Short Menu

Right-click on the worksheet tab, a shortcut menu appears that helps you to

quickly insert, delete, rename, move or copy sheets.

Performing calculationsMicrosoft Excel can help you perform calculations on the data you enter. With

formulas, you can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division using

the values contained in various cells. For example, if you want to determine the



19/45

www.asjad.vze.com

average of four values contained in cell B5, C5, D5 and E5, you would type the

following formula in the cell where you want the result to appear;

= (B5+C5+D5+E5) / 4

Remember, every formula must begin with an equal sign (=)

Here are some formulas to study:

Exponentiation A13 Enters the result of raising the value in cell A1 to the

third power

Addition A1 + A2 Enters the total of the values in cells A1 and A2.

Subtraction A1 - A2 Subtracts the value in cell A2 from the value in cell

A1

Multiplication A2*6 Multiplies the values in cell A2 by 6

Division A1/50 Divides the value in cell A1 by 50

Combination (A1+A2+A3)*3 Adds the values in cell A1, A2 and A3 first, and then

multiplies the total by 3.

Excels performs the operations within a formula in the following order:

1st Exponential and equations within parentheses

2nd Multiplication and division

3rd Addition and subtraction

Keep this order of operations in mind when you are applying a formula because it

determines the result.

Auto Calculate

Auto Calculate is feature of Microsoft Excel that shows the sum, average,

minimum, maximum and count of a range of cells, on the status bar, when you

select the cells. Sum is displayed as default, to display something other than the

sum, right click the status bar and select the option you want from the shortcut

menu.

Displaying formulas in cells

Normally, Excel shows the actual formula in formula bar, the result of the formula

is displayed in the cell. However, if you are trying to review all the formulas in alarge worksheet, it would be easier if you could see them all at once. To toggle

between viewing formulas and viewing values, hold down the Ctrl key and press `

(the accent key). When you no longer need to view formulas, press Ctrl + again.

Editing formulas

You can edit a formula by selecting the cell and press F2 or by clicking in formula

bar.

Copying formulas

When you copy a formula, the formula is adjusted to relate to the cell to which it is

copied. This is called relative addressing, because the addresses of the cells in the

original formula are adjusted to reflect their new column or row.

You can copy formulas using the copy and paste command or using fill handle:

Select the cell that contains the formula you want to copy.

Click copy.

Select the cell or cells where you want to copy the formula.

Click paste



21/45

www.asjad.vze.com

Do not press ENTER after you click OK. If you do, the entire cells within the

moving border are copied to the paste area. To cancel the moving border, press

ESC.

OR

Select the cell that contains the formula you want to copy.

Click and drag the fill handle across the cells into which you want to copy the

formula. (It works only when cells are adjoining).

Absolute versus relative referencesAn absolute reference is a cell reference in a formula that does not change when

copied to new location. A relative reference is a cell reference in a formula that is

adjusted when the formula is copied. Depending on the task you want to perform

in Excel, you can use either relative cell references, or absolute references, which

are cell references that always refer to cells in a specific location. If a dollar sign

precedes the letter and/or number, such as $A$1, the column and/or row reference

is absolute. Relative references automatically adjust when you copy them, andabsolute references do not.

A reference that is only partially absolute, such as A$2 or $A2. When a formula

that uses a mixed reference is copied to another cell only part of the cell reference

(the relative part) is adjusted.

Relative reference

= B5*4 When copies to adjoining cells = C5*4, and so on.

Absolute reference

= $B$5*C1 When copies to adjoining cells =$B$C2,=$B$5*C3, and so on

Mixed reference



22/45

www.asjad.vze.com

= B$5*$C1 When copies to adjoining cells =C$5*$C2, D$5C3, E$5*$C4 and

so on.

Recalculating the worksheet

Excel automatically recalculates formulas in a worksheet every time you edit a

value in a cell. However, on a large worksheet, you may not want Excel to

recalculate until you have entered all of your changes. To change the recalculation

setting.

Click tools menu and then click options.

Click the calculation tab.

Select automatic (default), automatic except tables (recalculates everything

except formulas in a data table), or manual (when you say to recalculate by

press Calc Now F9).

Click ok

Performing calculations with functionsFunctions are complex read-made formulas that perform a series of operations on

a specified range or values. For example, to determine the sum of a series of

number in cells A1 through H1, you can enter the function = SUM (A1:H1)

instead of entering = A1+B1+C1 and so on.

Microsoft Excel provides a fast way to enter sum of values called AutoSum. To

use AutoSum:

Select the cells in which you want the sum inserted i.e. normally at the end of a

row or column.

Click the AutoSum in the standard toolbar.

If the range is incorrect, drag over the right range and press Enter.



23/45

www.asjad.vze.com

Here are some functions that you use most often in your worksheets:

Functions Example Description

Average =Average (A5:A15) Calculates the average of a group of numbers

Count =Count (A10:A34) Counts how many numeric values in a range

Count Blank =Count Blank (C4:C45) Counts the cells in a range that are not blanks e.g.

empty cells or that contains zero.

