make no adjustments
Chart Data • A chart creates a visual representation of the data. • Common chart types include: • Column • Pie • Line
Chart Data • Each cell is a data point. • Each data point is shown in the chart by a data marker: A data marker can be a column, bar, area, dot, pie slice, or other symbol. • Related data points form a data series. For example, a data series for January, February, and March.
