Not to fear! Microsoft Excel is here!

08/01/06

A big HEY to all of the anonymous people who's reading my blog. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!! Even though it's kind of a late wish! I haven't made any New Year resolutions. I'm already great.

Today we learned about Microsoft Excel. It was pretty cool. It was cooler than any of the other Microsoft Office programs. First we were given a lesson, followed by a mini assignment. Down below you can see some things we learned today.

In Excel there are 3 different sheets. Those three sheets made together is called a book. If three sheets is not enough and you want to add another sheet you can go to Insert and select worksheet.

Each of the box that's on the sheet is called a cell. Each cell has it's own name (ex. B6)

There are three different kinds of information which you can put into a cell. They are..........

Text String: can be either writing or a number

Formula: something used to figure out the answer (* it has to start with =) (ex. =3+5)

Value: Something you can do math to

Mr. Case said that these are some terms that are going to be on the test.

Interesting Info.

* Each of the cells are like calculators, you put in the formula and it will give you the answer

** Even if you change one tiny number it will change your whole document, so it's good to have a dummy document

Like always we were given a mini project after the short lesson. It's not actually a project though. We had to make a chart with our real term one marks. Have a great day!
