Simple Excel Tutorial
Probably the most recognizable difference between a word-
processing document and a spreadsheet is that a word-
processing document uses the paragraph as the standard method
of presenting information, and the spreadsheet uses rows and
columns. The reason is simple - most data entered onto a
spreadsheet is numerical and is most easily read, understood,
and manipulated when the numbers are presented this way.
In this exercise you will learn how to:
· Create a grade book.
· Enter text into a worksheet.
· Enter data into a worksheet.
· Format text and data.
· Create simple formulas.
· Save worksheet files.
Exercise: Creating a Grade Book
Objective
It's the beginning of the year and you want to create an
electronic grade book to keep track of student achievement and
do more sophisticated reporting of student progress. You will
use the Microsoft Excel program to accomplish these and other
tasks by entering the student information onto an Excel
worksheet.
Create it
4. 1. Open Microsoft Excel.
Entering information onto a worksheet
1. Click cell A1 to select it.
2. Type your name and press enter.
3. In cell A2, type the name of your class.
4. Press the down arrow key to go to cell A3.
5. Type in Day/Time the class meets.
6. Press the down arrow key to go to cell A4.
7. Type in Spring 2011.
8. Press enter twice to go to cell A6.
Next you'll add some headers for the types of entries you're
going to make
1. Type Last Name
2. Press the tab key.
3. Type the following items in the following cells, pressing tab
after each entry:
Cell
B6
C6
D6
E6
F6
G6
H6
I6
5. J6
Label
First Name
HW-1
HW-2
HW-3
Quiz-1
Quiz 2
Mid-Term Test
Average Score
Grade
Notice that not all entries fit neatly into their cells. You will
return to adjust the size of the columns in a few moments.
Formatting text
1. Right-click cell A1.
2. Click Format cells. The Format cells dialog box appears,
where you can enhance cells in a variety of ways.
3. Click the Font tab, if it's not already selected.
4. In the Font Style box, click Bold.
5. In the Size box, scroll down and click 14.
6. Click OK.
7. Highlight cells A2 through J4 by clicking A2 and dragging to
row J4.
8. Right-click the selection.
9. In the Shortcut menu, click Format Cells.
10. Click the Alignment tab.
11. Under Horizontal Text Alignment, select Center Across
6. Selection.
12. Click OK.
13. With these cells still highlighted, click the arrow next to the
Font Color button on the Formatting toolbar, and click the Light
Blue color.
14. On the Formatting toolbar, click the Bold button.
15. Click the Font Size box and then click 16.
16. Select row 6 by clicking on the Row Header (the numbered
gray area to the left of row 6).
17. On the Formatting toolbar, click the Bold button and the
Italic button.
18. Click the Center button to center the headings in each cell.
Changing the column widths
1. Select columns A through J by clicking the Column Header
for column A and dragging across to column J. Selected
columns are highlighted.
2. Move the mouse pointer over the border between any two
column headers until it changes to a double arrow.
3. Double-click to automatically get the best fit for all the
columns.
4. At this point your spreadsheet should look like this:
Completing the data entry
It's time to fill in the names of your students and their scores.
7. When finished, you'll do a little more formatting and add some
formulas.
1. Type the following names into cells A7 through A11,
pressing enter after each entry:
MortonBoscoWongAtwaterBrown
** If the names above come up blue, you will need to reformat
the text. Highlight the cells, right click on the highlighted
region, and click “Format cells”. Click the “Font” tab, and
check the “Normal font” box under the font size box.
2. Type the following names into cells B7 through B11:
MyronBillHu AllysonLatavia
3. Next, complete the grid by entering the following data for
each column:
4. Type Class Average in cell A13.
Sorting lists
1. Select cells A7 through H11.
2. Click the Sort Ascending button.
Additional cell formatting
1. Bold and italicize the entry in A13.
2. Select cells A6 through J13.
3. Right-click the selection, then click Format Cells in the
shortcut menu.
4. Click the Border tab.
5. In the Style box, click the Medium-Weight Solid Line.
6. In the presets area, click the Outline button.
7. Click OK.
8. 8. Select cells C7:J13.
9. Click the Center button on the Formatting toolbar.
Adding formulas
First you want to get a class average for each homework
assignment and the quiz and test.
1. Click cell C13.
2. Type =average(C7:C11)
3. Press enter.
Notice that the average of the scores shows up in cell C13. Also
notice that the formula itself shows in the formula bar when the
cell is selected. To modify or change the formula, simply click
in the formula bar to make the changes, and then press enter.
You have the average for the homework assignment, but you
need the average for the other columns. You could type the
formulas in cells D13 through H13. But that would take some
time, and you might make some mistakes. Excel can make it
very easy for you.
4. To fill all of the other cells, click and drag from the lower-
right corner of cell C13 to I13.
Excel not only copies the formula into each cell but adjusts the
formula for each column so that it is correct for that set of
numbers. Of course, there is an error in cell I13 because there
are no numbers here to sum yet.
5. Click cell I7.
You need a formula here that adds up the points for all of the
work and divides by the number of possible points. Then you'll
convert it to a percentage.
6. Type =sum(
9. 7. Select cells C7:H7.
Notice that Excel puts the range you have selected into the
formula for you.
8. Type )/165
9. Press enter.
Now, just as you copied the formulas in row 13, you drag the
fill handle to copy the formula in I7 to I11.
Formatting numbers
1. Select cells I7 through I13.
2. Click the Percentage button on the toolbar.
Now here's your grade book:
Saving your grade book
If you have not saved your grade book yet, do it now.
1. Click the Save button.
2. Name your file, then choose Save from the Standard toolbar.
All that's left is to decide what grade each student should get.
Calculating student grades
Finally, let's add a function that automatically calculates
student grades based on their averages in column I.
Look at the grading scale below:
The function required to return a letter grade is listed below,
and is called a nested function. Be very careful to type it
exactly as it is written. Typos and misplaced parentheses will
result in an error.
10. 1. Click cell J7.
2. Type =IF(I7>.89,"A",IF(I7>.79,"B",
IF(I7>.69,"C",IF(I7>.59,"D","F"))))
3. Press enter.
This formula assigns a letter grade to the numerical grade in
column I. It gives the values for letter grades A-D, and tells
Excel that anything else is an F.
The average in cell I7 is 82, therefore the student gets a "B".
What about assigning letter grades for the other students? Copy
the formula from Cell J7:J11, using Autofill.
You can make as many modifications as you need, and of
course, you can easily copy this sheet several times to make
sheets for your other classes.
Graphing Student Grades
Now let’s create a graph that shows the average score
distribution. Graphs are a quick way of viewing numerical
information. For this graph, you will be required to include
information from two columns that are not adjacent. We want
to graph the average scores and include the students’ names on
the graph.
1. Highlight the range A6:A11.
2. Hold down the CTRL key and highlight the range I6:I11
3. Click the Insert tab on the ribbon.
4. In the Charts box, click Line to create a line graph.
5. That’s it! Your graph has been created.
11. 6. Double-click on the box around the graph. The Chart Tools
menu will appear on the ribbon. Use the menu to customize the
graph.
Save the file.
