What is a Spreadsheet
Software?
• allows users to organize data
in rows an columns and
perform calculations on the
data
• These rows and columns
collectively are called
worksheet.
Examples of Spreadsheet
Software:

• LibreOffice Calc
• OpenOffice.org Calc
• Google Sheets
• Apple iWork Numbers
• Kingsoft Office Spreadsheets
• StarOffice Calc
MICROSOFT
EXCEL
 To open Microsoft
Excel, Press “Windows
Logo” + R then type
“excel” then enter.
Key Terms in MS
Excel:
• Row - horizontal line of entries
in a table
• Column – vertical line of
entries in a table
• Cell - the place where info. is
held in a spreadsheet
Key Terms in MS
Excel:
• Active Cell – the selected cell
• Column Heading – the box at
the top of each column
containing a letter
• Row Heading – the row
number
 Key Terms in MS
Excel:
• Cell Reference – the cell address
of the cell usually combine letter
and number (ex. A1, B4, C2)
• Merge – combining or joining two
or more cells
• Formula – is an expression which
calculates the value of a cell.
Key Terms in MS
Excel:
• Functions – are predefined
formulas and are already
available in Excel
• Formula Bar – the bar that
displays the contents of a cell
FUNCTIONS
BASIC MATH OPERATIONS:
• =SUM(x,y) or =SUM(range) –
returns the sum of x and y or (all the
numbers within the range)
• =PRODUCT(x,y) – returns the
product of x and y
• =QUOTIENT(x,y) – returns the
quotient of x divided by y
• =x-y – returns the difference of
x subtracted by y
 BASIC MATH OPERATIONS:
• =x+y – returns the sum of x and y
• =x*y – returns the product of x
and y
• =x/y – returns the quotient of x
divided by y
• =x-y – returns the difference of x
subtracted by y
OTHER
FUNCTIONS:
• =ABS(x) – returns the absolute
value of x
• =AVERAGE(x,y) – returns the
average of x and y
• =CONCATENATE(x,y) – joins x
and y
OTHER
FUNCTIONS:
• =IF(Condition, x, y) – returns x
if the condition is true, else it
returns y
• =ISEVEN(x) – returns true if x is
an even number
• =ISODD(x) – returns true if x is
an odd number
OTHER
FUNCTIONS:
• =COUNT(range) – counts the
number of cell containing a
number within a range
• =COUNTIF(range, criteria) -
count the number of cell that fits
with the criteria within the
range
 OTHER FUNCTIONS:
• =ISNUMBER(x) – returns true if x
is a number
• =ISTEXT(x) – returns true if x is a
text
• =LEN(x) – returns the length of
characters in x
• =PROPER(x) – returns the proper
casing of x
OTHER
FUNCTIONS:
• =LEFT(x,y) – returns the
characters of x specified by y
(from the left)
• =RIGHT(x,y) – returns the
characters of x specified by y
(from the right)
• =PI() – returns the value of
 OTHER FUNCTIONS:
• =MIN(x,y) – returns the smallest
number between x and y
• =MAX(x,y) – returns the largest
number between x and y
• =MIN(range) – returns the
smallest number within the range
• =MAX(range) – returns the largest
number within the range
 OTHER FUNCTIONS:
• =POWER(x,y) – returns the value
of x raised to the power of y
• =ROUND(x,y) – rounds xto a
specified number of digits (y)
=COLUMN(x) – returns the column
number of x
• =ROW(x) – returns the row
number of x
 OTHER FUNCTIONS:
• =SQRT(x) – returns the square
root of x
• =TRIM(x) – removes extra spaces
in x
• =UPPER(x) – returns x in all
capital form
• =LOWER(x) – returns x in non-
capital form
 OTHER
•FUNCTIONS:
=TODAY() – returns the current
date
• =NOW() – returns the current
date and time
