<!--EXCEL SPREADSHEET

FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS


formulas:
a type of information that can be entered into a spreadsheet cell. It is a
mathematical statement. Formulas are simple =A1 + A2 or A1* A2

Autofill- fills a range in a set direction using a fill handle


the range is filled with values which are either copied from the intially
selected cell or based on a patter on selected cells

Function : a function is a formula but a bit more advanced and is defined as a


built in mathematical formula and is used for common calculations the syntax is
=functionname(1 or more arguments)

If function - given a condition carrys out a specific task


syntax =if([cell address]>=[value],"first result(true)","result
otherwise(false)")
example =if(B2:>30,"b2 is greater than 30","b2 is smaller than 30")

COUNT IF FUNCTION - count the amount of a given thing if it meets a condition


syntax =countif(cell range,"conditon")
example =countif(A2:E5, "<200")

PMT function - calculates a payment due based on interest rates and amount of
payments to be made
syntax =pmt(rate/amount of payment in a year, total amount of payments,NEGATIVE
amount owed )
example =pmt(15/12,120,-50000)

VLOOKUP function - searching for a specific piece of information knowing the


keyword in finding it and a relative idea of its location False gives exact
match. True gives an aproximate match. True can help false
syntax =vlookup("keyword",Cell range, column number, true or false. usually
false)
example =vlookup("Sydney", A6:C15, 3, false). What this is doing is giving the
exact piece of information related to sydney which can be found in the 3rd column
of the range A6: C15

COUNTA: counts the number of cells that arent blank


COUNT: counts the number of cless that contain numbers
-->

<!-- ADVANCED FEATURES


Referrencing - basic cell referecing is just the actual cell referrence which is
the interscection of a column/field or row/record. A column could be 1 and a row
could be b
making the cell referrence B1.
Their are certain types of referrecing for specific purposes.
Cross sheet referrecning is for referring data from one sheet to another rather
than
typing in out for instance lets say c7 on the sheet called "money" contains a
paragraph with steps to get rich a way to bring that another sheet without retyping
it is
=sheetname!cell referrence for e.g =Sheet6!C2
this can help speed up calculations

Relative Referrencing- this the basic cell referrence. row + column

Absolute Referrencing- simply a referrence where the coordinates for the row
and column stay constant
idk how they'd change but yeh to refer to a row and column which stay
constant this is done by addings $ in front the addresses.
E.g. $D$2
This is primarily used when one piece of info will be used in multiple places
at once

Mixed Referrencing- a referrence where the coordinates for the row OR the
column stay constant.
E.g. $D2 or D$2

ive now realized the use of these excel has a tendency of autofilling
information based on a patter when u paste something so if u were to paste d1 in a
row if u tried to paste in the row below it it would like put d2 following the
pattern.

Sorting - organizing data withing a sheet in a certain order whether being


ascending or descending.
How do you sort in excel?
1.Select the data you want to to sort
2.Select the data on the menu bar at the top
3.Select sort and choose the order to be sorted whether ascending or
descending
You can also sort a whole lot of information by just one field in it
1.Select the data you want to sort
2. Select the sort on the menur bar
3. Select which field to sort by whether ascending or descending
There is also multi-field sorting but thats self explanitory

Filtering - as the name suggests filters records that are on a worksheet. Keeping
certain informationn and getting rid of excess based on a set criteria.
We have auto filter and advance filter
Advance Filter - with this you can input the records you want to be filtered,
the location of the criteria to use when filtering and whether or not you want the
filtered table to take place of the original table or be copied to another location
Steps in advanced filtering
1. Create the criteria table( jus the table u wanna filter doe mek the big
fool fool words confuse u)
2. Highlight or select the area where you are taking data from
3. Select data on the menu bar(at the top)
4. Select data then Filter option
5. Select Advanced filter, there will be a pop up
6. Click on the first button
7. Enter the area to be used in the filter
8. Cick on the same button to back in the filter options
9. Click the next button immediately below
11. Select copy to another location at the top of the box
12. Click on the arrowe In the "copy to section" to select where you want
the data to go
13.Click on the same button again
14. Select ok

<!-- COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS


IT is the study of data and data processing or manipulation and can involve the
management of computer systems
It offers 4 core services:
1.Business Process Automation
2. Means to connect with customers
3. Improve Productivity
4. Access to information

