    INTRODUCTION TO MS EXCEL

    OBJECTIVES:
    • Making worksheets in Excel
    • Making tables using Excel sheets
    • Editing/formatting tables

    BRIEF HISTORY:
    Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet software developed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows. It
    features calculation, graphing tools, pivot table, and a programming language called visual
    basic for applications. It has been a very widely applied spreadsheet for these platforms,
    especially since version 5 in 1993, and it has replaced Lotus as the industry standard for
    spreadsheets. Excel forms part of Microsoft Office suite of software.

    Basic operation
    Microsoft Excel has the basic features of all spreadsheets, using a grid of cells arranged in
    numbered rows and letter-named columns to organize data manipulations like arithmetic
    operations. It has a battery of supplied functions to answer statistical, engineering and
    financial needs. In addition, it can display data as line graphs, histograms and charts, and with
    a very limited three-dimensional graphical display. It allows sectioning of data to view its
    dependencies on various factors for different perspectives (using pivot table and the scenario
    manager). It has a programming aspect, Visual Basic for Applications, allowing the user to
    employ a wide variety of numerical methods, for example, for solving differential equations
    of mathematical physics, and then reporting the results back to the spreadsheet. It also has a
    variety of interactive features allowing user interfaces that can completely hide the
    spreadsheet from the user, so the spreadsheet presents itself as a so-called application,
    or decision support system (DSS), via a custom-designed user interface, for example, a stock
    analyzer, or in general, as a design tool that asks the user questions and provides answers and
    reports. In a more elaborate realization, an Excel application can automatically poll external
    databases and measuring instruments using an update schedule, analyze the results, make
    a Microsoft Word report or Microsoft PowerPoint slide show, and e-mail these presentations
    on a regular basis to a list of participants. Excel was not designed to be used as a database.
    Microsoft allows for a number of optional command-line switches to control the manner in
    which Excel starts.
    Functions
    Excel 2016 has 484 functions. Of these, 360 existed prior to Excel 2010. Microsoft classifies
    these functions in 14 categories. Of the 484 current functions, 386 may be called from Visual

    50
    Basic as methods of the object "Worksheet Function" and 44 have the same names as VBA
    functions.

    Charts

    Graph of a fucntion made using Microsoft Excel

    Excel supports Charts, graph of a function, or histogram generated from specified groups of
    cells. The generated graphic component can either be embedded within the current sheet, or
    added as a separate object.
    These displays are dynamically updated if the content of cells change. For example, suppose
    that the important design requirements are displayed visually; then, in response to a user's
    change in trial values for parameters, the curves describing the design change shape, and their
    points of intersection shift, assisting the selection of the best design.

    PROCEDURE:
    STEP O1: OPENING EXCEL

    Go to Start. Double Click on the Microsoft Office Excel icon. Excel Window is now open.

    Excel Workbook.

    Enter your name with the extension .xlsx to save the workbook to your desired place.

    52
    STEP O3: MAKING TABLES

    Making tables in Excel is easy as the sheet is already in the table format. Add headings and
    entries corresponding to each heading.

    STEP O4: FORMATTING TABLES
