Spreadsheet
Spreadsheet is the PC application that is used most frequently by managers and executives. It is the computerized equivalent of an accountant's ledger. Enables us to organize data in a readily understandable format.

Exploring Office 2003 - Grauer and Barber

Introduction to Spreadsheets
Workbook contains one or more worksheets Spreadsheet a computerized ledger Rows and Columns Columns identified with alphabetic headings Rows identified with numeric headings Intersection of row and column forms a cell.

Definitions
General format it is the default format for numeric entries and displays a number according to the way it was originally entered. Number format displays a number with or without the 1000 separator and with any number of decimal places. Negative numbers can be displayed with parentheses and/ or can be shown in red. Scientific format which displays a number as a decimal fraction followed by a whole number exponent of 10; for example the number 12345 would appear as 1.2345E+04. The exponent, +04 in the example, is the number of places the decimal point is moved to the left. Very small numbers have negative exponents.

Worksheet Basics
13

14

Worksheets
Excels main screen is called a worksheet. Each worksheet is comprised of many boxes, called cells.

15

Organize Information
You can organize information by typing a single piece of data into each cell.

How to Enter Information

16

17

Selecting a Cell
Select a cell by clicking on it once (dont double click). You can move from cell to cell with the arrow keys or by pressing the Enter key.

18

Entering Information / The Formula Bar


To enter information in a cell, just start typing. When you are done either
Press the Enter Key Press an arrow key Click on the check button (only visible when entering data into a cell)

The information in the selected cell is also displayed in the formula bar above the worksheet.

19

Double Click to Modify a Cell


To modify the contents of a cell double click on the cell. Then use the right, left arrow keys and the Insert and Delete keys to modify the data. When you are done:
Press the Enter key or Click on the check box.

Double click to change hi there to hello there

Names of Rows, Columns and Cells

20

21

Column Names (letters) & Row Names


(numbers)

The columns of the worksheet are named with letters The rows are named with numbers

Selected Cell

22

Cell Names (ex. B4)


The name of a cell is a combination of the Letter Of The Column that the cell is in followed by the Number Of The Row that the cell is in. Example: the selected cell in the picture is named B4 (NOT 4B) Excel automatically shows the the name of the currently selected cell in the name box (located above the worksheet). The letter must come first (i.e. B4, NOT 4B) and there may NOT be any spaces between the letter and the number. We will learn later why it is important to understand how to name cells.

Name Box

Selected Cell

23

Information that is too wide for a cell


The word Name is in cell A5 The words Hours Worked are in cell B5 (NOT in cell C5). However, since the information is too wide for cell B5, it looks like it extends into cell C5. You can determine that the information is really only IN cell B5 by selecting cell B5 and looking at the formula bar and then selecting cell C5 and looking at the formula bar.

Hours Worked is in cell B5 (look at formula bar)

Hours Worked is NOT in cell C5 (formula bar is empty)

24

Information that is Chopped Off


If there is information in the cell to the right, then the original cell still contains all of the data, but the data appears to be chopped off. You can see the complete data by selecting the cell and looking in the formula bar.

Change the Width of a Column or the Height of a Row

25

26

Make a column wider Drag column


To make Column B wider, point the cursor to the column separator between columns B and column C. The cursor changes to a Double headed arrow. Now, click the left mouse button and without letting go of the button, drag the separator to the right to make the column wider (or to the left to make the
column narrower).

separator to the right

Column is now wider

27

Getting the Exact Width


To get the exact width, double click on the separator instead of dragging it.
Double click here

Column is now EXACTLY the correct width

28

Resizing a Row
Make a row taller or shorter by dragging the separator between the rows.
Row is now taller

Click and drag here to resize row 5.

Putting an Enter inside a cell


To add a new line inside a cell Double click inside the cell where you want the new line. Press Ctrl-Enter (i.e. hold down the Alt key and press Enter while still holding down Ctrl). When you are done editing, press Enter (without holding down Alt) to accept the changes.
Step 1: Originally Hours Worked is on one line.

29

Step 2: Double click to edit cell and then press Alt-Enter

Step 3: Press Enter (without Alt) to accept the changes.

