Spreadsheet Terminology
When we are working with spreadsheet package, we have to know some
spreadsheet terminologies, some such terms following-
Workbook
A workbook is a collection of many worksheets. In a single workbook we can store
information in an organized manner. By default, a workbook opens with three
worksheets and it can contain a maximum of 255 worksheets.
Worksheet
A worksheet, also called spreadsheet, is a sheet made up of row and columns.
Worksheets contain 256 columns and 65536 rows in MS Excel 2003 and 1048576
rows and 16384 columns in MS Excel 2010.
Chart Sheet
Chart sheet is a separate sheet in a workbook that contains only graphics or
charts. It is useful when we want to see a chart or tabular data, separated from

Row
A row is a horizontal block of cells, which runs through the entire width of
worksheet. The rows are numbered from top to bottom along the left edge of the
worksheet. The first row is numbered 1, the second 2; the third is 3, and so on.

of the worksheet. Worksheets contain 16384 columns in 2010 orabove version,
labeled A through IV. The first column is A, the second is B and so on until we
reached Z. Then comes columns AA through IV. The last column of the worksheet ,
XFD is the 16384th column.
Cell
A cell is the intersection of a row and a column. A cell identify of
referenced with column labeled and row numbered. For example – the first cell
of sheet is A1 (column A, row 1). A cell can contain more than 65000 characters,
when we select a cell by clicking it with the mouse or moving to it using the
keyboard, it becomes the active cell. A cell contain four type of data –

When you put a long text in a cell, you may find it is not visible all the time. At this
time, if you want text to appear on multiple lines in a cell, you can format the cell so
that the text wraps automatically. Also, you can enter a manual line break. Here, I
will tell the first method which is a little easier.
11) Merge & Center-(ALT+H+M+C)
It is common to center the title left to right over the data in the worksheet.
Although there is more than one way to accomplish this task, probably the easiest
way to do it is to use the Merge and Center option on the Home tab of the ribbon.
Merge and Center works by merging the selected cells into one and then
centering the data in the new combined cell. (ALT+H+M+C)

Unmerged Cell is used to unmerge the merged cells. (ALT+H+M+U)
Number Group
Formatting text and numbers
One of the most powerful tools in Excel is the ability to apply specific formatting for
text and numbers. Instead of displaying all cell content in exactly the same way, you
can use formatting to change the appearance of dates, times, decimals, percentages
(%), currency ($), and much more.
There are 11 number formats are given below:-
Format Description
General The default number format that Excel applies when you type a number.
For the most part, numbers that are formatted with the General format
are displayed just the way you type them. However, if the cell is not wide
enough to show the entire number, the General format rounds the
numbers with decimals. The General number format also uses scientific
(exponential) notation for large numbers (12 or more digits).
Number Used for the general display of numbers. You can specify the number of
decimal places that you want to use, whether you want to use a thousands
separator, and how you want to display negative numbers.
Currency Used for general monetary values and displays the default currency
symbol with numbers. You can specify the number of decimal places that
Priyanka Srivastava --- Computer Science & IT Depart. ---- Govt. Polytechnic Lucknow Page 6
Microsoft Excel 2010 UNIT 2
number by 10 to the nth power. For example, a 2-
decimal Scientific format displays 12345678901 as 1.23E+10, which is
1.23 times 10 to the 10th power. You can specify the number of decimal
places that you want to use.
Text Treats the content of a cell as text and displays the content exactly as you
type it, even when you type numbers.
Special Displays a number as a postal code (ZIP Code), phone number, or Social
Security number.
Custom Allows you to modify a copy of an existing number format code. Use this
format to create a custom number format that is added to the list of
number format codes. You can add between 200 and 250 custom number
formats, depending on the language version of Excel that is installed on
your computer.
Style Group
1. Conditional Formatting
Before leaving behind the scintillating subject of cell formatting, there’s one more
formatting button in the Styles group of the Home tab of which you need to be
aware. The Conditional Formatting button enables you to apply provisional
formatting to a cell range based solely on the categories into which its current
values fall. The cool thing about this kind of conditional formatting is that should
you edit the numbers in the cell range so that their values fall into other categories,
the program automatically changes their cell formatting to suit.
When you click the Conditional Formatting button in the Styles group of the Home
tab, a drop-down menu appears with the following options.
i) Highlight cell rules ii) Top/Bottom Rules
iii) Data Bars iv) Color scales
v) Icon Sates vi) New Rules
vii) Manage Rules viii) Clear Rules

2. Pivot Tab
The Pivot Table concept is not new in Excel 2010,it was already present in Excel
2007 but some noteworthy improvements have been made to it.
The Pivot tables are used to summarize, analyze, explore and present your data. A
Pivot table is a way to extract data from a long list of information and present it in a
more meaningful and user friendly understandable format. For example, let’s say
that we have the data of student scores in a spreadsheet; you could turn this into a
pivot table, and then view only the Math scores for each pupil.
Note-
To complete the pivot table assign the fields in the PivotTable Field List task pane
to the various parts of the table. You do this by dragging a field name from the
Choose Fields to Add to Report list box and dropping it in one of the four areas
below, called drop zones. There are 4 box shows in pivot table field list.
1. Report Filter-
This area contains the fields that enable you to page through the data summaries
shown in the actual pivot table by filtering out sets of data — they act as the filters
for the report. So, for example, if you designate the Year Field from a table as a
Report Filter, you can display data summaries in the pivot table for individual years
or for all years represented in the table.
2. Column Level-
This area contains the fields that determine the arrangement of data shown in the
columns of the pivot table.
3. Row Level -
This area contains the fields that determine the arrangement of data shown in the
rows of the pivot table.

4. Values-
This area contains the fields that determine which data are presented in the cells of

(totaled by default).
