Excel modifies cell references when copying formulas. While copying formulas, however, sometimes you do not want Excel to change cell references. To keep a cell reference constant when copying a formula or function, Excel uses a technique called absolute cell referencing. To specify an absolute cell reference in a formula, enter a dollar sign ($) before any column letters or row numbers you want to keep constant in formulas you plan to copy. For example, $B$4 is an absolute cell reference, whereas B4 is a relative cell reference. Both reference the same cell. The difference becomes apparent when they are copied to a destination area.A formula using the absolute cell reference $B$4 instructs Excel to keep the cell reference B4 constant (absolute) in the formula as it copies it to the destination area. A formula using the relative cell reference B4 instructs Excel to adjust the cell reference as it copies it to the destination area. A cell reference with only one dollar sign before either the column or the row is called a mixed cell reference. When planning formulas, be aware of when you need to use absolute, relative, and mixed cell references.
Briefly discuss how Excel modifies cell references when copying and pasting formulas, including an explanation of absolute, relative, and mixed cell references.
unused
Data tables must be built in a(n) ____ area of a worksheet.
When more than one arithmetic operator is involved in a formula, Excel follows the same basic order of operations that you use in algebra. Moving from left to right in a formula, the order of operations is as follows: first negation (-), then all percentages (%), then all exponentiations (^), then all multiplications (*) and divisions (/), and finally, all additions (+) and subtractions (-).As in algebra, you can use parentheses to override the order of operations. For example, if Excel follows the order of operations, 8 * 3 + 2 equals 26. If you use parentheses, however, to change the formula to 8 * (3 + 2), the result is 40, because the parentheses instruct Excel to add 3 and 2 before multiplying by 8.
Describe the order of operations that Excel uses to calculate formulas within a cell.
false
Excel is case sensitive with respect to names of cells.
true
Excel recognizes the following as text: 401AX21, 921-231, 619 321, 883XTY.
SUM
Excel's ____________________ function, which adds all of the numbers in a range of cells, provides a convenient means to calculate a total.
First you select the cells that you want to be in the chart. Then you go to the Insert tab, charts group, insert pie or doughnut button. There are three different kinds of charts, 2-D, 3-D, or doughnut. Once you choose a chart click it then a chart will appear with the data you have selected.
Explain how to create a chart in Excel. What type of chart options are available?
The values version of the worksheet shows the results of the formulas you have entered, rather than the actual formulas. Excel also can display and print the formulas version of the worksheet, which shows the actual formulas you have entered, rather than the resulting values.The formulas version is useful for debugging a worksheet. Debugging is the process of finding and correcting errors in the worksheet. Viewing and printing the formulas version instead of the values version makes it easier to see any mistakes in the formulas.When you change from the values version to the formulas version, Excel increases the width of the columns so that the formulas and text do not overflow into adjacent cells on the right. The formulas version of the worksheet, thus, usually is significantly wider than the values version.
Explain in detail why you would want to display the formulas version of a worksheet? How do you get the formula version of the worksheet?
