QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (SET 01)

1. What is Consolidating data?

Answer – The Data Consolidation tool summarises data from multiple worksheets or workbooks into
a single worksheet that you can simply update. Consolidate has a graphical interface for copying data
from one set of cells to another and then performing one of a dozen operations on it. Consolidation
allows the contents of cells from many sheets to be consolidated in one location.

2. What is Subtotal?
Answer – SUBTOTAL: totals/adds data in an array—that is, a collection of cells with column and/or
row labels. You can choose arrays and then apply a statistical function (sum, average, max, min) to
them using the Subtotals dialogue. To maximise efficiency, a function can be applied to up to three
sets of arrays.

3. What is Goal Seek?

Answer – The word “goal seeking” refers to the act of determining your input value based on a
previously determined output value. The method entails the use of a certain operator in a formula that
may be calculated with computer software.
Example: Set Cell: This specifies the cell whose value will be changed to the desired value after the
Goal Seek operation is completed.
For instance, Jack received a 25 out of 30 in English and a 22 out of 30 in Math. In order to calculate
the score in IT, he needs to acquire an overall score of 85 percent. As a result, a goal has been
established, and according to it, Jack will discover one unknown variable, IT marks.

4. What is Scenario?
Answer – Scenarios are a tool to test “what-if” questions. Each scenario is given a unique name and
can be changed and presented independently. Only the content of the currently active scenario is
printed when you print the spreadsheet. A scenario is essentially a set of saved cell values that you
may use in your calculations. Using the Navigator or a dropdown list displayed beside the changing
cells, you may simply switch between these sets.

5. What is Solver?
Answer – The Solver option in the Tools menu is essentially a more advanced version of Goal Seek.
The Solver, on the other hand, deals with equations involving several unknown variables. It is meant
to minimise or maximise the result based on a set of rules that you specify.

6. Differentiate between relative and absolute hyperlinks.

Answer – An absolute hyperlink will stop working only if the target is moved. A relative hyperlink
will stop working only if the source and target locations change relative to each other.
Suppose, if you have two spreadsheets in the same folder linked to each other and you move the
entire folder to a new location, a relative hyperlink will not break a link.

7. How can we rename a worksheet in Spreadsheet?

All Rights Reserved @ Bhavans Middle East
Answer – There are three ways you can rename a worksheet, and the only difference between them is
the way in which you start the renaming process. You can do any of the following: Double-click on
one of the existing worksheet names. Right-click on an existing worksheet name, then choose
Rename from the resulting Context menu. Select the worksheet you want to rename (click on the
worksheet tab) and then select the Sheet option from the Format menu. This displays a submenu from
which you should select the Rename option.
8. How can we rename a worksheet in Spreadsheet?
Answer – You can rename a worksheet in three different ways, with the only difference being how
you begin the renaming process. You can choose from the following options:
Select one of the existing worksheet names with a double-click.
Right-click an existing worksheet name, then select Rename from the Context menu that appears.
Select the worksheet you want to rename (by clicking on the worksheet tab), then choose Sheet from
the Format menu. This brings up a submenu, from which you should choose Rename.

8. What is the advantage of sharing worksheet data?

Answer –
Enhance the speed of data entering
To facilitate collaboration, make things easy.

9. Explain features and use of Record changes.

Answer – Calc offers a feature that allows you to keep track of what data was modified, when it was
updated, who performed the modification, and which cell it happened in.
A coloured border appears around a cell where changes were made, with a dot in the upper left-hand
corner. Other reviewers will easily notice which cells have been changed. A strong coloured bar
indicates a deleted column or row.

10. What is the purpose of adding comments?

Answer – Comments from reviewers and authors can be added to explain their changes.
11. How can we add comments to the changes made?
Answer – To add a remark to a modification, use the following syntax:
Make the necessary changes to the spreadsheet.
2. Select the cell that has been changed.
3. Select Edit > Changes > Comments from the drop-down menu. The following dialogue box
appears. Calc’s automatically added comment displays in the title bar of this dialogue and is not
editable.
4. Click OK after typing your own comment.

