I. Motivation/Pre-Assessment
Did you ever try to calculate manually? with a pen? paper? and calculator? How was it
for you if you were in a hurry? Write your thoughts below.
Thank you. Now before technology rapid rises as it what it is now today, people
who are familiar with productivity tools can easily adapt whenever it is updated, but how
about those people who aren’t capable of the fast-growing development of technology?
That is why we need to acknowledge the basics up to the different parts of productivity
tools. To know if you have a background about MS Excel, remember what you learned in

What is MS Excel?
According to Microsoft Excel (2020, August 25),
“MS Excel is a commercial spreadsheet application
that is produced and distributed by Microsoft for
Microsoft Windows and Mac OS operating systems.
It features the ability to perform basic calculations,
use graphing tools, create pivot tables, and create
macros, among other useful features.” MS Excel is a
computerized worksheet. It has the standard feature of
an electronic spreadsheet which uses cells that are
represented in rows and columns designed to perform
arithmetic operations. MS Excel is widely used in
accounting and financial applications, as well as in
Figure 1: MS Excel 2016
statistics and engineering calculations. The program
supports and displays graphs, charts and histograms from a given set or groups of data.
Refer to the questions above. What we compute in calculators can be automatically
computed by one of the features in MS Excel.

I.What is a Formula?
Formula is used to calculate values. Use of an equal sign or the AutoSum function
is needed to build a formula.
Texts are letters, symbols, numbers, and spaces or any combination that you
enter into a cell.
Value is a number that you enter into a cell that you may use in a formula later.
You may include in the value the numeric symbols such as decimal point, comma, or
currency.
ARITHMETIC OPERATION AND
CORRESPONDING KEYBOARD SIGN
SIGN OPERATION EXAMPLE FUNCTION
+ Addition =B5 + C5 Adds the values of cells B5 & C5.
- Subtraction =B5 - C5 Subtracts the values of cells C5 from cell
B5.
* Multiplication =B5 * C5 Multiplies the values of cells B5 from cell
C5.
/ Division =B5 / C5 Divides the values of cells B5 from cell C5.
^ Exponentiation =B5 ^ C5 Increases the values of cells B5 from cell
C5.
A formula can also contain any or all the following: functions, references, operators, and
constants. Always start the formula with an equal = sign.
CONSTANTS
FUNCTIONS
= PI () *A8 ^ 7 – 6 + 1
REFERENCE
OPERATORS
PARTS OF A FORMULA
Functions The PI () function returns the value of pi: 3.1416…
References D8 returns the value in cell D8
Constants Numbers or text values entered directly into a formula, such as 4,3,9
Operators The ^ (caret) operator raises a number to a power
The * (asterisk) operator multiplies numbers
The + (plus) operator add numbers
The – (minus) operator subtracts numbers
ENTERING FORMULAS
Formulas are arithmetic calculations that can be performed in Excel. An excel formula
always begin with an equal (=) sign. To create the sample on the next figure, follow the
steps.
1. On cell E5, type =B5+C5+D5 then press the Enter key.
2. On cell E6, type =B6+C6+D6 then press the Enter key.
3. Type the rest of the formulas.

4. Another way you can do especially when adding on a long worksheet, on cell E5
type the = sign, click the mouse on B5 and drag it up to D5 then press the Enter
key.
5. View the formula, select the cell and look at the Formula bar.
Number Symbol [ ###] Replacement
If the number is too long to fit within the cell boundaries, Excel displays a series of symbol
### in the cell. The number and the formula are still stored in the cell, but the width of the
cell is not enough to show the whole number. To display the value, you must increase the
size of the column width. There are many ways to increase the Size of the column width.
1. Go to the cell where the ### symbol appears.
2. Click the Home tab, go to the Cells group and click the Format button. On the
drop-down list, select Column Width. On the Column Width dialog box, type the
width size you prefer and click OK.
3. You can also click the column header to highlight the column and right click the
mouse.
4. On the Context menu, click Column width and on the dialog box, type the size
you prefer.
5. Or you can simply place your mouse pointer between the column headers and
when the double-headed arrow appears, drag the mouse to resize.
6. Another way is to double click the double-headed arrow to auto-fit the column.
