Electronic Spreadsheet
1. What is Consolidating data?
Answer – The Data Consolidation tool summarizes data from multiple

worksheets or workbooks into a single worksheet that you can simply update.
Consolidate has a graphical interface for copying data from one set of cells to
another and then performing one of a dozen operations on it. Consolidation
allows the contents of cells from many sheets to be consolidated in one location.
2. What is Subtotal? Explain its advantages.
Subtotal in OpenOffice electronic spreadsheet refers to a function that calculates

the subtotal of a range of values within a list or table. This function can be used
to summarize data by category or group, allowing you to quickly see the total for
each group.
Advantages of using Subtotal in OpenOffice electronic spreadsheet:
● Easy data analysis by grouping and summarizing data based on criteria.

● Improved accuracy by automating subtotal calculations and reducing
errors.
● Increased efficiency by saving time and effort.
● Enhanced organization by grouping data into categories and
subcategories.
● Customizable grouping and calculation criteria for flexibility in data
analysis.
●
3.What is Goal Seek? Explain its advantages.
Answer – The word “goal seeking” refers to the act of determining your input
value based on a previously determined output value. The method entails the
use of a certain operator in a formula that may be calculated with computer
software.
Example: Set Cell: This specifies the cell whose value will be changed to the
desired value after the Goal Seek operation is completed.
For instance, Jack received a 25 out of 30 in English and a 22 out of 30 in Math.
In order to calculate the score in IT, he needs to acquire an overall score of 85
percent. As a result, a goal has been established, and according to it, Jack will
discover one unknown variable, IT marks.
4. What is Scenario?
Answer – Scenarios in OpenOffice electronic spreadsheet refer to a feature that

allows you to create and compare different sets of data to explore different
outcomes or possibilities. Scenarios are useful when you want to explore how
changes in data will affect your calculations, such as in financial modeling or
forecasting.
“what-if” analysis in scenarios, you can test different possibilities and explore the
potential impact of changes to your data, helping you make more informed
decisions.
Advantages of using Scenarios in OpenOffice electronic spreadsheet:
● Allows you to explore different outcomes or possibilities based on changes

to your data.
● Helps you to better understand your data and make more informed
decisions.
● Particularly useful in financial modeling, forecasting, and other areas where
you need to explore the impact of different variables on your data.
● Provides a way to compare and contrast different sets of data and their
potential impact.
● Can save time by allowing you to easily create and test different scenarios.
5. What is Solver?
Answer – The Solver option in the Tools menu is essentially a more advanced
version of Goal Seek
The Solver, on the other hand, deals with equations involving several unknown
variables. It is meant to minimise or maximise the result based on a set of rules
that you specify.
6. Differentiate between relative and absolute hyperlinks.
Answer – An absolute hyperlink will stop working only if the target is moved. A
relative hyperlink will stop working only if the source and target locations change
relative to each other.
Suppose, if you have two spreadsheets in the same folder linked to each other
and you move the entire folder to a new location, a relative hyperlink will not
break a link.
8. How can we rename a worksheet in Spreadsheet?
Answer – You can rename a worksheet in three different ways, with the only
difference being how you begin the renaming process. You can choose from the
following options:
Select one of the existing worksheet names with a double-click.
Right-click an existing worksheet name, then select Rename from the Context
menu that appears.
Select the worksheet you want to rename (by clicking on the worksheet tab), then
choose Sheet from the Format menu. This brings up a submenu, from which you
should choose Rename.
8. What is the advantage of sharing worksheet data?

Answer –
Enhance the speed of data entering
To facilitate collaboration, make things easy.
9. Explain features and use of Record changes.

Answer – Calc offers a feature that allows you to keep track of what data was
modified, when it was updated, who performed the modification, and which cell it
happened in.
A coloured border appears around a cell where changes were made, with a dot
in the upper left-hand corner. Other reviewers will easily notice which cells have
been changed. A strong coloured bar indicates a deleted column or row.
10. What is the purpose of adding comments?

Answer – Comments from reviewers and authors can be added to explain
their changes.
11. How can we add comments to the changes made?

Answer – To add a remark to a modification, use the following syntax:
Make the necessary changes to the spreadsheet.
2. Select the cell that has been changed.
3. Select Edit > Changes > Comments from the drop-down menu. The following
dialogue box appears. Calc’s automatically added comment displays in the title
bar of this dialogue and is not editable.
4. Click OK after typing your own comment.
12. Explain features of accepting or rejecting changes.
Answer – The beauty of the recording changes mechanism becomes apparent
when you receive a worksheet with changes. You can now go through each
change like the original author and decide how to proceed. To get started, do the
following:
1. Open the worksheet that has been changed.
2. Select Edit > Changes > Accept or Reject from the drop-down menu. The
dialogue box displayed below will appear.
3. Calc goes through each modification one by one. As you go through the
process, you can accept or reject each adjustment. If you wish to, you can also
pick Accept all and reject all.
13. What are Macros? How can we record a Macro?

Answer – When the same set of operations must be completed repeatedly, such
as formatting or applying a similar formula to a similar piece of data, macros can
save time. It can be used to name and track a sequence of events.
To record a macro, follow these steps:
1. Input data
2. Before performing any operation, go to tools->macro->record macro.
3. Now repeat the motion you just did.
4. Select “Stop Recording” from the drop-down menu. Now save the macro by
giving it a name.