IF =IF (A3>=500,A3*10%,A3*5%) It is a conditional formula. If A3 is greater than or

equal to 5000, the formula A3*10% is used.

otherwise A3*5% is used.

Max =Max (B4:G4) Returns the maximum value in a range

MIN =MIN (B4:G4) Returns the minimum value in a range

SUM =SUM (A6:A17) Calculates the total in a range

SUMIF =SUMIF (A1:A4, >160000,

B1:B4)

Suppose A1:A4 contain the following property

values for four homes: $ 100,000,

$200,000,$300,000, $400,000, respectively.

B1:B4 contain the following sales commissions

on each of the corresponding property values:

$7,000, $14,000, $21,000, $28,000

SUMIF (A1:A4,>160000, B1:B4 equals

$63,000

Using the function wizard

Although you can type of function directly into a cell just as you can type

formulas, you will find it easier to use the function wizard. It leads you through

the process of inserting a function. Select the cell in which you want to insert a



24/45

at the lower left of the Power Point window.

Normal view

Normal view contains three panes: the outline pane, the slide pane, and the notes

pane, these panes let you work on all aspects of your presentation in one place.

www.asjad.vze.com

Outline pane

Use the outline pane to organize and develop the content of your presentation. You

can type all of the text of your presentation and rearrange bullet points,

paragraphs, and slides. It is as same as outline view.

Slide pane

In the slide pane, you can see how your text looks on each slide. You can add

graphics, movies, and sounds, create hyperlinks, and add animations to individual

slides. It is as same as slide view.

Note pane

The notes pane lets you add your speaker notes or information you want to share

with the audience.

Slide sorter view

In slide sorter view, you see all the slides in your presentation on screen at the

same time, displayed in small size. This makes it easy to add, delete, and move

slides, add timings, and selecting the slides you want to preview and then clicking

shortcut to run a slide.

Adding, editing and formatting textText appears on a slide in a text box. All other objects appear on slide in their own

boxes for easy manipulation. Most often, the easiest way to add or edit text to a

slide is to type or edit it directly into any placeholder on the slide. If you want to



33/45

www.asjad.vze.com

add text outside a placeholder or shape, you can use the text box button on the

drawing toolbar.

You can enhance your text by using the font dialog box or by using the formatting

toolbar. Use the font dialog box if you want to add several enhancements to your

text at once. Use the formatting toolbar to add one enhancement at time.

formats to other locations by using format painter in the standard toolbar.

Sometimes, you want to move a placeholder (textbox) or delete it with its

contents. Click anywhere inside the textbox, a selection box appears around it.

Adding WordArt and ClipArt

You can add graphics and stylish text formats by using ClipArt and WordArt in

Drawing toolbar, in the same way as you did in Microsoft word and Excel.

Working in the Outline Pane or Outline View

In the outline pane, your presentation appears as an outline made up of the titles

and main text from each slide. You can type an outline in Power Point, begin with

an outline from the AutoContent Wizard, or import an outline from another

program, such as Microsoft Word.

Each slide title like this introduction appears next to a number and an icon. Body

text, indented up to five levels, appears below each title.

Working with an outline is the best way to organize and develop the content of

your presentation because you can see all titles and main text on the screen as you

work. You can rearrange points within a slide, move entire slides from one

position to another, and edit titles and body text. For example, to rearrange slides

or bullet items, just select the slide icon or bullet for the text you want to move,

and then drag it to its new location.

When you select text in the outline pane, buttons for working outlines become

available on the standard and formatting toolbars. You can use these buttons to

quickly organize your presentation for example, click promote or demote to

increase or decrease the indent level of a bullet. You can click show formatting to

turn formatting On or off in the outline expand. Expanded all lets you show all the

detailed in your outline or see just slide titles. You can also display all the buttons

for working with outlines on a single toolbar called outlining toolbar. On the view

menu, point to toolbars, and then click outlining.

The slide master contains text placeholders and placeholders for footers, such as

the date, time, and slide number. When you want to make a global change to the

look of your slides, you do not have to change each slide individually. Just make

the change once on the slide master, and Power Point automatically updates the

existing slides and applies the changes to any new slides you add.

To change the formatting of the text, select the text in the placeholders and make

the changes you want. For example, if you change the color of the placeholders

text to blue, text on existing and new slides will be changed to blue automatically.

Use the slide master to do the following: add a picture, change the background:

adjust the size of the placeholders; and change font style, size and color.

To have art or text for example, a company name or logo appear on every

slide, put it on the slide master. Objects appear on slides in the same location as

they do on the slide master. To add the same text to every slide, add the text to the

slide master by clicking the text box button on the drawing toolbar do not type in

the text placeholders. The look of text you have added with the text box button is

color or size of the text, change the bullet character, or add a picture or text
