Mini Lesson in Empowerment Technology Advanced Excel Formulas

This document provides a mini lesson on using formulas in Microsoft Excel. It discusses the basic parts of the Excel interface and introduces formulas and functions. As an example, it shows a worksheet calculating total allowances per week based on days and daily amounts. It teaches that formulas with cell references prefixed by $ signs will keep those references fixed when copied to other cells. Students are then asked to identify Excel interface parts and write formulas to calculate totals from the sample data.

I. Objectives: Identify the different parts of a excel interface.

II. Lesson Proper:


Microsoft Excel, the Microsoft’s spreadsheet software is considered the industry standard piece of
software in data analysis and happens to be one of the most preferred software by investment bankers
and financial analysts in data processing, financial modelling and presentation (Corporate Finance
Institute, 2019). It is also used in education and small businesses to make computations easier. If you
hate mathematics because of numbers and you’re head is aching because of computing, then there are
techniques you can do in Excel to make it easier.

It is important to know the two basic ways to perform calculations in Excel: Formulas and Functions. A
formula is an expression that operates on values in a range of cells or a cell while function is a predefined
formula.

Simple Formula

Take a look at the worksheet below.

To get the 250 for [Total Allowance per Week], multiply [Days per Week] and [Amount per Day]. So the
formula to be typed in cell C2 is =E7 * B2. B2 is the cell that contains the value for [Amount per Day] for
Food. E7 is the cell that contains the value for [Days per Week] which is 5. If you will copy the formula to
cell C3, it will be changed to =E8 * B3, where cell E8 is empty and will give a result of 0. Change the
formula in cell C2 to =$E$7 * B2. And copy it to cell C3. The cell reference E7 did not change when you
copied it to another cell because of the $ symbol. The $ signs in the formulas are simply to prevent these
references from adjusting.

A. Identify the commonly used parts in MS Excel pointed in each number.

B. Identify the basic formulas used to solve the given problem for each number.

#1. What is the formula to get the total allowance for Day 1 (without using function)?
