6. HEADER AND
FOOTER
• MS Excel allows you to insert
header and footer into their
spreadsheet document files
• The top margin of each page
in an Excel worksheet is
referred to as a header,
while the bottom margin is
referred to as a footer. To
incorporate a header and
footer in an Excel document,
users can input any text or
figures.
• For instance, the document's
title, user/author names, page
numbers, and so on.

7. INSERTING NEW
WORKSHEET
• When we create a new
workbook in Excel, it usually
starts with 1 to 3 worksheets by
default. However, depending on
the resources and capabilities of
our system, we can insert as
many sheets as we need.
• To add a new worksheet to any
workbook, go to the bottom of
the Excel window and click the
'PLUS' symbol.

8. FIND AND REPLACE COMMAND
• MS Excel allows users to use the 'Find
and Replace' command to find any
specific data (text and numbers both)
from the worksheet and further
replace the data with the new one if
desired.
• This feature is mainly beneficial while
working on vast amounts of data.
• To use this feature, we need to
navigate to the Home > Find and
Select.

9. DATA SORTING AND
FILTERING
• Instead of using the 'Find and Replace' feature, users can also use
'Data Sorting and Filtering' to quickly find the desired data based
on the specific parameters.
• Then, users can either reorder the data or pick out just the
needed data from the vast data sets.
• the sorting feature helps us to manage the order of the data in
different manners, such as the lowest to highest, highest to
lowest, alphabetically, etc.
• We must navigate to the Home > Sort and Filter and then select
the appropriate sorting option from the list to use the sorting
feature.

10. CHARTS
AND
GRAPHICS
Excel allows users to build a variety of charts
using data from sheets. If desired, users can also
use the built-in shapes and pictures.
Furthermore, Excel allows users to create mixed
charts, which means that we may combine two
types of charts in the same spreadsheet.
To insert charts and other graphics objects, we are
required to navigate to the Insert tab.

11. CONDITIONAL
FORMATTING
• Conditional Formatting in Excel is another helpful
feature that allows users to change the formatting of
a cell based on the contents or range of the cells.
• For example, conditional formatting features enable
users to fill in different colors to highlight the
essential aspects of data in spreadsheets.
• Users can also apply basic fonts and cell formatting
such as font style, size, and other font attributes.