Basic Formatting (e.g. bold, colors, fonts, etc)

30

Formatting Cells
Select one or more cells and then click on any of the formatting buttons (see below) to change the formatting of the selected cells. Formatting buttons: show fewer decimal points (ex.
10.507 is displayed as 10.51)

31

These change the way numbers are displayed in cells. (these dont affect words).

show more decimal points (ex. 10.507 is displayed as 10.5070) indent within cell put border around cell(s) color of cell color of text in cell

center font name font size left justify right justify

bold italics
click on downward pointing arrows for other font names and sizes

center & merge cells (will explain later)

remove indent
show with commas (e.g. 12345 becomes 12,345) click on downward pointing arrows for other colors and border styles

underline

show as percent (ex. 0.5 becomes 50%) show as currency (ex. 1000.507 becomes $1000.50)

32

Example unformatted worksheet


Unformatted worksheet see next slide for formatting.

33

Example making cells bold


Click on cell A1 and drag to cell A3. Then press the Bold button to make cells A1,A2,A3 bold. You could also press the font or background color buttons to change the color or apply any other formatting you like (this is not shown below).

Other Ways of Selecting More Than One Cell

34

To select a large range of cells, click on the upper left cell in the range. Then hold the shift key and click on the lower right cell in the range. You can select different non-contiguous areas of cells by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking and dragging.

35

Selecting Non-Contiguous Ranges


Click and drag to select the first range. Ctrl-click and drag to select additiona l ranges

(This cell is also selected even though it appears white).

Selecting entire Rows, entire Columns or all cells on the worksheet.

36

To select an entire column, click on the letter for the column header. To select several columns, click on the header for the first column and drag to the right. To select an entire row, click on the number for the row header. To select several rows, click on the header for the first row and drag down. To select all of the cells on the spreadsheet, click on the upper left hand corner of the spreadsheet (where the column headers meet the row headers)

Select Entire Columns/Rows/Worksheet


To select ENTIRE COLUMN B

38

Example - continued
Step 1: Click on row header for row 5 Step 2: Ctrl-click on row-header for row 11 Step 3: Press Bold button or type ctrl-b Note: After being bolded, the word Employee is now too wide for the column, so make the column wider if necessary (this step is not shown).

39

Format Cells
Using the formatting buttons only give you a limited amount of formatting ability. For more formatting ability, select one or more cells and right click on the selection. Then choose format cells from the popup menu. Choose options from the Number, Alignment, Font, Border and Patterns tabs and press OK to change the way your information looks on the screen. The Protection tab is used to lock cells so that their contents cant be modified. We will not go into the details of using the format cells dialog box at this time but you should be able to figure out most of it by yourself.

Formatting changes how things LOOK, not how they WORK.

40

When you change the format of a cell, Excel still remembers the original value. Excel will use the un-formatted value when calculating formula values. Example: if you change numbers to appear with fewer decimal points the original number with all of its decimal points are used in calculations.

Formulas

41

42

Excel Formulas
You must have an equals sign ( = ) as the first character in a cell that contains a formula. The = sign tells excel that the contents of the cell is a formula Without the = sign, the formula will not calculate anything. It will simply display the text of the formula.

43

Formulas - correct
formula with = sign After pressing ENTER

44

Missing = sign
Missing = sign! Before pressing enter After pressing ENTER (no change - not a function)

45

Types of operations
You can use any of the following operations in a formula: operation symbol example
addition: + subtraction: multiplication: * division: / exponentiation ^ negation (same symbol as subraction) =a1+3 =100-b3 =a1*b1 =d1/100 =a2^2 =-a2+3

Explicit (literal) values and cell references


You can use both explicit values and cell references in a formula An explicit value is also called a literal value
Formula with only cell references:
Formula with only literal values: =100/27

46

=a1*b1

Formula with both cell references and literal values:

=a1/100

Errors in Formulas

47

48

Common Errors
The following are some errors that may appear in a spreadsheet (there are others too).
#######
Cell is too narrow to display the results of the formula. To fix this simply make the column wider and the real value will be displayed instead of the ###### signs. Note that even when the ###### signs are being displayed, Excel still uses the real value to calculate formulas that reference this cell.