12. Explain features of accepting or rejecting changes.

Answer – The beauty of the recording changes mechanism becomes apparent when you receive a
worksheet with changes. You can now go through each change like the original author and decide
how to proceed. To get started, do the following:
1. Open the worksheet that has been changed.
2. Select Edit > Changes > Accept or Reject from the drop-down menu. The dialogue box displayed
below will appear.
3. Calc goes through each modification one by one. As you go through the process, you can accept or
reject each adjustment. If you wish to, you can also pick Accept all and reject all.

13. What are Macros? How can we record a Macro?

Answer – When the same set of operations must be completed repeatedly, such as formatting or
applying a similar formula to a similar piece of data, macros can save time. It can be used to name
and track a sequence of events.
To record a macro, follow these steps:
All Rights Reserved @ Bhavans Middle East
1. Input data
2. Before performing any operation, go to tools->macro->record macro.
3. Now repeat the motion you just did.
4. Select “Stop Recording” from the drop-down menu. Now save the macro by giving it a name.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (SET 02)

Define and Explain the usage of the following terms with Reference to OpenOffice Calc.
(a) Consolidating data (b) Subtotals (c) Goal seek (d) Scenario (e) Solver
Answer:
(a) Consolidating data
Data Consolidation allows you to gather together your data from separate worksheets into a master
worksheet.
OR
The Data Consolidation function takes data from a series of worksheets or workbooks and
summarizes it into a single worksheet that you can update easily. Consolidate provides a graphical
interface for copying data from one range of cells to another, then running one of a dozen functions
on the data. During consolidation, the contents of cells from several sheets can be combined in one
place.
(b) Subtotals
SUBTOTAL: totals/add data arranged in an array—that is, a group of cells with labels for columns
and/or rows. Using the Subtotals dialog, you can select arrays, and then choose a statistical function
(sum, average, max, min) to apply to them. . For efficiency, one must choose up to three groups of
arrays to which to apply a function.
( c) Goal seek
Using the Goal Seek option under the Tools menu, you can discover what values will produce the
result that you want.
OR
Goal seeking is a general term used to describe the process involved in figuring out your input value
based on an already known output value. The process involves using a specific operator in a formula,
which can be calculated using computer software.
Example: Set Cell: It specifies the cell whose value will be changed to the desired value after the
result of the Goal Seek operation.
Example: Jack scored 25 out of 30 in English, 22 out of 30 in Maths. He wants to calculate the score
in IT he needs to achieve 85 percent in aggregate. So here goal is set and according to it Jack will find
one unknown variable IT marks.
(d) Scenario
Scenarios are a tool to test “what-if” questions. Each scenario is named, and can be edited and
formatted separately. When you print the spreadsheet, only the content of the currently active
scenario is printed. A scenario is essentially a saved set of cell values for your calculations. You can
easily switch between these sets using the Navigator or a drop-down list which can be shown beside
the changing cells.
For example, if you wanted to calculate the effect of different interest rates on an investment, you
could add a scenario for each interest rate, and quickly view the results. Formulas that rely on the
values changed by your scenario are updated when the scenario is opened. If all your sources of
income used scenarios, you could efficiently build a complex model of your possible income.
(e) Solver
The solver option under the Tools menu amounts to a more elaborate form of Goal Seek. The
difference is that the Solver deals with equations with multiple unknown variables. It is specifically
designed to minimize or maximize the result according to a set of rules that you define.
Each of these rules sets up whether an argument in the formula should be greater than, lesser than, or
equal to the value you enter.
For example, you can set the constraint that one of the variables or cells must not be bigger than
All Rights Reserved @ Bhavans Middle East
another variable, or no bigger than a given value. You can also define the constraint that one or more
variables must be integers (values without decimals), or binary values (where only 0 and 1 are
allowed). Once you have finished setting up the rules, you can adjust the argument and the results by
clicking the Solve button.

