Exploring Microsoft Excel Home Tab
Introduces commands and controls available on Excel's Home tab. Common controls include clipboard actions, alignment, number formats, and basic cell editing.
Microsoft Excel Features
Surveys Excel features used to work with spreadsheet data. The emphasis is on choosing appropriate tools for entering, organizing, and reviewing tabular information.
Worksheet and Workbook in Microsoft Excel
Explains how worksheets fit within an Excel workbook. A workbook contains multiple sheets, which allows related tables or calculations to be separated while remaining in one file.
Basic Formula
Introduces formulas for calculating values from cells. Cell references and arithmetic operators show how a result changes when its input values change.
Data Cleansing, Sort & Filter
Covers cleaning entries, ordering rows, and filtering a data range. These steps help isolate relevant records and correct inconsistent values before calculations begin.
Data Formatting
Addresses formatting cells to make spreadsheet data easier to read. Number formats, alignment, and visual emphasis can distinguish input data from calculated results.
Agregate Data
Covers combining values into summary figures. Functions such as SUM or COUNT illustrate how a range of records becomes a useful total or count.
Conditional If-Else
Introduces conditional formulas that return results based on a test. An IF expression checks a condition and selects one value when it is true and another when it is false.
