This feature makes a spreadsheet an excellent tool for investigating "what if"situations. For example, the effect which a change in the VAT rules would have on studentliving standards could be determined quickly and easily. Excel also provides a wide range of graphical tools. There are many different chart typeswhich you can use to illustrate the results of your data analysis; showing your data in a chartcan make it clearer, more interesting, and easier to read. Charts can also help you evaluateyour data and make comparisons between different worksheet values. Graphic objects suchas lines, arrows and added text can be placed on worksheets and charts to draw attention tospecific points.

Excel 2004 AppleScript Reference

About the Excel AppleScript Dictionary The Microsoft Excel AppleScript dictionary provides comprehensive access for programmatically controlling Excel by using AppleScript. The Excel AppleScript Dictionary is based on the Visual Basic object model for Excel, and as such its terminology and syntax closely mirror the terminology and syntax used in Visual Basic.

Creating A Grade Sheet With Microsoft Excel

Creating A Grade Sheet With Microsoft Excel Microsoft Excel serves as an excellent tool for tracking grades in your course. But its power is not limited to its ability to organize information in rows and columns. Using formulas and functions in Excel, you can simplify the grading process. With Excel you can sort students by names, grades or whatever characteristics you choose. You can also setup a grade curve in advance and have Excel automatically assign letter grades (not just percentages) to each of your students. When you change the curve, the grades will change automatically. This tutorial will show you how to setup a grading sheet in Excel that makes use of all these functions plus some other helpful features that will be explained in detail later. This tutorial assumes the reader has a basic understanding of how to navigate a spreadsheet and enter data in cells. A reader who is experienced with Excel and is familiar with entering formulas and the difference between absolute and relative cell references can begin in section three.

The Basics Of Microsoft Excel

The Basics of Microsoft Excel A spreadsheet allows you to enter rows and columns of information and then to manipulate the data in a variety of ways. Spreadsheets can be used to produce reports, extensive calculations, accounting, graphing and charting and problem solving. Cells are the basic building blocks of a spreadsheet. Each cell has an address, which is determined by its column and row position. Columns are indicated by letters (column headers) arranged along the top of the worksheet area, and rows are indicated by numbers (row headers) along the left side. Where the column and row intersects creates a cell with its address indicated by the column letter followed by the row number. For example, the first cell of a worksheet is A1, where column A intersects with row 1. Each Excel worksheet consists of 256 columns (labeled A to IV) and 65,536 rows. This gives you over 16.7 million cells of information per worksheet. A workbook (file) can contain up to 255 worksheets. You are probably limited more by your computer memory than space provided by Excel.
