Excel

Excel Overview:
Excel's structure is made of two pieces, the Ribbon and the Sheet.
Ribbon
The Ribbon provides shortcuts to Excel commands. A command is an
action that allows you to make something happen. This can for example
be to: insert a table, change the font size, or to change the color of a cell.
The Ribbon is made up by the App launcher, Tabs, Groups and
Commands. In this section we will explain the different parts of the
Ribbon.
App Launcher
The App launcher icon has nine dots and is called the Office 365
navigation bar. It allows you to access the different parts of the Office
365 suite, such as Word, PowerPoint and Outlook. App launcher can be
used to switch seamlessly between the Office 365 applications.
Tabs
The tab is a menu with sub divisions sorted into groups. The tabs allow
users to quickly navigate between options of menus which display
different groups of functionality.
Groups
The groups are sets of related commands. The groups are separated by
the thin vertical line break.
Commands
The commands are the buttons that you use to do actions.
Sheet
The Sheet is a set of rows and columns. It forms the same pattern as we
have in math exercise books, the rectangle boxes formed by the pattern
are called cells.
Each cell has its unique reference, which is its coordinates, this is where
the columns and rows intersect.
Multiple Sheets
You start with one Sheet by default when you create a new workbook.
You can have many sheets in a workbook. New sheets can be added and
removed. Sheets can be named to making it easier to work with data
sets.
Tip: You can use the hotkey Shift + F11 to create new sheets. Try it!

Excel Syntax
A formula in Excel is used to do mathematical calculations. Formulas
always start with the equal sign = typed in the cell, followed by your
calculation.
Creating formulas, step by step
• Select a cell
• Type the equal sign (=)
• Select a cell or type value
• Enter an arithmetic operator
• Select another cell or type value
• Press enter
Using Formulas with Cells
You can type values to cells and use them in your formulas.
Lets type some dummy values to get started. Double click the cells to
type values into them. Go ahead and type:
• A1(309)
• A2(320)
• B1(39)
• B2(35)
 Excel Ranges
Range is an important part of Excel because it allows you to work with
selections of cells.
There are four different operations for selection;
• Selecting a cell
• Selecting multiple cells
• Selecting a column
• Selecting a row
The Name Box
The Name Box shows you the reference of which cell or range you have
selected. It can also be used to select cells or ranges by typing their
values.
Selecting a Cell
Cells are selected by clicking them with the left mouse button or by
navigating to them with the keyboard arrows.
It is easiest to use the mouse to select cells.
Selecting Multiple Cells
More than one cell can be selected by pressing and holding down CTRL or
Command and left clicking the cells.
Selecting a Column
Columns are selected by left clicking it. This will select all cells in the
sheet related to the column.
Selecting a Row
Rows are selected by left clicking it. This will select all the cells in the
sheet related to that row.

Excel Fill
Filling
Filling makes your life easier and is used to fill ranges with values, so that
you do not have to type manual entries. Filling can be used for:
• Copying
• Sequences
• Dates
• Functions (*)
Excel Move Cells
Moving Cells
There are two ways to move cells: Drag and drop or by copy and paste.
Cut and Paste
Ranges can be moved by cutting and pasting values from one place to
another.
Copy and paste
Copy and paste works in the same way as cut and paste. The difference is
that it does not remove the original cells.
Delete Data
Select the original cells and remove them by pressing the "Delete" button
on the keyboard.

Excel Add Cells

Adding New Columns
Columns can be added and deleted. You access the menu by right clicking
the column letter. New columns are added to the same place you clicked.

Excel Delete Cells

Delete Cells
Cells can be deleted by selecting them, and pressing the delete button.

Excel Undo and Redo

The Undo function lets you reverse an action.

Undo is helpful if you regret an action and want to go back to how it was
before.
Examples of use

• Undo deleting a formula

• Undo adding a column
• Undo removing a row

There are two ways to access the Undo Command.

1. Pressing the Undo button in Ribbon

2. Using the keyboard shortcut CTRL + Z / Command + Z

Redo

The redo function has the opposite effect as Undo, it reverses the Undo
action.

Redo is helpful if you regret using Undo.

There are two ways to access the Redo Command.

1. Pressing the Redo button in Ribbon.

2. Using the keyboard shortcut CTRL + Y / Command + Z
 Excel Formulas

A formula in Excel is used to do mathematical calculations. Formulas

always start with the equal sign (=) typed in the cell, followed by your
calculation.

Formulas can be used for calculations such as:

• =1+1
• =2*2
• =4/2=2

Excel Relative References

References are relative by default, and are without dollar sign ($).

The relative reference makes the cells reference free. It gives the fill
function freedom to continue the order without restrictions.

Absolute References

Absolute reference is when a reference has the dollar sign ($).

It locks the reference in the formula.

Add $ to the formula to use the absolute references.

The dollar sign has three different states:

• Absolute for column and row. The reference is absolutely locked.

E.g., =$A$1
• Absolute for the column. The reference is locked to that column.
The row remains relative. E.g., =$A1
• Absolute for the row. The reference is locked to that row. The
column remains relative. E.g., =A$1
 Excel Arithmetic Operator

 Excel Parentheses

Parentheses () is used to change the order of an operation.

Using parentheses makes Excel do the calculation for the numbers inside
the parentheses first, before calculating the reset of the formula.

Parentheses are added by typing () on both sides of numbers, like (2+2).

Examples:

No parentheses-

=10+5*2

The result is 20 because it calculates (10+10)

With parentheses-

=(10+5)*2

The result is 30 because it calculates (15)*2

Formulas can have groups of parentheses

=(10+5)+(2*4)+(4/2)

Excel VLOOKUP Function

The VLOOKUP function is a premade function in Excel, which allows searches across
columns.

It is typed =VLOOKUP and has the following parts:

=VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup])

Lookup_value: Select the cell where search values will be entered.

Table_array: The table range, including all cells in the table.

Col_index_num: The data which is being looked up. The input is the number of the
column, counted from the left:
How to use the VLOOKUP function.

1. Select a cell (H4)

2. Type =VLOOKUP
3. Double click the VLOOKUP command
4. Select the cell where search value will be entered (H3)
5. Type (,)
6. Mark table range (A2:E21)
7. Type (,)
8. Type the number of the column, counted from the left (2)
9. Type True (1) or False (0) (1)
10. Hit enter
11. Enter a value in the cell selected for the Lookup_value H3(7)

Excel XOR Function

The XOR function is a premade function in Excel, which returns TRUE or FALSE based
on two or more conditions.

=XOR([logical1], [logical2], ...)

The conditions are referred to as [logical1], [logical2], and so on.

The conditions can check things like:

• If a number is greater than another number >

• If a number is smaller than another number <
• If a number or text is equal to something =

For two conditions, you can think of the XOR function as: "either this or that,
but not both"

Example:

Check if the Pokemon type is either Fire type OR has HP less than 60, but not
both:

The function returns "TRUE" or "FALSE".

Example XOR function, step by step:

1. Select the cell D2

2. Type =XOR
3. Double click the XOR command
4. Specify the first condition B2="Fire"
5. Type ,
6. Specify the second condition C2<60
7. Hit enter
