Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program used to store and retrieve numerical data in a grid
format of columns and rows. Excel is ideal for entering, calculating and analyzing company data
such as sales figures, sales taxes or commissions.
the most important computer software program used in the workplace today. That's why so
many workers and prospective employees are required to learn Excel in order to enter or remain
in the workplace.
From the viewpoint of the employer, particularly those in the field of information systems, the
use of Excel as an end-user computing tool is essential. Not only are many business professionals
using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the workplace, an increasing number of
employers rely on Excel for decision support.
To help prevent you ever having to experience this situationhere are five of the top features and
benefits of Microsoft Excel:
1) Build great charts
Excel allows business users to unlock the potential of their data, by using formulas across a grid
of cells. Data is inserted into individual cells in rows or columns, allowing it to be sorted and
filtered, and then displayed in a visual presentation. Using pie charts, graphs and clustered
columns adds meaning to data, which otherwise may just exist as row after row of numbers.
These visualisations can add extra emphasis to business reports and persuasive marketing
material.
2) Use conditional formatting
Excel users can format their spreadsheets using different colours, bolds and italics, to
differentiate between columns and bring the most important data to the fore. The vast number of
tasks that can be achieved using this tool is impressive, here are just a few: Display simple icons
which represent related data, Highlighting a row based on a single value, Comparing values,
Comparing lists and Finding duplicates. Find out more about conditional formating.
3) Help identify trends
When presenting data in the form of charts or graphs, it can be helpful to include average lines,
which explicitly detail the key trends emerging from the information. This may help demonstrate
the key points to other users in a straightforward manner - for instance, an executive from a
different department during a board meeting. Excel allows trend lines to be extended beyond the
graph, to offer predictions of future activity - and such forecasts can help businesses develop
their future strategy.
4) Bring data together
Excel can be used to bring information from various files and documents together, so that it
exists in a single location. As well as raw data and information from other spreadsheets, it is
possible to import text and images. Other objects can be added using the Insert tab, or additional
spreadsheets can be added to the file.
5) Online access
Excel is available online as part of Microsoft's Office 365 productivity suite. This means
business leaders and employees have access to the program from a range of devices, from almost
any location. Providing they have a web-enabled PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet it should be
possible to access Excel, making remote and mobile working viable.

Solution
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program used to store and retrieve numerical data in a grid
format of columns and rows. Excel is ideal for entering, calculating and analyzing company data
such as sales figures, sales taxes or commissions.
the most important computer software program used in the workplace today. That's why so
many workers and prospective employees are required to learn Excel in order to enter or remain
in the workplace.
From the viewpoint of the employer, particularly those in the field of information systems, the
use of Excel as an end-user computing tool is essential. Not only are many business professionals
using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the workplace, an increasing number of
employers rely on Excel for decision support.
To help prevent you ever having to experience this situationhere are five of the top features and
benefits of Microsoft Excel:
1) Build great charts
Excel allows business users to unlock the potential of their data, by using formulas across a grid
of cells. Data is inserted into individual cells in rows or columns, allowing it to be sorted and
filtered, and then displayed in a visual presentation. Using pie charts, graphs and clustered
columns adds meaning to data, which otherwise may just exist as row after row of numbers.
These visualisations can add extra emphasis to business reports and persuasive marketing
material.
2) Use conditional formatting
Excel users can format their spreadsheets using different colours, bolds and italics, to
differentiate between columns and bring the most important data to the fore. The vast number of
tasks that can be achieved using this tool is impressive, here are just a few: Display simple icons
which represent related data, Highlighting a row based on a single value, Comparing values,
Comparing lists and Finding duplicates. Find out more about conditional formating.
3) Help identify trends
When presenting data in the form of charts or graphs, it can be helpful to include average lines,
which explicitly detail the key trends emerging from the information. This may help demonstrate
the key points to other users in a straightforward manner - for instance, an executive from a
different department during a board meeting. Excel allows trend lines to be extended beyond the
graph, to offer predictions of future activity - and such forecasts can help businesses develop
their future strategy.
4) Bring data together
Excel can be used to bring information from various files and documents together, so that it
exists in a single location. As well as raw data and information from other spreadsheets, it is
possible to import text and images. Other objects can be added using the Insert tab, or additional
spreadsheets can be added to the file.
5) Online access
Excel is available online as part of Microsoft's Office 365 productivity suite. This means
business leaders and employees have access to the program from a range of devices, from almost
any location. Providing they have a web-enabled PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet it should be
possible to access Excel, making remote and mobile working viable.

