Introduction to Microsoft Excel: Basic Functions


1. Understanding Excel:
Excel is a spreadsheet program that helps us work with numbers, data, and formulas. It
consists of a grid made up of rows and columns. Each box in the grid is called a cell, and we
can enter numbers, text, or formulas into these cells.
2. Basic Functions:
 Entering Data
 Formatting Cells
 Simple Formulas
Formulas are equations that perform calculations in Excel. Here are a few examples:
 Addition: To add two or more numbers, type the formula `=A1+B1` in a cell. This
adds the values in cells A1 and B1.
 Subtraction: To subtract numbers, use the minus sign (-). For example, `=A1-B1`
subtracts the value in B1 from A1.
 Multiplication: Use the asterisk symbol (*) to multiply numbers. For instance,
`=A1*B1` multiplies the values in A1 and B1.
 Division: To divide numbers, use the forward slash (/). For example, `=A1/B1`
divides the value in A1 by B1.
3. Using AutoSum
AutoSum is a helpful feature in Excel that automatically calculates the sum of a range of
numbers. Here's how to use it:
1) Click on an empty cell where you want the sum to appear.
2) Click on the AutoSum button (Σ) on the toolbar.
3) Excel will automatically select what it thinks is the range you want to sum. If it's
correct, press Enter. Otherwise, adjust the selection manually by dragging your
cursor.
4. Creating Simple Charts
Excel allows us to create visual representations of data using charts. Here's a basic chart
creation process:
1) Select the range of data you want to include in the chart.
2) Click on the Insert tab on the Excel toolbar.
3) Choose the type of chart you want to create, such as a bar chart or a pie chart.
4) Excel will generate the chart based on your data selection.
Tips and Tricks

present your data.
