  1. Spreadsheet Operations

  2. Spreadsheet Operations— increase. . . . . • theefficiency of data entry • the performing of calculations, and • the presentation of information.

  3. Types of Spreadsheet Operations • Sorts • Primary Sort • Secondary Sort • Freeze Panes • Fill Series • Print • Print Preview • Print a Selection • Linking and Embedding • Target • Source

  4. Sorts A Sort is used to arrangedata in alphabetical or chronologicalorder • data can be sorted in Ascendingor Descending Order Examples of: Alphabetical order—Ascending A to Z Alphabetical order—Descending Z to A Numerical order—Ascending 1 to 10 Numerical order—Descending 10 to 1

  5. Sorts • Primary sort – indicates the primary sort range of data (i.e., last name) • also known as a single sort • Secondary sort – indicates the next sort range of date (i.e., first name) • also known as a multiplesort Examples of primary and secondary sort: Smith, Chris Smith, Ryan Stevens, John Can you answer this question?: Mr. Smith sorted the student athletes in order by GPA, last name, first name, and homeroom. GPA is an example of which part of the sort operation? _________________________

  6. Freezing Panes • Allows the user to work in multiple areas of a large spreadsheetand focus the view on specific cell ranges. • Freezing Panes allows the row and/or columns labels or titles to remain stationary on the screen while you scroll. Examples: (1) John arranged his spreadsheet so that he could view the cell range B1:B10 and Row 3 while he worked in cells on Row 180. He would Freeze the Panes so he could see Row 3 and Row 180 at the same time. (2) If Sue wants to keep rows and columns visible so they don’t scroll off the screen as she moves around on the worksheet, she would use the Freeze Panes operation.

  7. Fill Series • used to fill a column or row with consecutive data • Examples: • the days of the week • Monthsof the year • numerical numbers • such as, check numbers that were deleted from a spreadsheet Important: these cell must be adjacent (next to each other)

  8. Fill Handle • the Fill Handle is used to create the continuation of a data series. The Fill Handle is the square located at the bottom right of the cell. Click and drag on the Fill Handle to complete the series

  9. Fill Examples Date Series Months Series Years Series

  10. Printing a Spreadsheet • Printing is used to provide a hard copy. • Print preview is used to view how data is represented on paper. • Print a selection is used to print a portion of a spreadsheet

  11. Printing Options To print all of the column headings at the top of each page: File, Page Setup, Sheet, Print Titles • Portrait— paper taller than wide • Landscape— paper wider than tall • To print with or without gridlines or with or without row and column headings:

  12. Linking and Embedding Linking and/or Embedding are used to integrate spreadsheet data with other software applications. • Twoitems needed for either process: • Target document • Source document

  13. Linking • Linkingmaintains a connection between two files or objects: 1. the Sourcein which it is created 2. the Targetinto which it is inserted The linked object in the Target file will be updated when the Source file is updated. Example: A word processing document (target) may contain a link to a spreadsheet (source) that will update anytime the spreadsheet data is edited.

  14. Embedding • Embedding does NOTmaintain a connection between two files or objects: • theSourcein which it is created and the Targetinto which it is inserted are NOT linked and do NOT have any type of connection. • Unlike a linked object, once embedded, the object becomes part of the Target file (sometimes called Destination file). • Changes you make to the embedded object in the Target file are NOT reflected in the Source file.

  15. Embeddingexamples: An embedded spreadsheet is converted into a graphic image when placed in a Target document and does NOT change to reflect edits made at the Source. (2) To ensure that an objectdoes NOT change in a word processing document when it is edited in the spreadsheet of its original creation, the object must be embedded in the word processing document.
