This is a practical guide for anyone using Microsoft Office 2013 software. Go to: Follow the on screen instructions to download the appropriate data file. Copy and paste the complete Spreadsheets folder to the hard drive of your computer. This folder contains files that you will need to open during the course. Create a new folder on your hard drive named LDI Exercises. All newly created or edited files can be saved in this folder during exercises, unless otherwise instructed.

If a different operating system is used, some dialog boxes may look different, but the content is the same. A screen resolution of 1366 x 768 was used in compiling this manual. Working in a different screen resolution, or with an application window which is not maximized, will change the look of the Office 2013 Ribbon. The Ribbon appearance is dynamic, as it will change to fit the space available. For example, the full Ribbon may show a group containing several options, but if space is restricted it may show a single button that you need to click to see the same options. iii

7 Module Goals Spreadsheets require the candidate to understand the concept of spreadsheets and to demonstrate an ability to use a spreadsheet to produce accurate work outputs. The candidate shall be able to: Work with spreadsheets and save them in different file formats. Choose built-in options such as the Help function within the application to enhance productivity. Enter data into cells and use good practice in creating lists. Select, sort and copy, move and delete data. Edit rows and columns in a worksheet. Copy, move, delete and appropriately rename worksheets. Create mathematical and logical formulas using standard spreadsheet functions. Use good practice in formula creation and will be able to recognize error values in formulas. Format numbers and text content in a spreadsheet. Choose, create and format charts to communicate information meaningfully. Adjust spreadsheet page settings and check and correct spreadsheet content before finally printing spreadsheets. Introduction to Spreadsheets A spreadsheet is a rectangular table (or grid) of information, often financial information. The word comes from "spread" in the sense of a newspaper or magazine item (text and/or graphics) that covers two facing pages, extending across the centre fold and treating the two pages as one large one. The compound word "spreadsheet" came to mean the format used to present bookkeeping ledgers with columns for categories of expenditures across the top, invoices listed down the left margin, and the amount of each payment in the cell where its row and column intersect. One of the first commercial uses of computers was in processing payroll and other financial records, so the programmes (and, indeed, the programming languages themselves) were designed to generate reports in the standard "spreadsheet" format bookkeepers and accountants used. The more available and affordable computers themselves became in the last quarter of the 20th century, the more software became available for them, and programmes to keep financial records and generate spreadsheet reports were always in demand. Those spreadsheet programmes can be used to tabulate many kinds of information, not just financial records, so the term "spreadsheet" has developed a more general meaning as information presented in a rectangular table, usually generated by a computer. Terminology Workbook: Worksheet: Columns: Rows: Cell: Range: Active cell: A spreadsheet file is referred to as a workbook. A workbook consists of different sheets and each sheet is called a worksheet. Columns run across the top of the spreadsheet and are labelled with alphabetical letters, called column headings. Rows run down the left side of the spreadsheet and are identified by numbers, called row headings. Cells are formed by the intersection of rows and columns. Each cell is referred to by its address: a column letter and a row number, e.g. F6. A single cell or a selected group of cells within a spreadsheet. A range is indicated by using a colon as follows: A3:C8. The cell with the dark black border is the active cell. Data can only be entered in the active cell. Microsoft Excel

8 Name Box: Formula Bar: Formula: Cell Reference: View Buttons: Scroll Bars: Status Bar: Ribbon: The name box lists the column letter and row number of a selected cell or a range of selected cells. The bar at the top of a spreadsheet that displays the information entered in a cell or a formula. A mathematical equation that performs a calculation in a cell. The coordinates of a cell according to its column and row position. Used to switch views. Different views are available - Normal view, Page Layout and Page Break Preview. Scroll bars enable the user to scroll up or down and left or right to view more of a document. It displays information about the active spreadsheet. The Ribbon includes buttons (icons) for regularly used computer functions. 2 Microsoft Excel 2013

10 The Ribbon The Ribbon is at the top of the Excel window, below the Title bar. There are various tabs, each with different related groups of tools. These tabs are task-oriented and groups within each tab break a task into subtasks. The Standard and Formatting toolbars, as well as the Menu bar in older versions of Excel have been replaced by the Ribbon. Tabs Groups How to Use the Ribbon Click the button to apply the feature. If a button is clicked, it will be highlighted to show the feature is applied. Click the button again to de-select it. Some buttons have an arrow which indicates there are more options available. Click the button to display the available options, and then click the required option. Some buttons are divided in two parts. Click one part to apply the feature and click the arrow to display more options. Some groups have an arrow in the bottom right corner. This is the dialog box launcher and opens a dialog box or task pane for more options. When the mouse pointer is placed on any button, a screen tip is displayed. Certain tabs will only appear when needed, e.g. the Chart Tools tab will appear when a chart is selected. Ondemand (contextual) tabs appear for other activity areas such as images. 4 Microsoft Excel 2013

11 There is also a Quick Access Toolbar above the Ribbon, on the left-hand side of the Title bar. This toolbar can be customised by clicking the drop-down arrow and adding any of the options. Minimize and Restore the Ribbon On the right-hand side of the Title bar, next to the Help button, click the Ribbon Display Options button and choose one of the following options: Select Auto-hide Ribbon to hide the Ribbon completely. Click the Show Tabs option to only show the tab names without any commands. Select Show Tabs and Commands to show all tabs and commands. Alternatively, double-click any tab to minimize the Ribbon. Double-click any tab again to restore the Ribbon. You can continue working even if the Ribbon is minimized. If the tab names are visible, click a tab to access the functions. Only one function can be performed at a time when the Ribbon is minimized. Place the mouse pointer on the Ribbon and use the scroll wheel to switch between tabs. The File Tab The File tab includes options such as New, Save, Save As, Open and Print. The File tab interface is called Backstage View.
