1 SPREADSHEETS BASIC TERMINOLOGY A Spreadsheet is a grid of rows and columns containing numbers, text, and formulas. A workbook is the file Excel creates to store your data. A worksheet is an individual page or tab in the workbook. You can insert or delete worksheets from a workbook. A new workbook opens with three blank worksheets. A workbook can have from 1 to 255 worksheets. Columns of the worksheet appear vertically and are identified by letters at the top of the worksheet. There are 256 columns, lettered from A to Z, then AA to AZ, BA to BZ, etc up to IV. Rows appear horizontally and are identified by numbers on the left side of the worksheet window. A cell is the intersection of a row and column and is identified by a cell reference or cell address. The active cell is the cell that appears outlined with a thick border on the worksheet. When you open a new workbook, the default cell is A1. Each worksheet in a workbook has 256 columns and 65,536 rows for a total of 16,777,216 cells Column headings: A column letter above the grid Row heading: A row number on the left side of the grid Charts. Charts pictorial represent data. Embedded chart displays on the same worksheet as the data Chart area: is the background for the chart. It can be filled with a color or pattern Category Axis: is created from the row or column headings in the data. A category describes what is shown in the chart Category Title: is an optional title for the chart s categories Value Axis: shows the values on the chart. Excels creates a range of values (the scale) based on the data The plot area is the rectangular area bounded by the category and value axes The Chart Title: is an optional title or name for the chart A data series: is a collection of related values from the worksheet. These values are in the same column or row and translate into the columns, lines, pie slices and so on. A data point is a single value or piece of data from the data series. A data marker is the obj4ect that represents individual values. The marker can be a bar, a column, a symbol, an image, or other symbol. A legend is an object that explains the symbols, patterns, or colors used to differentiate the series in the chart. A gridline is a horizontal or vertical line that extends across the plot area to make it easier to read and follow the values A tick mark is a small line or marker on the category(x) and value(y) axes to help in reading the values.
