Task 2 – 2.5 Hours
/Right click on number roll and insert to move roll
down
/Right click on letter roll and insert to move roll to the
right
/Use warp text to increase roll size that does not
require to be wider
/Average number use ‘M’ (On top right corner) to do it
automatically
/Sum numbers using ‘M’ (On top right corner) or ‘+’ to
do it automatically
/Subtract numbers using ‘-‘ to do it automatically
/=IF(Roll-Number<Number, “True”, “False”)
Example: =IF(A1<10, “Yes”, “No”)
/Use conditional formatting to change same text to a
certain colour, Use conditional formatting to colour in
cells if they require areas/cells needed outside the cell
Example: Conditional formatting, =IF A1<10
/Use F4 to copy the format for %, to create make sure
the value stays the same (Absolute Cell-always refer to
the same cell) Example: =A1/A2 ---> =A1/$A$2
/=vlookup (Roll-Number, Table Name, Number of Roll)
Example: =vlookup (A1, Table, 1)
*Remember to name Table*
/=hlookup (Roll-Number, Table Name, Number of
Column)
Example: =hlookup(A1, Table, 1)
*Remember to name Table*
/Hold ctrl to multi select
/Data Validation, select List in ‘Allow’ and enter
sources, enter error alert to tell you can only choose
the sources
/To times, use =Roll-Number*Roll-Number to multiply
the numbers
Example: =A1*A2
/To count the amount of the same word in an area, use
=COUNTIF(Roll-Number:Roll-Number, "Word") to
automatically count the amount of the same words
Example: =COUNTIF(A1:B2, “Skibidi”)
/To count the amount of different words in an area,
use =COUNTA(Roll-Number:Roll-Number) to count the
amount of words in the area
Example: =COUNTA(A1:B2)
/Use Sort to sort column by letters from ‘a to z’ or
‘z to a’
/Use Filter to filter words from the column
/Pivot Table – Gather data on a table and creates
another sheet to store it, and make a graph for the
main sheet
/Double click between cells(ABC) will make all the data
be visible
/Use Macros to do certain task with just a button
/To freeze a row, go down a roll, select it and go to
view and then freeze panes
/To sum numbers in a condition, use =sumif to find the
sum in the condition
Example: =sumif(A1:A10, “>=100”, A1:A10)
/If unable to use any equations above to be used
effectively, get equations from Excel, most are not
taught but useful enough.
/SAVE EVERYTIME AFTER COMPLETED 1 STEP/GRAPH
