Cell Basics Lecture and Assignment 2
USING EXCEL SUCH AS, INSERTING TEXT AND NUMBERS USING THE FILL HANDLE, CUT AND PASTE CELLS,
DELETING A CELL AND DRAGGING AND DROPPING CELLS
SO THE FIRST THING THAT I WOULD DO IS THAT WHENEVER YOU SELECT A CELL FOR INSTANCE HERE, I
SELECTED D3, YOU WOULD SEE THAT THE CELL ADDRESS WOULD BE SEEN IN THE NAME BOX ABOVE
AND THE CONTENT OF CELL D3 APPEARS IN THE FORMULA BAR ABOVE.
THE NEXT THING THAT I WOULD DEMONSTRATE IS HOW TO INSERT TEXT AND NUMBER BY USING THE
FILL HANDLE. LET US SAY THAT FOR EVERY EMPLOYEE FROM PERAZA TO MERILL, THERE WILL BE AN
ADDITIONAL 1 GUEST. USING THE FILL HANDLE, THE FORMULA THAT I’VE USED IN CELL D6 WILL BE
APPLIED TO THE SUCCEEDING CELLS
NEXT, I WOULD TRY TO CUT AND PASTE CELLS, FIRST I SELECTED THE CELLS FROM B8 TO B10. IN THE
HOME TAB, PRESS “CUT OPTION” YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT THE BORDER OF THE SELECTED CUT CELLS
WOULD BE MOVING LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS THEN, SELECT THE LOCATION WHERE TO PASTE THE CUT
CELLS. YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT THE CONTENTS MOVED
NOW, I WOULD DEMONSTRATE HOW TD DELETE A CELL. FIRST, SELECT THE CELL THAT YOU WOULD
WANT TO DELETE, IN THE HOME TAB PRESS, “DELETE” THEN YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT THE
SUCCEEDING DATA SHIFTED UPWARD.
THE LAST THING THAT I WOULD SHOW IS HOW TO DRAG AND DROP CELLS, FIRST, SELECT THAT CELLS
THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO DRAG, THEN MAKE SURE THE WHITE PLUS WOULD BECOME A BLACK PLUS
SIGN WITH ARROWHEAD THEN DRAG, AND THEN DROP. THAT’S IT.
INSIGHTS:
In this challenge, I have learned some actions done in the MS Excel 2010 such as how to insert
text and numbers using the fill handle, cut and paste cells; delete cells and dragging and
dropping cells.
As for inserting text and numbers, one great technique to use is the fill handle because it is very
quick and precise unlike with manually typing in the contents for each cell which would take a
longer time to do.
As for cutting and pasting cells, you just have to select the cell/s that you would want to cut,
then after which in the home tab, press “cut” option then select the location where you would
want to paste the cut cell/s.
Third, as for deleting cells, you just need to select the cell that you would want to delete than
press the “delete” option located in the home tab. You would notice that the succeeding data or
content would shift upward. Take note, this is different from “clear content” which has no effect
of upward shirt of data
Lastly, as for dragging and dropping cells, the key thing that you must observe to successfully
drag the cells is the change of the white plus sign to black plus sign with 4 arrowheads. After the
change, you could not drag the selected cells to the location where you would want to place
them.
All in all, I really find our discussion about cell basic an addition to the things that I know in
using the MS Excel.

GENERAL PURPOSE,
CONTINUATION:
SELECTED CELL/ ACTIVE CELL (CELL WITH BLACK THICK BORDER; ROW AND COLUMN HEADING ARE
HIGHLIGHTED)
FILL HANDLE –
Insert – comment – “user:…………….” Will appear whenever you click the cell
“=2+2”
Function:
“=sum( select cell you want to add C5:C8) =SUM(E6,E9)
SELECT CELL CONTAINNG THE CONTENT, GO TO CLEAR COMMAND IN THE RIBBON “CLEAR CONTENTS”
IF YOU DELETE THE ENTIRE CELL, THE SUCCEEDING CELL WILL SHIFT UP
COPY BUTTON ON THE HOME TAB, YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT IN THE BORDER, OF THE COPIED
CONTENT HAS A MOVING BORDER
WE ARE GOING TO CUT AND CELL CONTENT, WE MUST SELECT FIRST THE CELL THAT WE WANT TO CUT,
ON THE HOME TAB, PRESS THE CUT COMMAND, THE XMAS BORDER WILL APPEAR THEN LOOK FOR THE
CELL THAT YOU WANT TO PASE THE CUT CONTENT
CUT AND PASTE – THE CELL THAT WAS CUT WAS MOVED TO OTHER CELL
RIGHT CLICK, ON THE DIALOG BOX, CHOOSE THE FORMATTING COMMAND THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO
APPLY
FOR EXAMPLE CELL B5-B8, YOU SHOULD WAIT FOR YOU MOUSE WITH ONE OF THE SIDES OF THE BOC,
IT WILL CHANCE WITH BLACK ARROWS AND RELEASE
HOME AND PRESS “FORMAT” YOU WOULD SEE THE DEFAULT HEIGHT AND WIDTH
IN BETWEEN COLUMN A AND B – DOUBLE HEADED ARROW, ADJUST THE WIDTH OF THE COLUMN
INSERT TAB
