INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
Thomas Lotts (1803 – 1873) was an English
stationer and printer who popularised the
diary.
He was born at Stockwell, London, the son
of John Lotts, a bookbinder and printer of
the Royal Exchange. In 1816 his father
published, ‘Lotts's diary or bills owed book and almanac’ as the first
commercially-produced diary, which Thomas developed into of
dozens of differently-printed and bound, annual publications.

SKILLSSKILLSSKILLSSKILLS As explained in the theory section, a cell is the box in the
spreadsheet where you insert your data. To do so, you
simply have to click on the one you want to fill, and type.
� The cells have names depending on
which column and row they are in.
For example: the cell in which channel
lies, is A3 because it is in column A and row 3.
� You can also resize cells to make them smaller or
bigger so they fit exactly your data.
This is done by:
1. Placing the cursor between the right side of the
column you want to resize and the one next to it.
2. Clicking, holding and dragging to where you want it.

� You can use cells to carry out calculations,
using FUNCTIONS and FORMULAS.
� If you wanted to calculate how many hours you spent
watching E4 and ITV2 you could use a simple sum
function.
By typing an equals sign (=), selecting the two cells
that have that information, and putting a plus sign
between them (+).