#NAME?
You used a cell reference in the formula that is not formed correctly (e.g. =BB+10 instead of =B3+10)

#VALUE!
Usually the result of trying to do math with a textual value. Example: =A1*3 where A1 contains the word hello

#DIV/0!
Trying to divide by zero. Example: =3/A1 where A1 contains 0 (zero)

Circular Reference
Using a formula that contains a reference to the cell that the formula lives in. Example: putting the formula =A1+1 in cell A1 or putting the formula =SUM(A1:B2) in any of the cells A1, B1, A2, B2

Order of Operations

49

50

Complex formulas
You can use several operations in one function You can group those operations with parentheses Examples
=3*2+1 =c1*(a1+b1) =(100*a2-10)+(200*b3-20)+30 =(3+2*(50/b3+3)/7)*(3+b7)

51

Order of operations
When using several operations in one formula, Excel follows the order of operations for math.
first: second: third: Do all parentheses - innermost first exponents (^) all multiplication (*) and division (/). these starting with the leftmost * or / and work to the right. all addition (+) and subtraction (-). Do these starting with the leftmost + or and work to the right.

fourth:

52

Order of operations
The value of 3+2*5

is
13 NOT 25!

53

Order of operations
3 + (100 - 20) / 10 - 6 * 2 / 4 + 9 3 + 80 / 10 - 6 * 2 / 4 + 9 3+ 8 - 6 * 2 / 4 + 9 3 + 8 - 12 / 4 + 9 3+8 - 3 + 9 11 - 3 + 9 8+9

54

Functions

55

What is a function?
A function is a "named operation" Functions have
a name parentheses parameters/arguments inside the parentheses
The words parameter and argument mean the same thing you can have many parameters for one function separated with commas (,) The number of parameters is one more than the number of commas.

56

The SUM function


Examples Function
=SUM(1,2,3,4,5) =SUM(a1,b1,c1) 15 a1+b1+c1

Result

=SUM(9,a1,b2,5,c1)

9+a1+b2+5+c1

57

Terminology
SUM(1,2,3,4,5)
The name of the function is "SUM" The parameters or arguments to this function are 1,2,3,4 and 5

The entire thing, i.e. SUM(1,2,3,4,5), is a function call The value of this function call is 15. Another way to say this is that this function call returns 15.

Ranges (e.g. a1:c3)

58

Ranges
A rectangular box of cells is called a range. The name of a range is
the name of the upper left cell of the range Followed by a colon : Followed by the lower right cell of the range

59

Example: A1:B2 is shorthand for A1,A2,B1,B2


See next slide for more examples

A1:B2

Examples of Range Names


Examples
C3:E10

60

B2:B5

B3:E3

61

Using a range as a parameter


Ranges can be specified as a parameters to a function call. Both of the following function calls produce the same result as =a1+b1+c1+a2+b2+c2+a3+b3+c3+a4+b4+c4 however the 2nd version uses a range and is much shorter. without a range =SUM(a1,b1,c1,a2,b2,c2,a3,b3,c3,a4,b4,c4) with a range =SUM(a1:c4)

Function calls with multiple parameters


You can include multiple ranges and cells as parameters

62

Example: the following function call has 3 parameters. There are two ranges (a1:b2 and c4:c7), one number (100) and one cell reference (d3) =SUM(a1:b2,100,c4:c7,d3) Is the same as:

=SUM(a1,a2,b1,b2,100,c4,c5,c6,c7,d3)

Other Functions

63

64

Other functions
Click the function button to see the available functions:
Function buton brings up the function dialog box (see next slide)

65

Example
AVERAGE
formula that contains a function
=AVERAGE(2,4,10,4) =AVERAGE(a1,f32) =AVERAGE(a1:c1) =AVERAGE(a1:c1,10) 5 (a1+f32) / 2 (a1+b1+c1) / 3 (a1+b1+c1+10) / 4

value

66

Combining Functions and other values in a single formula

67

Functions and other values


You can combine functions, cell references and literal values to make a complex Excel formula Examples
=3 + b23 * SUM(d20:g20) =SUM(a1,100) * AVERAGE(d10:j10) =100 / ( AVERAGE(b2,c2,d30) + AVERAGE(f1:f20) )

68

Other Types of Cell References


References to entire ROWs References to entire COLUMNs References to cells or ranges on other worksheets (i.e. tabs)

69

Entire Rows (e.g. 2:2 or 2:4)


A cell reference of the form <rowName>:<rowName> refers to the range of all the cells for those rows. Example:
The reference, 2:2, refers to all of the cells on the 2nd row. The following formula adds up all of the values on the 2nd and 4th rows of the spreadsheet: =sum(2:2,4:4)