Explain how to create a reference to (a) Other worksheets within the same workbook (b)

What are the two ways of referencing cells in other worksheets?
Answer:
a) Other worksheets within the same workbook
1. Click on the = icon next to the formula bar.
2. Now, click on the sheet tab for the sheet containing the cell to be referenced. (eg. Sheet2)
3. Click on cell F3 (where the balance is) in sheet2. The phrase ‘Sheet2’.F3 should appear in the
formula bar. With the help of a keyboard, you have to type down the above formula in the formula
bar.
b) Worksheet of another workbook
Mouse:
1. Click the = icon next to the formula bar.
2. Switch to the other spreadsheet (the process to do this will vary depending on which
operating system you are using).
3. Select the sheet (Savings account or any) and then the reference cell (F3).
Keyboard:
Creating The Reference With The Keyboard

Referencing within the

Spreadsheet!
Typing the reference is simple once you know the format the reference takes. Thereference has three
parts to it:
• Path and file name
• Sheet name
• Cell
Looking at the figure above, you can see the general format for the reference is
=’file:///Path &File Name’#$SheetName.cell name.

Differentiate between relative and absolute hyperlinks.

Answer:
An absolute hyperlink will stop working only if the target is moved. A relative hyperlink will stop
working only if the source and target locations change relative to each other. Suppose, if you have
two spreadsheets in the same folder linked to each other and you move the entire folder to a new
location, a relative hyperlink will not break a link.

Explain features and use of Record changes.

Answer:
Calc has the feature to track what data was changed when the change was made, who made the
change, and in which cell the change has occurred.
A colored border, with a dot in the upper left-hand corner, appears around a cell where changes were
made. Other reviewers then quickly know which cells were edited. A deleted column or row is
marked by a heavy-colored bar.
Example: If you are the sponsor of a youth baseball team. The coach has submitted a budget to you
for the season and you need to edit the costs and return them to her. You are concerned that if you just
make the changes, then the coach won’t see the changes you made. You decide to use Calc with the
record changes feature turned on so that the coach can easily see the changes you have made.

What is the purpose of adding comments?

1) What do you mean by Data Consolidation?
Data consolidation is a process of collecting data from multiple sources into a single master
worksheet, while applying a specific function such as sum, average, count, max, min etc.

2) Write few benefits of Data Consolidation?

This feature allows us to collate the data with minimal efforts.
It is used to analyse data.

3) What do you mean by SUBTOTALS?

SUBTOTAL, totals/adds data arranged in an array—that is, a group of cells with labels for columns
and/or rows. It is available in Data Tab, using the Subtotals dialog, you can select arrays, and then
choose a statistical function such as Count, Min, Max etc. to be applied on arrays.

4) What are the advantages of using SUBTOTALS?

• While working with huge amounts of data, subtotals comes very handy for analysing data.
• It helps you to manage, analyse and extract specific information from rows of related data.
• It is basically used to get the summarised data.
• It is good in practice to use the sorted data while applying the Subtotals command to it.

5) What is outline in Electronic Spreadsheet?

When you use the subtotals feature in a worksheet, a hierarchy of groups appears; known as an
outline.

6) What do you mean by ‘WHAT-IF’ Analysis? What are its different tools?
What-If Analysis is the process of changing the value in cells to see how those changes will affect
the outcome of formulas on the worksheet.
Tools for What-if analysis
• Scenarios
• Goal Seek
• Solver
7) Explain different tools of What-if Analyses.
Scenario - A Scenario is a what-if tool. It analysis the data by putting different values. Different scenarios can
be saved with names and compared for decision-making.

Goal Seek - Goal Seek is also called back-solving is as what-if analysis tool. It helps you to obtain the input
value that results in a target value. Goal Seek reverses the usual order for a formula.
Goal seek can process only one input value at a time.

Solver - Solver is a what-if analysis tool. The solver tool is an advanced form of Goal Seek tool. Aim of
solver is to find the maximum or minimum result from a multiple unknown variable.
Solver deals with equations that have multiple unknown variables.
8) How Absolute link is different from relative link?
An absolute link will stop working only if the target is moved. A relative link will stop working only if the start
and target locations change relative to each other. For instance, if you have two spreadsheets in the same folder
linked to each other and you move the entire folder to a new location, a relative hyperlink will not break.
