  • Cell: The basic unit in a spreadsheet where you can enter data. It's identified by a unique combination of a column letter and a row numbe
  • Cell Reference: A way to identify a specific cell in a spreadsheet. It's typically denoted by the column letter followed by the row number (e.g., A1, B2).
  • Worksheet: A single page/tab within a spreadsheet file where you can organize and manipulate data. Spreadsheets often consist of multiple worksheets.
  • Ribbon: The toolbar at the top of the spreadsheet software interface that contains various commands and tools for working with the spreadsheet, such as formatting options, formulas, and data manipulation tools.
  • Formula Bar: A bar typically located just below the ribbon where you can view and edit the contents of a selected cell. It's where you enter formulas or edit the data in a cell.
  • Sum: Adds up a range of numbers. For example, to sum the numbers in cells A1 to A5, you would write "=SUM(A1:A5)".
  • Min: Finds the smallest value in a range of cells. To find the smallest value in cells A1 to A5, you would write "=MIN(A1:A5)".
  • Max: Finds the largest value in a range of cells. To find the largest value in cells A1 to A5, you would write "=MAX(A1:A5)".
  • Average: Calculates the average (mean) of a range of numbers. For example, to find the average of the numbers in cells A1 to A5, you would write "=AVERAGE(A1:A5)".
  • CountA: Counts the number of non-empty cells in a range. For example, to count the non-empty cells in cells A1 to A5, you would write "=COUNTA(A1:A5)".
    1. Count: Counts the number of numeric values in a range. For example, to count the numeric values in cells A1 to A5, you would write "=COUNT(A1:A5)".
  • The IF function in spreadsheets allows you to test a condition and return one value if the condition is true, and another value if the condition is false.
    Here's a basic structure:
    =IF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false)
    For example, if you want to check if a cell A1 is greater than 10, and if true, display "Yes", otherwise display "No", you would write:
    =IF(A1>10, "Yes", "No")
    If the value in cell A1 is indeed greater than 10, it will display "Yes", otherwise "No".
  • Functions are predefined operations that perform specific calculations or tasks, like SUM or AVERAGE. They are built-in features of spreadsheet software.
    Formulas are combinations of operators, cell references, and functions used to perform calculations in a spreadsheet. They can utilize functions, constants, and cell references to produce results. Essentially, functions are a type of formula—they're specific operations you can perform within a formula.
    1. Addition: Use the plus sign (+) to add numbers together.
    2. Subtraction: Use the minus sign (-) to subtract one number from another.
    3. Multiplication: Use the asterisk () to multiply numbers together. For example, to multiply the numbers in cells A1 and B1, you would write "=A1B1".
    4. Division: Use the forward slash (/) to divide one number by another. For example, to divide the number in cell A1 by the number in cell B1, you would write "=A1/B1".
  • To format a spreadsheet for your audience:
    1. Clear Titles: Ensure titles are descriptive.
    2. Colour: Use colours to highlight.
    3. Font: Keep it readable.
    4. Borders: Use for separation.
    5. Alignment: Align text properly.
    6. Consistency: Keep formatting the same.
    7. Charts: Use for visualisation.

  • To display the formula view in spreadsheet software like Excel:
    Formula View:
    - In Excel, you can toggle to the formula view by pressing "Ctrl + `". This shortcut key shows formulas instead of values in the cells. You can also go to the Formulas tab on the ribbon and click on "Show Formulas".
  • To display the data view in spreadsheet software like Excel:
    Data View:
    - In Excel, there isn't a specific "data view" mode.