Another Example:
The reference, 2:4, refers to all of the cells on the 2nd , 3rd and 4th rows,. The following formula adds up all of the values on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th , 10th, 11th , 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th rows of the spreadsheet:

=sum(2:4,10:15)

70

Entire Columns (e.g. B:B or B:D)


A cell reference of the form <colName>:<colName> refers to the range of all the cells for those columns. Example:
The reference, B:B, refers to all of the cells in the 2nd column. The following formula adds up all of the values in the 2nd and 4th columns of the spreadsheet: =sum(B:B,D:D)

Another Example:
The reference, B:D, refers to all of the cells in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th columns. The following formula adds up all of the values in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th columns of the spreadsheet:

=sum(B:D,F:G)

References to cells on other worksheets


Cell on another sheet: sheetName!cellReference Range on another sheet: sheetName!range Row on another sheet: sheetName!row:row Column on another sheet: sheetName!column:column

71

If a sheet name has a space in it, you must surround the sheet name with apostrophes (i.e. single quotes)

Examples
sheet2!a1 sheet2!b4:c8 '2002 Forecasts'!f3:f10 =sum('2002 Forecasts'!f3:f10) =sum('2202 Forecasts'!f:f)

72

More examples
Add up values from 2 different sheets =sum ( 'great stocks'!b2:c4, 'so so stocks'!b2:c4) This next one is a little confusing =sum (a1,a!a1,b1:b4,b1!b4,c!c:c)
Explanation
a1 a!a1 b1:b4 b1!b4 sheet c!c:c column this is a cell reference on the current sheet "a" is the name of sheet. "a1" is a cell on the "a" sheet this is a range on the current sheet "b1" is the name of a sheet. "b4" is a cell on the "b1" c" is the name of a sheet. c:c" is all of the cells in the c on the c sheet

73

Absolute and Relative Cell References

Absolute and Relative Cell References


By default, when you copy a formula that contains a cell reference, excel will automatically adjust the cell reference.

74

You can stop Excel from automatically adjusting the cell reference by using one or more dollar signs ($) in the cell reference. These are called absolute cell references.
A cell reference without a dollar sign is a relative cell reference.

75

Examples
The following all refer to the same cell
d9 $d$9 $d9 d$9

The only difference between these cell references relates to what happens when you copy a formula that contains the cell reference.

76

Relative Cell Reference


d9 This is a "relative cell reference". Changing the column: If I copy this cell reference to another cell: the "d" will increment one letter for every cell that I move over to the right. The "d" will decrement one letter for every cell that I move over to the left Changing the row: If I copy this cell reference to another cell: the "9" will increment by one for every cell that I move down. The "9" will decrement by one for every cell that I move up

77

Absolute cell reference


$d$9 This is an absolute cell reference.
If I copy a formula with this cell reference, the cell reference will NOT change AT ALL.

78

Mixed References
$d9
and

d$9

These are "Mixed" cell

references:

$d9
The "d" will stay the same when you copy the cell, but the "9" will change.

d$9
The "d" will change when you copy the cell, but the "9" will stay the same.

79

Data Types

80

Data Types
Numeric values: operators: sample functions:

any number + * / sum( ), average( ), max( ), min( ) etc.

Text (AKA Character or String) values: Any group of letters or numbers or special characters. Prefix value in cell with an apostrophe ( ' ) to force a text value operators: & (concatenation) sample functions: right( ), left(), mid(), lower(), upper(), len(), etc Dates values: operators: sample functions: Logical (AKA boolean) values: Operators: sample functions:

dates and times N/A now( ), today( ), hour(), minute(), etc.

true false < > = <> if( ), and( ), or( ), not( ), isblank()

<=

>=

81

Data Types for Values in Cells


By default:
a cell that contains a number is treated as numeric data a cell that contains a date is treated as date data (we'll see more about this later) a cell that contains data which is not numeric and not a date is treated as "text"

Text Data

82

83

Text / String / Character


The following three terms all used to refer to "text" data. All three terms mean the same thing.
text data string data character data

This presentation will generally use the term "text data" but you should be familiar with the terms "string data" and "character data"

84

Text data
Text data is used to store general purpose text (e.g. names, places, descriptions, etc) You can't do "math" with text values (obviously)

Text isn't part of numerical calculations (obviously)

Many functions are used to manipulate text values. The following are only some of them
right( ) left( ) mid( ) concatenate( ) lower( ) upper( ) len( )

RIGHT, LEFT and MID functions

88

89

RIGHT function
The RIGHT function is used to isolate a specific number of characters from the right hand side of a text value. (example on next slide)

90

RIGHT ( <text>, <numCharacters>)


Formula View

Values View

91

RIGHT numCharacters is optional


The <numCharacters> parameter in the RIGHT function is optional. If you dont specify it the default is 1 (one).
Formula View

Values View

These produce the same results.

