INSERTING CELLS :
WHEN YOU CREATE A WORKSHEET THE NEED TO MOVE THE CELLS
OCCURRED FREQUENTLY. THAT IS INSERTING CELLS, DELETING CELLS.

The following are the various steps to insert column in the
worksheet:
1. Select the range of cells in your worksheet.
2. Right click the mouse a shortcut menu appears OR you can also
select cells option from INSERT menu.

WORKING WITH FORMULAS AND
FUNCTIONS
Entering a Formula:
A formula is an expression that returns a value.
A formula is written using operators that combine different values,
returning a single value that is then displayed in the cell.
The most commonly used operators are arithmetic operators.
The order of precedence is a set of predefined rules used to
determine the sequence in which operators are applied in a
calculation.
ENTERING A FORMULA:
ENTERING A FORMULA:
Click the cell in which you want the formula results to
appear.
Type = and an expression that calculates a value using
cell references and arithmetic operators.
Press the Enter key or press the Tab key to complete the
formula.
ENTERING A FORMULA:
COPYING AND PASTING FORMULAS
With formulas, however, Excel adjusts the formula’s cell references to
reflect the new location of the formula in the worksheet
INTRODUCING FUNCTIONS:
A function is a named operation that returns a value
For example, to add the values in the range A1:A10, you
could enter the following long formula:
=A1+A2+A3+A4+A5+A6+A7+A8+A9+A10
Or, you could use the SUM function to accomplish
the same thing:
=SUM(A1:A10)
ENTERING A FUNCTION:
ENTERING FUNCTIONS WITH AUTOSUM:
The AutoSum button quickly inserts Excel functions that summarize
all the values in a column or row using a single statistic
Sum of the values in the column or row
Average value in the column or row
Total count of numeric values in the column or row
Minimum value in the column or row
Maximum value in the column or row
ENTERING FUNCTIONS WITH AUTOSUM:
VIEWING AND PRINTING
WORKSHEET FORMULAS
You can view the formulas in a workbook by switching to formula
view, a view of the workbook contents that displays formulas instead
of the resulting values.
To change the worksheet to formula view, press the Ctrl+` keys.
Scaling a printout reduces the width and the height of the printout to
fit the number of pages you specify by shrinking the text size as
needed.

PROTECTING WORKSHEETS/WORKBOOKS
We need to protect the cells, worksheets,
workbooks from the access of unauthorized users
who may change or copy the data.
User can apply password to the worksheet in order
to protect it. A password may also be applied to
range of cells.
Applying password will make worksheet read only.
When you unprotect it, it will become read/write
file.
