Empowerment Technology: Key Terms

Spreadsheet software like Excel, Google Sheets, and OpenOffice Calc allows users to organize data in rows and columns called worksheets and perform calculations on that data using functions. Key functions include SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, and IF to sum, average, count, or conditionally format ranges of cells. Spreadsheets also feature formatting options, column and row references, and the ability to merge or join multiple cells.

2. OpenOffice.org Calc
3. Google sheets
4. Apple iWork Numbers
5. Kingsoft Office Spreadsheets
6. Star Office Calc
7. Microsoft Excel (Windows Logo + R then type “excel” then enter)

Key Terms
Row – horizontal line of entries in a table
Column – vertical line of entries in a table
Cell - the place where information is held in a spreadsheet
Active Cell – the selected cell
Column Heading – the box at the top of each column containing a letter
Row Heading – the row number
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
Functions – are predefined formulas and are already available in Excel
Formula Bar – the bar that displays the contents of a cell

1. Accounting Number Format - a number format that is used for accounting
2. Orientation – the angle at which a text is displayed
3. Count – a function to count the cells with content in a range
4. Sum –used to compute for the summarization of the number of a range
5. Average – to compute for the average of a number of a range
6. COUNTIF - to count the cells with a specified content within a range
7. SUMIF – to compute for the summarization of a range if a certain condition is met
8. AVERAGEIF – to compute for the average of a range if a certain condition is met
9. Range – the range of cells where you want to look for the criteria
