- 2. MICROSOFT EXCEL 02 provides an automated way of displaying any statistical data. It can be used to automatically compute for several factors that are not easy to notice especially when faced by a large data.
- 3. Microsoft excel window components 03 Active Cell A cell that is currently selected. It will be highlighted by a rectangular box and its address will be shown in the address bar. You can activate a cell by clicking on it or by using your arrow buttons. To edit a cell, you double-click on it or use F2 as well. Column A column is a vertical set of cells. A single worksheet contains 16,384 total columns. Every column has its own alphabet for identity, from A to XFD. You can select a column by clicking on its header. Row A row is a horizontal set of cells. A single worksheet contains 1,048,576 total rows. Every row has its own number for identity, starting from 1 to 1048576. You can select a row by clicking on the row number marked on the left side of the window.
- 4. Address Bar - It shows the address of the active cell. If you have selected more than one cell, then it will show the address of the first cell in the range. Formula Bar - The formula bar is an input bar, below the ribbon. It shows the content of the active cell, and you can also use it to enter a formula in a cell. Worksheet Tab This tab shows all the worksheets which are present in the workbook. By default, you will see, three worksheets in your new workbook with the names Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3 respectively. Status Bar - It is a thin bar at the bottom of the Excel window. It will give you instant help once you start

- 6. 06 is a predefined formula that performs calculations using specific values in a particular order. all spreadsheet programs include common functions that can be used for quickly finding the sum, average, count, maximum value, and minimum value for a range of cells. FUNCTION
- 7. Parts of a function The basic syntax for a function is an equals sign =. function name (SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT for example). arguments contain the information you want to calculate. The function in the example below would add the values of the cell range A1:A20.
- 9. SUM: This function adds all the values of the cells in the argument. AVERAGE: This function determines the average of the values included in the argument. It calculates the sum of the cells and then divides that value by the number of cells in the argument. COUNT: This function counts the number of cells with numerical data in the argument. This function is useful for quickly counting items in a cell range. COUNTIF - a function used to count the cells with a specified content within a range. SUMIF a function used to compute for the summation of a range if a certain condition is met. AVERAGEIF - a function used to compete for the average of a range if a certain condition is met.

- 11. 11 Statistical functions - performs data analysis in your spreadsheet. Math functions - performs mathematical operations in your spreadsheet. Logical functions - used to introduce decision making in the spreadsheet. Count functions - lets you count the number of cells in a given range.

- 26. Range - the range of cells where you want to look for the criteria. Criteria a value or label that determines if a cell is part of the range to be averaged or counted.
