Spreadsheets are software packages used for mathematical and statistical calculations. Common spreadsheet packages include Google Sheets, LibreOffice, Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Symphony, and Microsoft Excel. Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that organizes data into rows and columns with cells at each intersection that can contain values, text, or formulas. Excel has key components like worksheets, the workbook, cells, the formula bar, and ribbons for accessing commands. Common Excel functions include SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, IF, TRIM, MAX, MIN, and CONCATENATE.

MICROSOFT EXCEL
Microsoft excel is a spread sheet program used to record and analyze
numerical and statistical data in a tabular form. Or it is an application
software that provides worksheets with rows and columns that are used to
enter, organize and process data into a useful end.
Unlike a word processor, Excel organizes the data in columns and rows. The
rows and columns intersect in a cell. Each cell contains a single piece of data
such as text, a numerical value, or a formula.

EXCEL ENVIRONMENT
TERMINOLOGIES IN MICRO SOFT EXCEL
 WORKSHEET: a worksheet is a page in a workbook which consist of rows
and columns.
 WORKBOOK: a workbook is a collection multiple worksheets. By default,
a workbook has three worksheets.
 CELL: a cell is the intersection of rows and columns. A highlighted cell is
called an active cell.
 MERGE CELL: this is when two or more cells are combined.
 FORMULA BAR: this is located between ribbon and workbook. It display
the content of an active cell.
 RIBBON: Excel ribbon is the row of tabs and icons at the top of excel
window that allows you to quickly find and use commands for completing a
certain task.
 AUTOFILL: it enables you to effortlessly copy data to more than one cell
 AUTOSUM: It add up the numbers you have entered in your sheet and
displays the total in another cell of your choice.
EXCELL FORMULAS: in excel, a formula is an expression that operates on
values in a range of cells. Every formula in excel begins with an equal to
sign eg =A1+A2+A3 enter. Finds the sum of the values in those cells
FUNCTIONS: These are predefined formulas in excel. They help to
eliminate laborious manual entry of formulas.
SUM FUNCTION
Example: =sum (A1:A3) Enter. The function sums all the values from
A1toA3. =sum (A2:A3) enter sums the values in a given column
=sum (B2:G2) Enter, sums the values in a given row.
=sum (A2:A8)/20 shows you can also turn your function into a formula
AVERAGE FUNCTION
The average function should remind you of simple averages of data.
= Average (number1,number2,…)
Example: = Average (B2:B11)- shows a simple average also similar to
(sum(B2:B11)/10)
COUNT FUNCTION
The count function counts all cells in a given range that contain only
numeric values.
= count (value1, [value2],…)
Example: count(A:A) counts all values that are numerical in a column.
IF FUNCTION: the IF function is often used when you want to sort your
data according to a given logic.
Example: =IF (C2<D3,”TRUE”,”FALSE”)- checks if the value at C3is less
than the value at D3. If the logic is true, let the cell value be TRUE,
otherwise FALSE
TRIM FUNCTION: The Trim function makes sure your functions do not
return errors due to extra spaces in your data. It ensures that all empty spaces
are eliminated.
= TRIM (Text)
= Trim (A2) enter
MAX & MIN FUNCTION
The MAX and MIN functions help in finding the maximum number and the
minimum number in a range of values.
Example: = MIN (B2:C11) enter finds the minimum number between
column B from B2 and column C from C2 to row 11 in both columns B and
C
= MAX (B2:C11), similarly, it finds the maximum number between column
B from B2 and column C from C2 to row 11 in both columns B and C
CONCATENATE FUNCTION:
The concatenate function is used to join two or more text strings into one
string.
Syntax: concatenate (text1,[text2],…)
Example:
=concatenate(A2,” “,B2) enter
