Today’s Learning Outcomes
By the completion of today's meeting, students will
be able to :
─ Identify the importance of excel as a calculation tool.
─ Understand excel environment and know how to make
editing and formatting for excel cells.
─ Revise excel built-in functions and know how to use.
─ Practice working with data in excel environment and
creating tables suitable for a given set of data.
─ Create different types of charts and graphs using excel.
─ Apply excel to help in solving design problems. 3
Why Excel ?
 Excel is the industry standard spreadsheet
application in government and business.
 It is widely used for home and personal use
as well.
 Excel helps you to store, organize,
manipulate data, and perform calculations
 Present results with graphical & statistical
tools.
 Also, do lots of other stuff too.

Why Excel ?
 Easily keep track of personal and business
finances.
 Present data clearly and professionally,
 And improve productivity & efficiency at
work.
 Excel is a powerful application for advanced
users.
 But it’s also simple and intuitive for
beginners.

Excel Environment

6
 Excel Environment

 From Excel 2007 onwards, the Ribbon replaced menus as

Excel’s way of showing commands.
 The ribbon is made up of multiple Tabs.
 The Home Tab includes common tasks for editing and formatting
data.
 The Insert Tab is used to add elements such as tables,
illustrations, charts and filters.

7
Excel Environment

 The Page Layout Tab is used to layout a page for

printing, and to arrange worksheet elements.

 The Formulas Tab is used to insert and check functions

and formulas.
8
Excel Environment

 The Data Tab contains buttons to import, sort, filter,

manipulate and analyze data.

 The Review Tab is used to proof, protect and comment

on worksheets.
9
Excel Environment

 The View Tab is mostly used to change how the

worksheet appears on the screen.

10
Editing & Formatting
A) Working with Merged Cells;
 choose Home➜Alignment➜Merge & Center

11
Editing & Formatting
B) Using the Style gallery & Conditional Formation;
 Excel comes with dozens of predefined styles, and you
apply these styles in the Style gallery (located in the
Home➜Styles group).

12
Editing & Formatting
C) Merging styles from other workbooks;
 If you created some custom styles, you probably don’t
want to go through all the work to create copies of those
styles in each new Excel workbook.
 To merge styles from another workbook, open both the
workbook that contains the styles you want
to merge and the workbook into which you want to
merge styles.
 From the workbook into which you want to merge styles,
activate the Style gallery and choose Merge Styles. The
Merge Styles dialog box opens with a list of all open
workbooks. Select the workbook that contains the styles
you want to merge and click OK. 13
Editing & Formatting
D) Using the Format Painter;

E) Inserting a Watermark;
 A watermark is an image (or text) that appears on a
printed page.

Choose View➜Workbook Views➜Page Layout View to

enter Page Layout view.

14
Functions & Formulas
A) Create A formula;

B) About the Watch Window;

 If you have a large spreadsheet model, you might find it
helpful to monitor the values in a few key cells as you
change various input cells. The Watch Window feature
makes this task very simple.
 To display the Watch Window, choose
Formulas➜Formula Auditing➜Watch Window.
15
Functions & Formulas
C) AutoSum Function;
 In the Home➜Editing group and in the
Formulas➜Function Library group.

 the same one that appears when you choose

Formulas➜Function Library➜Insert Function.

 The Autosum can be used to sum each row and 16

each column individually.
Functions & Formulas
D) Converting Between Measurement Systems;
 The Excel CONVERT function can convert between a
variety of measurements in these categories:

 The CONVERT function requires three arguments: the

value to be converted, the from-unit, and the to-unit.

17
Working with Data & Tables
A) Selecting Cells Efficiently;
 Selecting a range by using the Shift and arrow keys.
 To select the entire block of cells, move the cell pointer
anywhere within the range and press Ctrl+A
 Selecting noncontiguous ranges “Press Ctrl as you click
and drag the mouse to highlight individual cells”.
 To select a single row, click a row number along the left
of the worksheet. Or select any cell in the row and press
Shift+spacebar.
 To select a single column, click a column letter along the
top of the worksheet. Or select any cell in the column
and press Ctrl+spacebar. 18
Working with Data & Tables
B) Automatically Filling a Range with a Series;
 If you need to fill a range with a series of values, one
approach is to enter the first value, write a formula to
calculate the next value, and copy the formula.
C) Transposing a Range;

19
Working with Data & Tables
D) Using Flash Fill to Extract Data;
 Flash Fill uses pattern recognition to extract data (and
also concatenate data) from adjoining columns. Just
enter a few examples in a column that’s adjacent to the
data, and then choose Data➜Data Tools➜Flash Fill (or
press Ctrl+E).

20
Graphs & Charts
A) Understanding Recommended Charts;
 Select your data, choose Insert➜ Charts ➜
Recommended Charts, and Excel responds by
displaying the Recommended Charts of the Insert Chart
dialog box.

21
Graphs & Charts
B) Customizing Charts;
 Adding or  Modifying a  Filtering chart
removing chart style or data
chart elements colors

22
Graphs & Charts
C) Creating a Chart Template;
 If you find that you’re continually making the same types
of customizations to your charts, you can probably save
some time by creating a template.
 Creating a chart template is actually very simple.

23
Graphs & Charts
C) Creating a Chart Template;
Using a template.
 To create a chart based on a template you’ve created,
follow these steps:

24
Graphs & Charts
D) Handling Missing Data in a Chart;
 Sometimes, data that you’re charting may be missing
one or more data points.

25
Graphs & Charts
D) Handling Missing Data in a Chart;
 To specify how to deal with missing data for a chart,
choose Chart Tools➜Design➜Data➜Select Data.
 In the Select Data Source dialog box, click the Hidden
and Empty Cells button. The Hidden and Empty Cell
Settings dialog box appears.

 The option that you choose applies to the entire chart,

and you can’t set a different option for different series in
the same chart.

Using Excel in Design

27
Where do you think that we may need excel in the design process?
Activity: Design of Wind Turbine
Nonrenewable resources such as coal and natural gas are the main
sources of energy for many parts of the world. However, these
energy resources are harmful to the environment and supplies are
limited. Resources such as wind possess great potential because
they are renewable and nonpolluting. The “client,” is the Saudi
Ministry of Water & Electricity, who believes that resources
such as wind possess great potential.

The client will base their decision on a combination of:

1. Selection of suitable locations for wind farms in Saudi Arabia.
2. Selection of the wind turbine power.
3. Design of the wind turbine rotor blades (materials and dimensions).
4. You are required to use excel and design a wind mill of variant power
output at different localities in the kingdom 28
Activity: Design of Wind Turbine
 The Power of Wind Turbine can be calculated by

 Calculate the power for a given house in a certain

Locality say Jeddah:-
 Average Air velocity (V)=3.5 m/s
 Turbine radius variable R=1 5.5 m with
increment of 0.5 m
 Two cases of Cp (Cp1=0.3 & Cp2=0.56)
 Eff=0.8
 Air Density =1.22 kg/m3 29