92

LEFT
The LEFT function is the same as the RIGHT function, but it returns characters from the LEFT side of the value.

MID ( <text>, <startPosition> , <numCharacters>)


MID is used to get values from the middle of some text. MID takes 3 parameters:

93

The original text The position to start taking the new value from The number of characters to take for the new value

Example on next slide

Example: MID ( <text>, <startPosition> , <numCharacters>) This example extracts the second through the fourth characters from the original text value:

Concatenation ( & ) and CONCATENATE function

95

96

Concatenation (&)
Use & to combine (or concatenate) two different text values

Formula View

Values View
Notice that there is no space between the two values

97

Concatenate many values


You may concatenate many values together
Formula View

Values View

98

Concatenation with "literal" values


You can also concatenate "literal" values. You must include the literal values inside quotes For example to display spaces in the "full name" in the previous example you could use the following formula. Each space that you want to display must be included in quotes. =A2&" "&B2&" "&C2 (Don't forget any of the &'s )

99

Concatenating spaces - Example


You can concatenate spaces into a formula

CONCATENATE Function
You can use the CONCATENATE function instead of the ampersand (&). The following formulas are equivalent:

=A1&B1&C1
=CONCATENATE(A1,B1,C1) The CONCATENATE function can take as many parameters as you like.

More Text Functions: PROPER LOWER UPPER LEN

How Excel Stores Dates


Dates are stored in Excel as the number of days since Dec 31, 1899 for that date. (ex. Jan 1, 1900 is stored as the number 1). To see this, type a date in a cell and then press Ctrl-` to see the formulas view. Example
Values View
Dates become numbers in formulas view

Formulas View

111

Times and Dates in the same Cell


A cell can contain both a date and a time.

The value of both the date and the time is stored internally as a single decimal number.
The whole number portion represents the DATE and is the number of days since Dec. 31, 1899

The decimal part represents the TIME and is the fraction of the day that has elapsed.
Examples:
Jan 1, 1900 at 12AM is 1.0 (i.e. 1 day since Dec 31, 1899 and 0 percent of the day elapsed so far) Jan 1, 1900 at 12PM is 1.5 (i.e. 0.5 of the day elapsed) Jan 2, 1900 at 12PM is 2.5 (i.e. 2 days since Dec. 31, 1899) Feb 1, 1900 at 1:05 PM is 32.5451388888889 (i.e. 32 days since Dec 31, 1899 and 0.5451388888889 of the day elapsed by 1:05 PM. This makes sense as it is a little past noon so a little more than half of the day elapsed.

Date Arithmetic
You can do arithmetic with dates. Add and subtract days by adding and subtracting whole numbers. Add and subtract times by adding and subtracting fractional values.

Examples
=A1+7 =A1-5*7 =A1- (1/24) =A1+ (3/24) =A1+2.5 =A1-A2+1

(one week after the date in A1) (5 weeks before the date in A1) (one hour before the time specified in A1) (three hours after the time specified in A1) (two and a half days after the time specified in A1) (the # of days between the date in A1 and the date in A2)

FORMATTING A CELL AS TEXT

138

139

Numbers with leading zeros


Sometimes you desire to have to have zeroes displayed at the beginning of a number. For example, US social security numbers are made up of 9 digits. The first few digits may be zeroes. This causes in a problem in Excel. When you type in a number with leading zeroes into a cell, Excel removes the leading zeroes when you press Enter. EXAMPLE: If you type the following into a cell (before you press Enter)

When you press Enter you get this:


Leading zeroes are missing

See next slides for how to fix this

140

Formatting a cell to display as text


To fix this problem you can format the cell to display as text instead of as a number. The value will still be able to be used in calculations but it will be displayed on the screen using the rules for text values instead of the rules to display numbers One of the rules Excel uses to displaying numbers is to remove leading zeroes. However, if a number displayed as "text" data then Excel WILL display leading zeros. See next slide for instructions on how to do this

Opening the "Format cells" dialog box

141

Select the cell or cells that you want to format as text. Right click on the selected cell(s) and choose the following from the popup menu format cells or click on a cell and choose the following menu choice format | cells Then you will see the "Format Cells" dialog box. (See the next slide ...)

