3. Discuss the use of charts.
4. Mention any 5 features of word processor.
5. What is a pivot table? Explain its relevance.
6. Define a macro in MS Word. Write a brief understanding about it.
7. Are there any security measures available in MS Word to protect a
document? If yes, mention them in detail.
Answers
1. In any spreadsheet program such as Excel, each rectangular box in
a worksheet is referred to as a cell. A cell is the intersection point
of a vertical column and a horizontal row.
2. Conditional formatting allows you to automatically apply
formatting—such as colors, icons, and data bars—to one or
more cells based on the cell value. To do this, you'll need to
create a conditional formatting rule. For example, a
conditional formatting rule might be: If the value is less
than $2000, color the cell red. By applying this rule, you'd
be able to quickly see which cells contain values less than
$2000.
3. Column
You can take any Excel data arranged in columns or rows and plot
it on a standard column chart. The chart's horizontal axis presents
the categories being charted, while the vertical axis shows the
charted values. Vertical columns of differing colors rise from the
horizontal axis to visually represent the desired data. The simple
presentation and colored columns make for easy visual
comparisons. Column charts also come in a variety of different
forms, including clustered columns, stacked columns and 3-D
columns.
Bar
Bar charts are essentially horizontal column charts. A bar chart organizes
the categories along the vertical axis and the values along the horizontal
axis. Horizontal bars stretch left to right across the chart to plot the data.
Bar charts are excellent for charting multiple values over extended
durations, with colored bars representing each value.
Line
Line charts use one or more horizontal lines to visually depict data
points. The chart distributes categories evenly along the horizontal
axis and values evenly along the vertical axis. The horizontal line
connects the plotted points, providing a clear picture of data
trends. Line charts work best when presenting data over evenly
distributed time intervals.
Pie
A pie chart divides a circle into slices to represent a data series.
The chart depicts each pie slice in a different color for easy
recognition of how the individual slice relates to the greater whole.
Pie charts work best when you're charting only one data series,
when none of your data are negative, when your data features no
zero values and when you have seven values or fewer.
Doughnut
Although similar to pie charts in that they show the relationship of
individual parts to the greater whole, doughnut charts feature
more than one data series. The chart shows each data series in a
circular ring, one inside the other and a hole in the middle like a
doughnut. Instead of pie slices, each ring has colored segments to
represent data values. Some individuals may find doughnut charts
difficult to read, making stacked column charts or stacked bar
charts better options.
Others
Excel's other main chart types are area, bubble, combo, radar,
scatter, stock and surface. Among the more notable types are area
charts, which draw attention to change over time and to total value
across a trend; stock charts, which use short vertical lines to show
the fluctuation in a stock price or other values as depicted on a
vertical axis; and combo charts, which use a combination of chart
types to display widely varied data.

4. A. Bold, underline, italicise and highlighting text.


B. Creating charts and graphs.
C. Changing font colour.
D. Cut and paste.
E. Inserting text.

5. Pivot tables are one of Excel's most powerful features. A pivot


table allows you to extract the significance from a large, detailed
data set.
A pivot table is a special Excel tool that allows you to
summarize and explore data interactively.
In data processing, a pivot table is a data summarization tool
found in data visualization programs such
as spreadsheets or business intelligence software. Among other
functions, a pivot table can automatically sort, count total or give
the average of the data stored in one table or spreadsheet,
displaying the results in a second table showing the summarized
data. Pivot tables are also useful for quickly creating
unweighted cross tabulations. The user sets up and changes the
summary's structure by dragging and dropping fields graphically.
This "rotation" or pivoting of the summary table gives the concept
its name.
The term pivot table is a generic phrase used by multiple vendors.
In the United States, Microsoft Corporation has trademarked the
specific compound word form, PivotTable.
Pivot tables can be seen as a simplification of the more complete
and complex online analytical processing concepts (OLAP).
