Microsoft Excel allows users to automatically display and analyze statistical data through built-in arithmetic and conditional functions. Excel simplifies organizing and analyzing data using functions that ignore criteria if conditions are not met. Number formats control how values are displayed in cells using formats like general, currency, date, and more. Excel also contains tools like formulas, conditional formulas, and functions like COUNTIF, SUMIF, and AVERAGEIF to analyze data. Proper online research involves having a focused question, narrowing searches, using advanced search features, and finding credible sources.

2. Microsoft Word
Is a word processor Microsoft which allows
users to create their own typing templates,
type, and save documents.
Similar to other word processors, it has
helpful tools to make documents.

3. Microsoft PowerPoint
Is a presentation program developed by
Microsoft. PowerPoint provides users with an
interface to design multimedia slides to be
displayed on a projection system or personal
computer.
The software incorporates images, sounds,
videos, text and charts to create an

4. Microsoft Excel
Is a software that displays an automated way of
displaying any statistical data.
It can be used to automatically compute for several
factors that are not easy to notice especially when
faced by a large data
***Note: Microsoft Excel includes several arithmetic
and basic functions that help you compute faster.***

5. With Microsoft Excel organizing and analysing data
is much more simpler because of its use of
conditional functions.
These functions work almost the same as Count,
Average, and Sum with the exception that you can
provide criteria where it is not met, the data is to
be ignored by the formula, and therefore not the
computer.

6. Number Format?
is a number format that is used to display the values
in each spreadsheet cell.
Classifications of Number Format
1. General
2. Number
3. Currency
4. Accounting

8. Excel Functions and Formulas
Are instructions for Excel to perform calculations.
They are usually used to count, get the sum or get
the average of a certain number of cell range.
Data Types in Excel
1. Labels
2. Values
3. Formulas

11. Tools used in analysing Data in Excel
1. Manual/Keyword Formula
2. Conditional Formula

12. Most Common Conditional Formulas
1. COUNTIF – a function used to count the cells with
a specified content within a number of range
2. SUMIF – a function used to compute for the
summation of a range if a certain condition is met
3. AVERAGEIF – a function used to compute for the
average of a range if a certain condition is met

13. Proper Way to do Online Research
The information that we need is more likely already
in the internet. It is just a matter of how to look for
it and how to use information from the most
credible source. Here are some tips in conducting
online research:
1. Have a question in mind

14. 2. 2. Narrow it down
3. 3. Advanced Search
4. 4. Look for a credible source

15. Advanced Search
+ - finds web pages that contains all the terms that
are preceded by the + symbol; allows you to include
terms that are usually ignored
“ “ – Finds the exact words in a phrase
() – Finds or excludes web pages that contain a
group of words
AND or & - Finds web pages that contain all the
terms or phrases.

16. NOT or - - Excludes web pages that contain a term
or phrase
OR or | - Finds web pages that contain either of the
terms or phrases.

18. Advanced Search Guidelines
1. By default, all searches are AND searches
2. You must capitalize the NOT and OR functions.
3. Stop words and all punctuation marks except for
the symbols noted in this topic, they are ignored
unless they are surrounded by quotation marks or
preceded by the +symbol

19. 4. Only the first ten terms are used to get search
results.
5. Term grouping are supported in the following
order:
* Parenthesis
* Quotation Marks
* NOT
* AND
* OR
6. Because OR is the function with the lowest
precedence, enclose OR terms in parentheses
when combined with other operators in a search.
