INTRODUCTION
MS-Excel 2000 is a Windows based application package. It is
quite useful in entering, editing, analysis and storing of data.
Arithmetic operations with numerical data such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division can also be done with
Excel. You can sort the numbers/characters according to some
given criteria (like ascending, descending etc.)and solve simple
financial, mathematical and statistical formulas.

OBJECTIVES
After going through this lesson, you would be in a position to

• explain the basic features of MS Excel

• set pages and their printing
• modify a worksheet
• enter and edit data in a worksheet
• work on keyboard shortcuts
EXCEL FEATURES
There are a number of features that are available in Excel to
make your task easier. Some of the main features are:
AutoFormat - lets you to choose many preset table formatting
options.
1 AutoSum - helps you to add the contents of a cluster of
adjacent cells.
2 List AutoFill - automatically extends cell formatting when a
new item is added to the end of a list.
3 AutoFill - feature allows you to quickly fill cells with repetitive
or sequential data such as chronological dates or numbers, and
repeated text. AutoFill can also be used to copy functions. You
can also alter text and numbers with this feature.
4 AutoShapes toolbar will allow you to draw a number of
geometrical shapes, arrows, flowchart elements, stars and
more. With these shapes you can draw your own graphs.
5 Wizard - guides you to work effectively while you work by
displaying various helpful tips and techniques based on what
you are doing.
Drag and Drop - feature will help you to reposition the data and
text by simply dragging the data with the help of mouse.
6 Charts - features will help you in presenting a graphical
representation of your data in the form of Pie, Bar, Line charts
and more.
7 PivotTable - flips and sums data in seconds and allows you
to perform data analysis and generating reports like periodic
financial statements, statistical reports, etc. You can also
analyse complex data relationships graphically.
8 Shortcut Menus - commands that are appropriate to the task

the symbol  to indicate the direction (steps) you have to follow.
You can also use the Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar (MSOB) as shown
in figure 12.1 to start your work on Excel.

EXCEL WORKSHEET
Excel allows you to create worksheets much like paper ledgers that
can perform automatic calculations. Each Excel file is a workbook
that can hold many worksheets. The worksheet is a grid of
columns (designated by letters) and rows (designated by
numbers). The letters and numbers of the columns and rows
(called labels) are displayed in gray buttons across the top and
left side of the worksheet. The intersection of a column and a
row is called a cell. Each cell on the spreadsheet has a cell address
that is the column letter and the row number. Cells can contain
either text, numbers, or mathematical formulas.

SELECTING CELLS AND RANGES

To enter data into your worksheet you must first have a cell or
range selected. When you open an Excel worksheet, cell A1 is
already active. An active cell will appear to have a darker border
around it than other cells on the worksheet. The simplest way
to select a cell is with your mouse pointer. Move your mouse to the
desired cell and click on it with right button. Whatever you type
goes into the cell. To select a range of cells, click on one cell,
hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse pointer to the
last cell of the range you want to select. You can also use keyboard
shortcuts given at the end of this lesson for selecting cells.

NAVIGATING THE WORKSHEET

You can advance through your worksheet by rows with the vertical
scrollbar or by columns with the horizontal scrollbar (see Figure
13.2). when you click and drag the thumb tab on the scrollbar,
a Screen Tip will appear alongside the bar identifying the row or
column to which your view is advancing. You can also use keyboard
shortcuts given at the end of this lesson for navigating the
worksheet.

DATA ENTRY
You can enter various kinds of data in a cell.
1. Numbers: Your numbers can be from the entire range of
numeric values: whole numbers (example, 25), decimals
(example, 25.67) and scientific notation (exa mp le,
0.2567E+2). Excel displays scientific notation automatically
if you enter a number that is too long to be viewed in its
entirety in a cell. You may also see number signs (# # # # #
#) when a cell entry is too long. Widening the column that
contains the cell with the above signs will allow you to read
the number.
2. Text: First select the cell in which data has to be entered
and type the text. Press ENTER key to finish your text entry.
 The text will be displayed in the active cell as well as in the
Formula bar. If you have numbers to be treated as text use
an apostrophe (‘) as the first character. You cannot do
calculations with these kind of data entry.
3. Date and Time: When you enter dates and times, Excel
converts these entries into serial numbers and kept as
background information. However, the dates and times will
be displayed to you on the worksheet in a format opted by
you. You will learn about date and time formats later in
lesson 10.
4. Data in Series: You can fill a range of cells either with the
same value or with a series of values with the help of AutoFill.

EDITING DATA
Editing your Excel worksheet data is very easy. You can edit
your data by any of the following ways:
1. Select the cell containing data to be edited. Press F2. Use
Backspace key and erase the wrong entry. Retype the correct
entry.
2. Select the cell and simply retype the correct entry.
3. If you want only to clear the contents of the cell, select the
cell and press Delete key.
4. To bring back the previous entry, either click on Undo button
on standard Toolbar or select EditUndo command or use
keyboard shortcuts CTRL+Z.

CELL REFERENCES
Each worksheet contains a number of columns and rows. Each
cell of the worksheet has a unique reference. For example, D5,
refers to the cell containing column number D and row number
5.

FIND AND REPLACE DATA IN A WORKSHEET

You may want to locate a number or text that is already typed in
the worksheet. This is done through EditFind. You can also
locate your data and replace with new data with
EditFindReplace.

WORKBOOK PROTECTION
You have learned how to save your workbook as a file. Sometimes
your data can be very confidential which you would like to protect
from unauthorized people. Protection prevents changes to all or
part of a document. You can also assign a password so that other
users can be limited in accessing protected informa- tion. A
password is case sensitive, can be up to 255 characters long, and
can contain any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
When a document is protected, this command changes to
Unprotect Document.
You can restrict access to your workbook in three ways.
1. Protect Sheet: Select ToolsProtect Sheet commands and
click. This feature prevents changes to cells on worksheets,
items in a chart, graphic objects on a worksheet or chart
sheet. When the active document is protected, the command
name changes to Unprotect Sheet. If you want to unprotect
a sheet that has been already protected. Select
ToolsUnprotect Sheet commands and click.
2. Protect Workbook: Select ToolsProtect Workbook
commands and click. This feature protects a workbook’s
structure and windows. You can prevent changes to the
structure of a workbook so that sheets can’t be deleted, moved,
hidden, unhidden, or renamed, and new sheets can’t be
inserted. You can also protect windows from being moved or
resized. When the active document is protected, the
command name changes to Unprotect Workbook. If you
want to unprotect a workbook that has been already
protected. Select ToolsUnprotect Workbook commands
and click.
3. Protect for Sharing: Select ToolsProtect and Share
Workbook commands and click. This feature protects the
sharing and change history tracking in a shared workbook so
the features can’t be turned off. If you select this check box
and click OK when the workbook isn’t a shared workbook, you
are asked if you want to save it as a shared workbook. In a
workbook that is already shared, you can turn on protection
for sharing and the change history, but you can’t assign a
password for this protection. To assign a password, you must
first remove the workbook from shared use. When the active
shared workbook is protected, the command name changes
to Unprotect for Sharing. If you want to unprotect a share
workbook that has been already protected. Selec t
ToolsUnprotect Workbook commands and click.
