Answer the following
comprehensively:
With your knowledge in adjusting cells
and basic formatting, create a simple
board game using your chosen
spreadsheet application. Some
suggestions that you can start with are
Chess, BattleShips, or Scrabble. After
finalizing your idea, you can start
creating your own game. Save a soft
copy and present your game in front of
the class.
35
Wrap Up
A Workbook is the document itself when you open
your Excel. A Spreadsheet on the other hand is
just one portion of your document.
Formulas in Excel works as your normal arithmetic
operations but you need to place an equal sign (=)
before performing any operation between two or
more values. Functions on the other hand are
specialized operations with assigned names of
actions that use formulas and return a value. 36
Wrap Up
As you open an Excel document, you will see the
following parts:
37
○ Cell that contains the input values
○ Row Number
○ Column Letter
○ Name Box that shows the name of
the selected cell which contains a
column letter and a row number
○ Formula Bar for the computations
○ Ribbon which contains tools
○ Quick Access Toolbar that shows
the commonly used tools such as
Undo, Redo, and Save
○ Spreadsheet Tab where you can
see the different sheets available
on your workbook
○ Status Bar where you can see the
current status of your document
and the view shortcuts
Wrap Up
The Ribbon contains different Excel Tabs that
contain the different tools depending on your needs.
The different tabs you can check are File, Home,
Insert, Draw, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, and
Review.
Spreadsheets are important because they contain the
information and data. You can add, delete, move,
customize, protect, and edit these sheets through
Spreadsheet Options. 38
Wrap Up
Cells contain the values you have input. There are
ways to adjust, select, add, or delete cells based on
your needs.
Basic formatting allows you to change the look of
your data tables.