"Format Cells" dialog box


Choose "Text" from the "Numbe r" tab and press the OK button.

142

143

Not a Perfect Solution


When you format the cell as text it will display the leading zeroes (you must type them in again). However, Excel will warn you that a number is formatted as text.

Result of Formatting a Number as Text


Excel indicates this issue with a green triangle in the upper left hand corner of the cell: If you select the cell you can see the error message. You can have Excel to ignore this type of error by choosing the Tools | Options menu choice and unchecking the Number stored as text option from the Error Checking tab. (this solution is not shown on this slide)

144

Create validation rules for data entry


You will want to prevent errors in your workbooks as much as possible.
You can specify the type of data that is allowed and/or a range of acceptable values If a value is entered that does not meet the requirements, an error message is displayed Setting a rule like this is a preventative measure that allows you to validate data upon entry

There are several different options in the Data Validation dialog box allowing you to provide various rules related to data entry. You can also provide an input message that will aid the user in entering the data.

The Data Validation dialog box


Menu Bar: Data \ Data Validation

The Allow list box options

The Input Message tab of the Data Validation dialog box

A worksheet with an input message displayed

The Error Alert tab of the Data Validation dialog box

Functions within functions


You can use functions within functions. Consider the expression =ROUND(AVERAGE(A1:A100),1).
This expression would first compute the average of all the values from cell A1 through A100 and then round that result to 1 digit to the right of the decimal point

Circular reference
Situation when some parameter in the formula refers to the formula itself For example, in cell C5 the following formula is entered: VLOOKUP(C5, F2:G15, 2, TRUE) The address C5 refers to the formula itself. In this case it is a wrong way of writing the formula. In some cases circular references may be used for creating recursive (recurrent) functions.

Tables, Graphs and Excel


Solving Problems Using Graphical Analysis

Tables
Tables should always have:
Title Column headings with brief descriptive name, symbol and appropriate units.

Numerical data in the table should be written to the proper number of significant digits.
The decimal points in a column should be aligned.

Tables should always be referenced and discussed (at least briefly) in the body of the text of the document containing the table.

Graphs
Proper graphing of data involves several steps:
Select appropriate graph type Select scale and gradation of axes, and completely label axes Plot data points, then plot or fit curves Add titles, notes, and or legend

Graphs - Types

Graphs should always be referenced/discussed in the body of the text of the document containing the table.

Titles and Legends


Each graph must be identified with a descriptive title The title should include clear and concise statement of the information being presented A legend defining point symbols or line types used for curves needs to be included

Axis Labels
Each axis must be labeled The axis label should contain the name of the variable and its units. The units can be enclosed in parentheses, or separated from the label by a comma.

Length (km)

Gradation
Scale gradations should be selected so that the smallest division of the axis is an integer power of 10 times 1, 2, or 5. Exception is units of time.

Result

Goal Seek
Goal Seek is an analytical function that allows a value in a formula to be adjusted to reach a desired result or answer. Goal Seek can eliminate unnecessary calculations that can be used to determine a single variable value in a formula. For example, a salesperson might participate in a bonus program that pays 3 percent of all sales dollars. The salesperson wants to receive a bonus of at least $2,500 and needs to know the target sales dollar amount needed.

Create a worksheet with the following information When the Goal Seek command starts to run, it repeatedly tries new values in the variable cell to find a solution to the problem.

This process is called iteration, and it continues until Excel has run the problem 100 times or has found an answer within .001 of the target value specified. The iteration settings can be adjusted by choosing Tools, Options, and adjusting the Iteration options in the Calculations tab. It calculates so fast, the Goal Seek command can save significant time and effort over the brute force method of trying one number after another in a formula.

Goal Seek

USING THE GOAL SEEK COMMAND


The Goal Seek feature is used to fill in the target value of the cell containing the Sales Dollar amount.
The Goal Seek values read Set cell = B3, To value = 2500, By changing cell = $B$1.

