Symbols that evaluate each value to determine if it is the same (=), greater than (>), less than (<), or in between a range of values as specified by the criteria.
comparison operator
A format that changes the appearance of a cell based on a condition.
conditional format
A pie slice is an example of:
data marker
A chart type that displays trends over time is a:
line chart
A group of functions that test for specific conditions, and which typically use conditional tests to determine whether specified conditions are true or false
logical functions
The process of changing the values in cells to see how those changes affect the outcome of formulas in a worksheet.
what-if analysis
An Excel function that adds a group of values and then divides the result by the number of values in the group.
AVERAGE function
A statistical function that counts the number of cells within a range that meet the given condition and which has two arguments—the range of cells to check and the criteria.
COUNTIF function
The Excel feature which, after typing = and the first letter of a function, displays a list of function names.
Formula AutoComplete
A what-if analysis tool that finds the input needed in one cell to arrive at the desired result in another cell
Goal Seek
A function that uses a logical test to check whether a condition is met, and then returns one value if true and another value if false.
IF function
Any value or expression that can be evaluated as being true or false.
Logical test
An Excel function that determines the largest value in a range.
MAX function
An Excel function that finds the middle value that has as many values above it in the group as are below it.
MEDIAN function
An Excel function that determines the smallest value in a range.
MIN function
The mathematical formula to calculate a rate of increase.
Rate = amount of increase/base
A predefined formula that adds all the numbers in a selected range.
SUM function
Excel functions, such as AVERAGE, that are useful to analyze a group of measurements.
Statistical functions
The formula for calculating the value after an increase by multiplying the original value—the base—by the percent for new value.
Value after increase = base × percent for new value
A cell reference that refers to a cell by its fixed position in a worksheet is referred to as being:
absolute
A line that serves as a frame of reference for measurement and that borders the chart plot area
axis
The starting point when you divide the amount of increase by it to calculate the rate of increase is the:
base
A shape effect that uses shading and shadows to make the edges of a shape appear to be curved or angled.
bevel
The area along the bottom of a chart that identifies the categories of data; also referred to as the x-axis.
category axis
The x-axis is also known as the:
category axis
The entire chart and all of its elements.
chart area
A workbook sheet that contains only a chart.
chart sheet
In a chart, each data point—bar, slice, and so on—has a unique
color or pattern
Conditions that you specify in a logical function.
criteria
A column, bar, area, dot, pie slice, or other symbol in a chart that represents a single data point.
data marker
The action of pulling out a pie slice from a pie chart for emphasis is called:
explode
A predefined formula that performs calculations by using specific values in a particular order or structure.
function
The percent by which one number increases over another number is the percentage rate of:
increase
The mathematical rules for performing multiple calculations within a formula.
order of operations
A chart that shows the relationship of each part to a whole.
pie chart
The area bounded by the axes of a chart, including all the data series, is the:
plot area
A value that originates in a worksheet cell and that is represented in a chart by a data marker is a data:
point
In a formula, the address of a cell based on the relative position of the cell that contains the formula and the cell referred to in the formula.
relative cell reference
Related data points represented by data markers are referred to as the data:
series
A numerical scale on the left side of a chart that shows the range of numbers for the data points; also referred to as the y-axis
value axis
The y-axis is also known as the:
value axis
A command that enables you to select one or more rows or columns and lock them in place.
Freeze Panes
