Grade 6 – Unit 3 ‐ MS Excel – Lessons 1 to 5

Introduction:

Microsoft Excel is a member of the spreadsheet family of software. Spreadsheet software is


used to store information in columns and rows which can then be organized and/or processed.
Spreadsheets are designed to work well with numbers but often include text. Sometimes text in
a spreadsheet is called a label, because it is labeling columns and rows of numbers. Numbers
are called values sometimes, and can include numbers for counts or measurements, dates,
times, and calculations from numbers. Spreadsheets can help organize information, like
alphabetizing a list of names or other text or reordering records according to a numeric field.
However, spreadsheets are more often used for calculating, such as totaling a column of
numbers or generating a more sophisticated formula to calculate some statistical measure on a
list of numbers.

Lesson 1 – Introduction to MS Excel

Introduction: Microsoft Excel is a member of the spreadsheet family of software. Spreadsheet


software is used to store information in columns and rows which can then be organized and/or
processed. Spreadsheets are designed to work well with numbers but often include text.
Sometimes text in a spreadsheet is called a label, because it is labeling columns and rows of
numbers. Numbers are called values sometimes, and can include numbers for counts or
measurements, dates, times, and calculations from numbers. Spreadsheets can help organize
information, like alphabetizing a list of names or other text or reordering records according to a
numeric field. However, spreadsheets are more often used for calculating, such as totaling a
column of numbers or generating a more sophisticated formula to calculate some statistical
measure on a list of numbers.

The Workbook ‐ Most of the Excel screen is devoted to the display of the workbook. The
workbook consists of grids and columns. The intersection of a row and column is a rectangular
area called a cell.

Cells ‐ The workbook is made up of cells. There is a cell at the intersection of each row and
column. A cell can contain a value, a formula, or a text entry. A text entry is used to label or
explain the contents of the workbook. A value entry can either be a constant or the value of a
formula. The value of a formula will change when the components (arguments) of the formula
change. The appeal of spreadsheet programs is the ability to change one value and watch all
other values that depend on that first value automatically change when the spreadsheet is
recalculated.

Rows, Columns, and Sheets –


• The Excel worksheet contains 16,384 rows that extend down the worksheet, numbered
1 through 16384.
• The Excel worksheet contains 256 columns that extend across the worksheet, lettered A
through Z, AA through AZ, BA through BZ, and continuing to IA through IZ.
• The Excel worksheet can contain as many as 256 sheets, labeled Sheet1 through
Sheet256. The initial number of sheets in a workbook, which can be changed by the user
is 16.
• That comes out to over 4,194,000 cells of information and that's only on the first
sheet!!!

Cell References ‐ Cell references are the combination of


column letter and row number. For example, the upper‐left
cell of a worksheet is A1.