To use the Goal Seek command:


1. Select Tools from the main menu, then select Goal Seek. 2. Specify the cell that contains the desired value in the Set cell text box. Type in or select B3. 3. Enter the desired value or answer in the To value text box. Type in 2500. 4. Enter the cell whose value will be changed in the By changing cell text box. Type in or select $B$1. 5. The Goal Seek dialog box should look like Figure next slide 6. Choose OK.
a. If a solution is found, the Goal Seek Status dialog box appears. b. The results are shown in Figure T4.6.

7. Select OK.

Goal Seek is used to adjust a single variable in a formula. Use the Solver feature to adjust multiple variables in a formula, as described in the next section.

Solver

Solver
Solver is part of a suite of functions sometimes called what-if analysis tools used for optimizing problems that contain more than one variable. The Solver add-in utility is needed to analyze the scenarios in decision-making situations that involve consideration of values and constraints for several variables simultaneously.

This powerful function uses multiple changing variables and constraints to find the optimal solution to solve a problem.
For example, consider a coffee shop that currently sells three beverages: (1) regular fresh-brewed coffee, (2) premium caffe latte, and (3) premium caffe mocha. The current price for regular coffee is set at $1.25, caffe latte at $2.00, and caffe mocha at $2.25, but the revenue potential is uncertain. What special emphasis (or marketing) should be given to each of the beverages to maximize revenue? Although the premium coffees bring in more money, their ingredients are more expensive and they take more time to make than regular coffee. Making some basic calculations by hand is easy, but there needs to be some structure to the sales data in a worksheet so that periodic changes can be made and analyzed.

Coffee Sales Data Sheet for Solver T4.7

Solver
The first step in using the Solver command is to build a Solver-friendly worksheet. This involves creating a target cell to be the goal of your problem
For example, a formula that calculates total revenueand assigning one or more variable cells that the Solver can change to reach the goal.

To use Solver, complete the following:


1. Set up a worksheet similar to Figure T4.7. 2. The three variable cells in the worksheet are cells D5, D9, and D13. These are the cells whose values the Solver needs to determine to maximize the weekly revenue. 3. In the bottom-right corner of the table is a list of constraints to use for forecasting. 4. The worksheet must contain cells (G6 through G8) that include the formulas used as constraints. The limiting values for the constraints are listed in cells G11 through G13.
No more than 500 total cups of coffee (both regular and premium). No more than 350 cups of premium coffee (both caffe latte and caffe mocha). No more than 125 caffe mochas.

Solver
5. The subtotals for cells D6, D10, D14 need to be calculated, as well as the Total Revenue (sum of D6, D10, and D14) in G4. 6. The value for cell G6 should equal the value that will be calculated for D5 and the value for cell G7 will be the sum of the values from D9 and D13. The calculation of G8 = SUM of D5, D9, and D13. 7. Click the target cell G4the one containing the formula that is based on the 8. variable cells you want the Solver to determine. 9. Select Tools from the main menu, then select Solver. The Solver Parameters dialog box opens, as shown in Figure T4.8.
a. b. Select the Set Target Cell text box (unless it already contains the correct reference), and then click cell G4 to insert $G$4 as the target cell. The Equal To option button (Max) is already selected. Do not change this since the problem requests the maximum value for the target cell.

10. Select the By Changing Cells text box. Click the button in the text box to collapse the dialog box. Select each of the variable cells by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking D5, D9, and D13. This places commas between the three cell entries in the text box: $D$5, $D$9, $D$13 (refer to Figure T4.9).

Solver
11.Click Solve to calculate the result. 12.Solver displays a dialog box describing the results of the analysis. If the Solver runs into a problem, an error message will be displayed. If the Solver finds a solution, a Solver Results dialog box like Figure T4.11 will appear. 13.To display the new solution in the worksheet, click the Keep Solver Solution option button, and then click OK. The Solver places an optimum value in the target cell and fills the variable cells with the solutions that satisfy the constraints specified and provide the optimal result, as shown in Figure T4.12.

Pivot Tables

PIVOT TABLES
A powerful built-in data-analysis feature in Excel is the PivotTable A PivotTable analyzes, summarizes, and manipulates data in large lists, databases, worksheets, or other collections It is called a PivotTable because fields can be moved within the table to create different types of summary lists, providing a pivot

What is an Excel Pivot Table?


