PowerPoint Presentation to Accompany GO! with Microsoft® Office 2007 Introductory Chapter 9 Creating a Worksheet and Charting Data
Objectives • Create, Save, and Navigate in an Excel Workbook • Enter and Edit Data in a Worksheet • Construct and Copy Formulas, Use the Sum Function, and Edit Cells • Format Data, Cells, and Worksheets
Objectives • Chart Data • Use Page Layout View, Prepare a Worksheet for Printing, and Close Excel • Design a Worksheet
Objectives • Construct Formulas for Mathematical Operations • Format Percentages and Move Formulas • Create a Pie Chart and a Chart Sheet • Use the Excel Help System
Create, Save, and Navigate an Excel Workbook • A workbook contains one or more pages called worksheets. • A worksheet is a grid of vertical columns and horizontal rows. • The intersection of a column and a row is called a cell. • A worksheet is always stored in a workbook.
Enter and Edit Data in a Worksheet • Cell content can be one of two things: • A value, which can be numbers, text, dates, or times of day typed into a cell • A formula, which is an equation that performs mathematical calculations on values in the worksheet • Cell contents can be editedor cleared. • Changes will propagate to formulas that used those cells
Enter and Edit Data in a Worksheet • AutoCompletespeeds typing by completing entries in a cell, if the first few characters match an existing entry in the column. • Auto Fill generates a series of values into adjacent cells, based on the value of the other cells—use lower right corner of cell • AutoCorrect automatically corrects and formats some text as it is typed.
Construct and Copy Formulas, Use the Sum Function, and Edit Cells • Excel automatically recalculates formulas, when changes are made. • Excel provides prewritten formulas called functions, which perform calculations. • Example: • Maximum, Minimum, Average, Sum… • Categorized into: Math, Financial, Statistical …
Construct and Copy Formulas, Use the Sum Function, and Edit Cells
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.
Use Page Layout View, Prepare a Worksheet for Printing, and Close Excel • 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.

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.
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
Use the Excel Help System • The Help system provides information about Excel’s features. • The Help system displays step-by-step instructions for performing many tasks.