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program used to store and retrieve .pdf

  • 1. Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program used to store and retrieve numerical data in a grid format of columns and rows. Excel is ideal for entering, calculating and analyzing company data such as sales figures, sales taxes or commissions. the most important computer software program used in the workplace today. That's why so many workers and prospective employees are required to learn Excel in order to enter or remain in the workplace. From the viewpoint of the employer, particularly those in the field of information systems, the use of Excel as an end-user computing tool is essential. Not only are many business professionals using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the workplace, an increasing number of employers rely on Excel for decision support. To help prevent you ever having to experience this situationhere are five of the top features and benefits of Microsoft Excel: 1) Build great charts Excel allows business users to unlock the potential of their data, by using formulas across a grid of cells. Data is inserted into individual cells in rows or columns, allowing it to be sorted and filtered, and then displayed in a visual presentation. Using pie charts, graphs and clustered columns adds meaning to data, which otherwise may just exist as row after row of numbers. These visualisations can add extra emphasis to business reports and persuasive marketing material. 2) Use conditional formatting Excel users can format their spreadsheets using different colours, bolds and italics, to differentiate between columns and bring the most important data to the fore. The vast number of tasks that can be achieved using this tool is impressive, here are just a few: Display simple icons which represent related data, Highlighting a row based on a single value, Comparing values, Comparing lists and Finding duplicates. Find out more about conditional formating. 3) Help identify trends When presenting data in the form of charts or graphs, it can be helpful to include average lines, which explicitly detail the key trends emerging from the information. This may help demonstrate the key points to other users in a straightforward manner - for instance, an executive from a different department during a board meeting. Excel allows trend lines to be extended beyond the graph, to offer predictions of future activity - and such forecasts can help businesses develop their future strategy. 4) Bring data together Excel can be used to bring information from various files and documents together, so that it exists in a single location. As well as raw data and information from other spreadsheets, it is
  • 2. possible to import text and images. Other objects can be added using the Insert tab, or additional spreadsheets can be added to the file. 5) Online access Excel is available online as part of Microsoft's Office 365 productivity suite. This means business leaders and employees have access to the program from a range of devices, from almost any location. Providing they have a web-enabled PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet it should be possible to access Excel, making remote and mobile working viable. some of the shortcut keys are: Ctrl+A Select All None All Ctrl+B Bold Format, Cells, Font, Font Style, Bold All Ctrl+C Copy Edit, Copy All Ctrl+D Fill Down Edit, Fill, Down All Ctrl+F Find Edit, Find All Ctrl+G Goto Edit, Goto All Ctrl+H Replace Edit, Replace All

Excel 2007+ Solution Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program used to store and retrieve numerical data in a grid format of columns and rows. Excel is ideal for entering, calculating and analyzing company data such as sales figures, sales taxes or commissions. the most important computer software program used in the workplace today. That's why so many workers and prospective employees are required to learn Excel in order to enter or remain in the workplace. From the viewpoint of the employer, particularly those in the field of information systems, the use of Excel as an end-user computing tool is essential. Not only are many business professionals using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the workplace, an increasing number of

To help prevent you ever having to experience this situationhere are five of the top features and benefits of Microsoft Excel: 1) Build great charts Excel allows business users to unlock the potential of their data, by using formulas across a grid of cells. Data is inserted into individual cells in rows or columns, allowing it to be sorted and filtered, and then displayed in a visual presentation. Using pie charts, graphs and clustered columns adds meaning to data, which otherwise may just exist as row after row of numbers. These visualisations can add extra emphasis to business reports and persuasive marketing material. 2) Use conditional formatting Excel users can format their spreadsheets using different colours, bolds and italics, to differentiate between columns and bring the most important data to the fore. The vast number of tasks that can be achieved using this tool is impressive, here are just a few: Display simple icons which represent related data, Highlighting a row based on a single value, Comparing values, Comparing lists and Finding duplicates. Find out more about conditional formating. 3) Help identify trends When presenting data in the form of charts or graphs, it can be helpful to include average lines, which explicitly detail the key trends emerging from the information. This may help demonstrate the key points to other users in a straightforward manner - for instance, an executive from a different department during a board meeting. Excel allows trend lines to be extended beyond the graph, to offer predictions of future activity - and such forecasts can help businesses develop their future strategy. 4) Bring data together Excel can be used to bring information from various files and documents together, so that it exists in a single location. As well as raw data and information from other spreadsheets, it is possible to import text and images. Other objects can be added using the Insert tab, or additional spreadsheets can be added to the file. 5) Online access Excel is available online as part of Microsoft's Office 365 productivity suite. This means business leaders and employees have access to the program from a range of devices, from almost any location. Providing they have a web-enabled PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet it should be possible to access Excel, making remote and mobile working viable. some of the shortcut keys are: Ctrl+A Select All