An interactive worksheet table Provides a powerful tool for summarizing large amounts of tabular data Similar to a cross-tabulation table A pivot table classifies numeric data in a list based on other fields in the list General purpose: Quickly summarize data from a worksheet or from an external source Calculate totals, averages, counts, etc. based on any numeric fields in your table Generate charts from your pivot tables

Pivot Table Advantages


Interactive: easily rearrange them by moving, adding, or deleting fields Dynamic: results are automatically recalculated whenever fields are added or dropped, or whenever categories are hidden or displayed Easy to update: refreshable if the original worksheet data changes

Appropriate Data
Data arranged in a list: Columns represent fields Rows represent a record of related data First row = column label Columns contain one sort of data For example, text in one column and numeric values in a separate column Remove subtotals You CAN work with subtotals, but use caution De-normalized database extracts are great for pivoting!

Financial Functions

Financial Function descriptions


This chart shows some commonly used financial functions and a description of what they do.

Excel's financial functions


Financial functions are very useful to calculate information about loans. Common functions are FV, IPMT, PMT, PPMT and PV. All these financial functions will use similar arguments that differ based upon which function you are using.
Think of the arguments as members of an equation The arguments represent the values of the equation that are known and the function provides the solution for a single variable, or unknown, value

The FV function calculates the future value of an investment based on periodic, constant payments and a constant interest rate per period. The IPMT function provides the interest payment portion of the overall periodic loan payment. The PMT function calculates the entire periodic payment of the loan.

Use the financial functions

The PPMT function calculates just the principal payment portion of the overall periodic payment. The PV function calculates the present value of an investment.

Use the financial functions (contd)


NPER Determines the number of payments needed for an Investment to grow or pay back a loan RATE Determines the effective interest rate

Standard arguments
rate: Interest rate (in decimal) per period nper: Number of periods pmt: Regular payment

More standard arguments


pv: Present value: The amount the series of future payments is worth now. The beginning value.
Future value: The amount the series of future payments will be worth in the future. The final value.

fv:

type 0 = payment at end of period (default) 1 = payment at beginning

PMT( ) Payments
Returns the periodic payment for an annuity or loan PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type) The first 3 (red) arguments are required

PMT( ) Example
Ms Just Retired has $200,000 to invest at 10% annual interest. Her goal is to have $100,000 left after 5 years. If she makes equal withdrawals each year for 5 years, how much can she withdraw each year? PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type) = PMT(0.10, 5, -200000, +100000) = $36,380

PMT( ) Example

PV( ) Present Value


Returns the present value of an investment. The present value is the total amount that a series of future payments is worth now. That is, it is the beginning value of the investment or loan. PV(rate, nper, pmt, fv, type)

PV( ) Example
A person promises to pay you $200 per month for 3 years. If you assume 12% interest compounded monthly, what is this annuity worth today?

How much can you borrow at 12% annual interest compounded monthly and repay in 3 years paying $200 per month?
= -PV(0.12/12, 3*12, 200) = 6021.50

PV( ) Example

FV( ) Future Value


Returns the future (final) value of an investment. The future value is the total amount including interest that series of payments will be worth. How much money will there be in your account if you make regular payments for a period of time? FV(rate, nper, pmt, pv, type)

FV( ) Examples
You will make $200 a month payments into a 12% annual interest payable monthly account. How much will you have after 3 years? = -FV(0.12/12, 3*12, 200) = 8615.38 You will put $1000 in your account that pays 5% annually compounded monthly. You will add $100 to the account every month. How much will you have after 10 years? = -FV(0.05/12, 10*12, 100, 1000) = 17175.24

Correlations

Correlations
A quick review: Every correlation has a direction (positive or negative): + correlation: high scores on one variable are associated with high scores on another variable. - correlation: high scores on one variable are associated with low scores on the other variable. Every correlation has magnitude or strength: The closer the correlation coefficient is to +1.00 or -1.00, the stronger it is. The closer the correlation coefficient is to 0.00, the weaker it is.

Correlation Practice

Put the following r values in order from weakest to strongest:

-.96 +.05 +.68 -.14 +.70 -.33

What did you get?


+.05 -.14 -.33 +.68 +.70 -.96
* Remember to use absolute values (ignore + or signs) when comparing the strengths of one or more correlation coefficients. Negative correlation does not mean less than positive correlation.
