Formula errors identified Correcting Worksheet Errors
Correcting Errors • Can correct errors individually • Can use Excel's formula error checker tool • Checks all errors one at a time • Identifies the problem • Suggests corrections
Asterisks will change entry type to text Location and cause of error Error Checking Tool
Identified range Total value is included in range and needs to be removed Calculating an Average
Errors Options button Correcting Formula Errors Individually
Formula references a blank cell Formula was copied and the relative reference was adjustedresulting in an error Using Absolute References
Concept 1 Absolute Reference • An absolute reference is a cell or a range in a formula whose location does not change when the formula is copied • To avoid relative adjustment of cell references, enter a $ (dollar sign) before the column letter and row number • Changes cell reference to absolute • Cell reference does not change when copied
Absolute reference stopped adjustment of the cell reference when the formula was copied Absolute Reference Cells
Copying Between Sheets • Select the source to copy • Switch to the new sheet to specify the destination • All worksheet data and formatting are copied • Column width settings are not copied
Sheet 2 active How to Copy Between Sheets • Select range A1 through G23 • Click on Edit/Copy • Click on the Sheet 2 tab • Click Edit/Paste
Concept 2 Sheet Name • Can be up to 31 characters • Can be entered in uppercase, lowercase, or a combination • Can contain any combination of letters, numbers, and spaces • Cannot contain the characters : ? * / \ • Cannot be enclosed in square brackets
Fill handle Concept 3 AutoFill • Helps easily enter a series of headings • Recognizes trends • Automatically extends data and alphanumeric headings as far as you specify • Dragging the fill handle activates the AutoFill feature
Month headings extended by dragging fill handle Dragging the Fill Handle
+ Referencing Multiple Sheets With Excel, you can create a formula that references cells in other worksheets
Concept 4 Sheet and 3-D References • Formulas can reference cells in other sheets of a workbook • Formula contains a sheet reference • Name of the sheet followed by an exclamation point and the cell or range (=Sheet2!B17) • 3-D reference is used for the same cell or range of cells on multiple sheets
3-D Example 3-D reference includes sheet names and cell references Calculated income for first half Text entry right-aligned
Deleting and Moving Sheets • Choose Edit/Delete to delete a worksheet • Move a sheet to rearrange the worksheet position • Move a sheet by clicking on the sheet tab and dragging it
Concept 5 Find and Replace • Helps you quickly find specific information • Automatically replaces with new information • The Find command locates all occurrences of the text or numbers you specify • The Replace command works with the Find command
Managing Large Worksheets • Zoom to change how much information is displayed • Locate a specific cell by entering the cell reference in the Name box • Split windows to view different areas of the same sheet at the same time
Makes comparing distant areas of a large worksheet easier Split Window
Concept 6 Split Windows • Allows you to divide a worksheet window into sections • Sections of window are called panes • The worksheet can be divided into … • Two panes (horizontally or vertically) • Four panes • Each pane can be scrolled independently
Concept 7 Freeze Panes • Prevent the data in the pane from scrolling as you move to different areas in a worksheet • Can freeze information in the top and left panes only • Useful when your worksheet has row and column headings
Frozen panes Freeze Panes
Moving border shows selected cells Watch window toolbar Specify cells to watch Watching Cells
Concept 8 What-If Analysis • A technique used to evaluate the effects of changing selected factors • You can substitute different values in cells and quickly see the effects of the changes
Chart shows change in profit margin Performing What-If Analysis Manually • Enter different values • Usually takes several tries to find the appropriate value
Concept 9 Goal Seek • Used to find the value needed in one cell to attain the desired result in another cell • Varies the value in a cell you specify until a formula returns the desired result • The value of only one cell can be changed
Location of cell containingformula to be solved Specify cell that can be adjusted Enter desired result Goal Seek
Customized Print Settings • Control page breaks • Change the page orientation • Portrait • Landscape • Center the worksheet on a page
Customized Print Settings • Hide gridlines • Add custom header and footer • Print Selected Areas
