Cell Basics Lecture and Assignment 2

The document discusses various basic actions that can be performed in Microsoft Excel 2010, including inserting text and numbers using the fill handle, cutting and pasting cells, deleting cells, and dragging and dropping cells. It provides step-by-step explanations of how to perform each action, such as selecting cells, using the fill handle to copy formulas vertically and horizontally, cutting and pasting selected cells, deleting a cell which shifts remaining cells up, and dragging cells by changing the mouse pointer icon.

SO FOR THIS CHALLENGE I WOULD BE DEMONSTRATING THE BASIC ACTIONS THE COULD BE DONE

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

THIS COULD ALSO BE DONE VERTICALLY

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.

CONTINUATION:

SELECTED CELL/ ACTIVE CELL (CELL WITH BLACK THICK BORDER; ROW AND COLUMN HEADING ARE
HIGHLIGHTED)

FILL HANDLE –

FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS

SELECT MULTIPLE CELL

“=now()” – date today

Insert – comment – “user:…………….” Will appear whenever you click the cell

Formulas and function

“=2+2”

Function:
“=sum( select cell you want to add C5:C8) =SUM(E6,E9)

YOU WANT TO CLEAR CONTENTS

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

CREATE OR MAKE THE CHALLENGE – INCLUDE YOUR VOICE

WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED IN THE COMMENTS

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND VOICE IT OUT:

TO COPY AND PASTE CELL CONTENT,

ALL WE NEED TO DO IS WE MUST HAVE FIRST A CELL CONTENT

FOR EXAMPLE ON CELL B3 “EMPLOYEE” ON C3 “ATTENDING” AND D3 “NOT ATTENDING”

ON B5, I WOULD TYPE IN THE NAME OF THE EMPLOYEES,

WE MUST SELECT CELL THAT WE WOULD WANT TO COPY,

COPY BUTTON ON THE HOME TAB, YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT IN THE BORDER, OF THE COPIED
CONTENT HAS A MOVING BORDER

HIGHLIGHT 2 CELLS AND THEN CLICK PASTE

CUT AND PASTE CELL CONTENT:

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

USE PASTE COMMAND


INSIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

WHEN WE DO COPY PASTE – IT DUPLICATES THE CELL CONTENT THAT WE COPIED

CUT AND PASTE – THE CELL THAT WAS CUT WAS MOVED TO OTHER CELL

FOR YOU TO ACCESS MORE PASTE OPTION,

RIGHT CLICK, ON THE DIALOG BOX, CHOOSE THE FORMATTING COMMAND THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO
APPLY

DRAG AND DROP CELL

SELECT THE CELL THAT WE WANT TO MOVE

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

WHITE CROSS , TO BLACK CROSS THEN DRAG

MODIFYING COLUMNS, ROWS AND

DEFAULT OF HEIGHT AND WIDTH

HOME AND PRESS “FORMAT” YOU WOULD SEE THE DEFAULT HEIGHT AND WIDTH

CELL A1 – “SAN MIGUEL CORPORATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS”

IN BETWEEN COLUMN A AND B – DOUBLE HEADED ARROW, ADJUST THE WIDTH OF THE COLUMN

SELECT B1 AND C1 , FORMAT IN THE HOME TAB TO MAX OF 225

“AUTOFIT COLUMN WIDTH”

SELECT ROW HEIGHT


INSERT CELL

INSERT TAB

PRESS BRUSH “CLEAR FORMATTING
