    What is a spreadsheet?
    An arrangement of cells in columns and rows used to
    organize, analyze, calculate, and report information,
    usually in numerical or graphical form.
    What is a workbook?
    A file which contains one or more spreadsheets
    Parts of a Spreadsheet
    Row
    Horizontal lines of
    data in a
    spreadsheet. This is row 4

    Identified with
    numbers
    Column
    Vertical lines of
    data in a
    spreadsheet. This is Column B

    Identified by
    letters
    Cell
    The individual
    intersections
    between rows and This is cell C3

    columns labeled
    by the Column
    Letters and Row
    Numbers
    Math Basics and Formulas
    Math Operations
    Operation Symbol Example

    Add + =B1+C1

    Subtract - =C1-B1

    Multiply * =C3*D3

    Divide / =D3/C3

    Power ^ =C1^5
    Or =POWER(first,second) =POWER(C2,D2)

    Mixed Note: Order of operations =3*C2/D2+5-A2


    apply

    NOTE:Cell names are not case sensitive. C2 is the same as c2.


    Statistics Formula
    Operation Formula Example

    MEAN =AVERAGE(1st number:last number) =AVERAGE(B2:B99)

    MEDIAN =MEDIAN(1st number:last number) =MEDIAN(B2:B99)

    MODE =MODE1(1st number:last number) =MODE(B2:B99)

    Maximum Number =MAX(1st number:last number) =MAX(B2:B99)

    Minimum Number =MIN(1st number:last number) =MIN(B2:B99)

    Range =MAX(B2:B99)-MIN(B2:B99)

    NOTE: Formula names are case sensitive. The must be capital letters
