This PowerPoint presentation covers the objectives of Chapter 1 in the book "GO! with Microsoft Excel 2010". It includes how to create and navigate an Excel workbook, enter data and formulas, format cells, create column charts and sparklines, print worksheets, check spelling, enter data by range, construct mathematical formulas, edit values, and format worksheets. The objectives are to learn the basic functions of Excel through hands-on practice with worksheets and charts.

9. Enter Data in a WorksheetCell contentAnything entered into a cellConstant valuesText values (label)Number valuesFormulasEquations that perform calculations on values in the worksheet

10. Enter Data in a WorksheetActive cellSelected by clicking on the cellCell is outlined in blackColumn and row number are highlightedCell reference displays in Name Box

11. Enter Data in a Worksheet

12. Enter Data in a WorksheetAuto Fill Generates and extends a series of valuesFill handleUsed to drag the contents of the selected series

13. Enter Data in a WorksheetRangesTwo or more cells that are adjacent or nonadjacentA range colon (:) appearing between two cell references includes all cells between the two cell references EX: B3:D3 is a range including B3, C3, and D3

14. Enter Data in a Worksheet

15. Construct and Copy Formulas and Use the SUM FunctionConstruct formulasType formula with the equal sign (=)May be typed in the cell or the formula barUse the plus sign (+) to add numbersPress enter and the cell will display the results and the formula will appear in the formula barUse the Excel SUM functionCopy formulas using the fill handle

16. Construct and Copy Formulas and Use the SUM Function

17. Construct and Copy Formulas and Use the SUM Function

18. Format Cells with Merge & Center and Cell StylesMerge & CenterJoins selected cells into one larger cell and centers contentSelect range, then click Merge & Center Cell StylesDefined set of formatting characteristicsFont, font size, font color, cell borders, and cell shading

19. Format Cells with Merge & Center and Cell StylesFormatting numbersAccounting Number Format and Comma StyleUse comma separator, where appropriateApply two decimal placesUse parentheses for negative numbers DifferencesAccounting Number Format—dollar sign ($)Comma Style—no dollar sign

20. Chart Data to Create a Column Chart and Insert SparklinesChartA graphic representation of dataEasier to read than a table of numbersSparklinesTiny charts embedded in a cell to give a visual summary alongside data

28. Check Spelling in a Worksheet

29. Enter Data by RangeTime-saving technique for entering numbersSelect the range of cells where numbers are to be entered.Press Enter after each entry and the active cell will move within the selected range.This technique works for multiple columns.

30. Construct Formulas for Mathematical OperationsExcel formulas begin with an equal sign and include cell references and arithmetic operators.

31. Construct Formulas for Mathematical OperationsCopying formulas in ExcelA formula copied in Excel changes cell references relative to the cell with the formula.Example: Copying =C4+D4 from cell E4 to cell E5 will result in =C5+D5To force Excel to keep a cell reference use absolute addressing to fix the formula reference by inserting a dollar sign ($) before the row and/or column.

32. Construct Formulas for Mathematical Operations

33. Edit Values in a WorksheetChanging cell contentsMaking changes to numbers will result in re-calculating any formulas that reference the cell that was changed.This is a powerful and useful feature of Excel. Formatting cellsFormatting cells will result in a different appearance but will not impact the calculations.

34. Format a WorksheetFormattingSpecifying appearance of cells and overall layout of the worksheetInserting and deleting rows and columnsExisting data is moved and formulas automatically adjustedAdjusting column widths and wrapping textWrap text displays the contents of a cell on multiple lines, thus increasing the cell height