Types of computer systems


1. Supercomputer- the fastest computer system with the fastest processing speed
and the largest computer with the intended purpose of perfroming complex scientifc
research and scientific simulations such as energy, space exploring and medicine.
These are used at large organizations such as NASA. EXAMPLE CREY
2.Mainframe - the second fastest and largest computer system which is meant to
be used to constantly access the same information a numberous amount of times. This
is usally used in large organizations like banks or insurance agencies. Example IBM
Z ENTERPRISE
3. Desktop - Personal use computers
4. Mobile Devices
5. Embedded devices -

Storage
Primary Storage
Secondary Storage- otherwise know as backup storage is meant to store data or
information when it is not being processed or better said when not being used. From
this i can infer that this a permanent form of data storing. Examples of some
secondary storage devices are Hard Drives, Solid State Drives, CD DVD Bluray,
Floppy disk ETC.

To compare different secondary storage devices one must focus on three terms,
Its 1. Speed - this refers to how fast the information stored can be accessed
or located when needed
Speaking of being able to access information there are 2 main ways computer
systems are able to access information that is stored.
Direct(Random) Access and Sequential Access
Direct or Random access is where any piece of information can be
accessed without the need of going through multiple data to get it. It can be
located Directly
Sequential Access is the need of going through a sequence of or
multiple data to get to a specific pice of data
2.Storage Capacity - this refers to the amount of data that can be stored
on the storage device
3.Portability- this refers to how easy it would be to transfer the device
or data on the device between computer systems
Last thing we have storage devices and storage media.
The difference is that the storage media is the physical component which the
storage devices reads information to and from. Examples Include
Hard DISK drive, Floppy DISK drive and CD-ROM drives

<!--INFORMATION PROCESSING

TYPES OF ERRORS
Transmisson error- their is an issue when the transmitting of data is carried
out when data is sent from one device to another the data that was sent is differnt
from what was recieceved due to a degredation of signal

/*LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY


Candidate's name =
Date:
Topic:Mechanics
Title:Conservation of Energy
Aim:To investigagte the law of conservation of energy
Apparatus:tennis ball, meter ruler, smooth leveled surface, set square and digital
scale

Procedure:
1.Measure the mass of the ball
2.Allow the meter ruller to stand such that it is leveled
3.Place the ball at 100cm then release the ball
4.Record the rebound height
5.Repeat 3 times and take an average for the readings
6.Repeat the procedure for the same height then take an average
7.Repeat the steps 2-5 for 90-60cm
7.Tabulate the data
9.Plot a graph of inital height against rebound height

Method:
1)A Student must measure the mass of the ball whilst taking any calibration
errors into consideration and also checking thoroughly for variations of uniformity
in the ball.
2)On the smooth leveled surface student must make use of the set square to be an
artificial wall and while another braces the ruler vertically against its vertical
side.
3)Raise the ball to the 100cm mark(top)of the ruler ensuring the bottom of the
ball is inline by being at eye level then release the ball.
4)Another Student must be squatted or seated being initially eye level with the
center of the ruler and as accurately as possible trail the balls ascension to get
the rebound height
5)Students must repeat the following strategy thrice and average out all
readings(a) and repeating again to take an average of both(b). Average a and b

6)Repeat steps 2-5 for heights 90-60cm


7)From this extract a table;tabulating the data
8)Plot of a graph of initial height against rebound height to test accuracyy

OBSERVATION OF RESULTS TO BE MADE


GRAPH TO BE PLOTTED

Candidate's name

Data Analysis:
State the law of conservation of energy:
the law of conservation of energy states that energy cant be created nor
destroyed it can only be transferred between mediums and if a system is isolated
its total energy should be constant despite of any internal changes

What observation can be made about the rebound height and the inital height of the
ball?
To future steven i havent done the table yet but i can infer that the intial
height of the ball will be directly proportional to its rebound height provided its
bounced off the same surface and there are not any parts in the ball dented or
lacking uniformity
and also the rebound height will have a decrease in height from the initial
height on by a relative scale meaning the difference will be around the same

Describe energy transformation which take place during the experiment.


The major energy transformation in the ball is from gravitational potential
energy to kinetic energy when the ball is suspended in the air at constant
potentional energy then let go in which gravitational potentional energy increases
as falling then transformed into elastic potential energy when there is ground
contact and finally into kinetic energy causing it to rebound

Sources of error:
1.Systematic error: imperfect scale calibration
2. The ball having a small unnoticable dent

Precaution:
1.Calculate the inaccuracy of the scale to subtract from the final amount for
accurate calculations.
2.Thoroughly check the ball to ensure it is uniformed

Conclusion: Honestly mnk yet*/
