Everything is Made out of Cells!
Well, today in computer class we started working on our Excel unit. It was pretty interesting. We spent half of the class talking about the really cool ways you can do to calculate things in this program. There are also a few terms I would need to remember for the test:
cells: each of the boxes you see on your sheet
text string: a text; something that math cannot be done to
value: numbers; something that math can be done to
formula: an equation starting with =
The formula so far is one of the most important things you can do in Excel. With this you can add up the values in your cells, or do anything with them at all like finding out the average of the marks in your report card. Another important thing is that if one number is changed, the other numbers that relies on it would change as well so you wouldn't have to do the math yourself.
You can add sheets to your document if you want. This would really come in handy if you have a lot of information to type up. You can cut and copy the formulas from one sheet and paste it on another so you would have exactly the same formula and then you wouldn't have to change the data from one sheet to another. To add a sheet go to Insert, and then click on Worksheet.
The other thing that my teacher showed us today was the features that you can adjust so that your chart would look nice when you print it out. You can do this by going to Format, and then Cells. With only these two options, you can do a tremendous amount of things, like adjusting the numbers after a decimal, placing borders on your chart, changing the alignment of your font, etc. There are many things you can do with this.
Oh, by the way my podcast is due in two weeks. I hope my partner and I would do a good job on them.
