 Column
 Rows
 Relative references
 Absolute references
Define Spreadsheet:

 A spreadsheet is a computer program that can capture,


display and manipulate data arranged in rows and columns.
 Spreadsheets are one of the most popular tools available
with personal computers.
 A spreadsheet is generally designed to hold numerical data
and short text strings.
 Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet programme developed by
Microsoft.
Define Worksheet:

 A worksheet or sheet is a single page in a file created with


an electronic spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel
or Google Sheets.
 Worksheet is a collection of rows and columns. It allows
you to make different calculations using formulates and
built-in functions.
 We can also display our data by using charts and figures.
CONT:
Define Workbook:

 A workbook is a File containing one or more spreadsheets,


also known as worksheet.
 It is a collection of documents where data is saved in a
structured manner according to user’s requirements.
 It can be used for a variety of purposes such as financial
statements, budget planning, inventory management,
student record-keeping, and much more.
Define cell:

 The instruction of row and column is called cell.


 A cell holds data .
 Cell may contain text, numbers and graphical formulates
or patterns.
Define cell address:

 Cells are identified by the combinations of rows and columns.


 Its aim is to provide address of a particular cell.
 The fifth cell in second column known as cell B5. This is known as
cell’s address or cell coordinates.
 Cell address is also known as cell reference.
 There are two types of cell references:
1. Relative reference
2. Absolute reference
Define Relative references:
 Relative cell references are basic cell references that adjust and
change when copied or when using AutoFill.
 Example: =SUM(B5:B8), as shown below, changes to
=SUM(C5:C8) when copied across to the next cell.
Define Absolute references:

 This situations arise in which the cell reference must remain the
same when copied or when using AutoFill. Dollar signs are used to
hold a column and/or row reference constant.
 Example:
 In the example below, when calculating commissions for sales staff,
you would not want cell B10 to change when copying the formula
down. You want both the column and the row to remain the same to
refer to that exact cell. By using $B$10 in the formula, neither
changes when copied.
Cont:
Define Active Cell:

 The active cell is the selected cell in which data is entered


when you begin typing.
 The active cell is the cell surrounded by a black border.
 Data can only be entered into the active cell.
 Even if more than one cell is selected, there is still only
one active cell at a time
Define Column:

 A column is a vertical group of values within a table.


 It contains values from a single field in multiple rows.
Define Row:

 Each row is denoted and identified by a unique numeric


value that you'll see on the left hand side.
 The row numbers are arranged vertically on the
worksheet, ranging from 1-1,048,576 (you can have a total
of 1,048,576 rows in Excel).
 The rows themselves run horizontally on a worksheet.
