Basics of Spreadsheet:-
Working with rows, columns, and cells:-
In Excel, each worksheet is organized into a grid of rows, columns, and cells. Individual cells can also be grouped into ranges, which are just series of cells strung together. These items interact with each other to form the basic layout of an Excel document.
Cell addresses
Take a look at the below diagram, which shows rows, columns, cells, and ranges all in one place:
As you can see, Excel labels columns by letter. You can see column labels highlighted along the top of the screen: A, B, C, etc. Rows are highlighted along the side of the screen, and are organized by number: 1, 2, 3, etc.
At the intersection of each row and column is a cell, which is just one of the boxes on the grid of a worksheet. Each cell has a unique address, obtained by combining the column letter and the row number of the given cell. For example, cell B4 lies at the intersection of column B and row 4.
Whenever you select a cell, you'll see its address appear in the cell address box directly above the labels columns A and B. You can also type a cell name into this box and press Enter to automatically zoom to a given cell.
Cell ranges
Multiple cells can be grouped into ranges, which are adjacent series of cells. Take, for example, the following screenshot:
In this worksheet, we've highlighted the range of all cells between C3 and C6. When we want to talk about a range like this, we do so by using the colon (:) character between the first and last cells in the range, like so: C3:C6. This notation means "the range of all cells between C3 and C6".
We can also talk about ranges that span multiple rows and columns, like B2:E7 below:
Manipulating rows and columns
There are many things you can do to manipulate a row or column; but before you can do to, you must select it.
To select a single row or column, click the label of that row or column at the left or top of the screen:
To select multiple rows or columns, click the label of one row or column and keep the mouse button held down, then drag over to select multiple:
To select all rows and all columns in a worksheet, click the small box that appears at the intersection of row 1 and column A:
Once you have rows or columns selected, right click their labels to bring up the row / column manipulation menu, which appears in the screenshot below.
This menu has a variety of functions, and will allow you to do any of the following:
*Cut / copy / paste rows or columns, Use this if you would like to duplicate rows or columns, or if you would like to rearrange their order.
*Insert new rows or columns, This will insert new rows above — or new columns to the left of — the row or column you have selected.
*Delete rows or columns,This will delete the rows or columns in question entirely and collapse the remainder of the sheet in to take the place of the removed row or column.
*Format rows or columns, Use this option to apply formatting to each cell within a row or column. Potential formatting options include text colors, background colors, and borders.
*Hide and unhide rows or columns, Use this option to temporarily hide or unhide rows or columns. This makes it easier to manage large spreadsheets by hiding non-critical data.
You can also resize a row or column by hovering your mouse over the divider between two rows or two columns, then clicking and dragging to expand or contract it.
Manipulating cells
Cells can be manipulated just like rows and columns. To do so, select a cell or range, then right click. The cell manipulation menu will appear.
This menu allows you to:
*Cut / copy / paste cells, Use this to duplicate cells from one place in your worksheet to another.
*Insert new cells, Note that when you insert a cell, you'll have to tell Excel how to do it (you must either shift rows or columns in the existing sheet to accomodate the new cell).
*Delete cells, Like insertion, deletion also causes a shift in your sheet. Excel will ask you where you want cells to shift when you delete a cell.
*Format cells, Use this option to apply formatting to each cell. Potential formatting options include text colors, background colors, and borders.
Those are the basics of row, column, and cell manipulation in Excel. There's much more to learn about information Technology and PC Package...,Here you will find all important concepts that is very helpful for students...;
