11
Creating first document
1. A blank document, which looks like a white sheet of paper and takes up most of
the window.
2. In the document, look for the cursor, which tells you where the content you type
will appear on the page.
12
The blue line indicates a contextual spelling error.
A contextual spelling error is when an incorrect spelling of a word is chosen. For
example, if you write Deer Mr. Singh at the beginning of a letter, deer is a
contextual spelling error because dear should have been used. Deer is spelled
correctly, but it is used incorrectly in this letter.
13
You can make most changes to text from the Font group, but formatting text this
way is handy when you want to change the format of just a few characters or
words.
However, there’s a way to make all the changes we just did with just one
command, by using styles.
The Paragraph and Styles groups, on the Home tab.
When you choose a margin, the icon for the margin you chose gets a different
colour background.
If you click the Margins button again, that background colour tells you which
margin size has been set for your document.
The first margin in the list is Normal, the current margin.
To get narrower margins, you would click Narrow.
If you want the left and right margins to be much wider, click Wide.
When you click the margin type that you want, your entire
document automatically changes to the margin type you selected.
When you choose a margin, the icon for the margin you chose gets a different
colour background.
If you click the Margins button again, that background colour tells you which
margin size has been set for your document.
Word inserts a paragraph mark each time you press ENTER to start a new
paragraph.
In the picture, there are two paragraph marks between the two paragraphs, which
means that ENTER was pressed twice.
This creates extra space between paragraphs.
16
Move the cursor to the end of the paragraph, where you want the sentence to
appear (after the dot formatting mark).
On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Paste.
Undo
You’ve moved the sentence, but now that you look at it, you’re not happy with
the change.
Fortunately, you don’t have to go through the entire cut-and-paste process again
to move the sentence back to its original place.
Instead, use Undo.
On the Quick Access Toolbar at the very top of the window, click
the Undo button.
This will undo the last action you took, which in this case was pasting the
sentence in the new location.
Click the Undo button again to undo the previous action, which in this case was
cutting the sentence from its original location.
Now your sentence is back in its original location.
17

89
What is Average Function?
AVERAGE function in Ms-Excel is categorized under Excel Statistical functions.
It will calculate the average value of a given series of numbers in Excel.
Arithmetic mean of a given set of arguments in Excel is calculated with average
function.
Formula
=AVERAGE(number1, [number2], …)
How to use AVERAGE Function in Excel?
To understand the uses of the AVERAGE function, let us consider below example:
Suppose following data is given:
To find out the top 3 scores in the above data set. The formula to use will be:
90
More About Functions
• In Excel functions are pre -defined formulas.
• Functions differ from regular formulas in that, after the equal sign, user supply
the cell addresses but not the arithmetic operators.
• Functions can be used to perform simple or complex calculations.
• Functions perform calculations by using specific values, called arguments, in a
particular order called syntax.
Use an equal sign to begin the function.
Specify the function name.
Enclose all of the function’s arguments within parentheses.
Use a comma to separate the function’s individual arguments.
Common functions
Let's look at some of the most commonly used functions in ms excel formulas.
91
Numeric Functions
String Function
92
Date Time Functions
These functions are used to manipulate date values. The following table shows some of
the common date functions.
What is VLOOKUP?
The VLOOKUP function is one of the most popular functions in Excel.
The VLOOKUP function performs a vertical lookup by searching for a value in
the first column of a table and returning the value in the same row in the index
number position.
The VLOOKUP function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as
a Lookup/Reference Function. It can be used as a worksheet function (WS) in
Excel.
The syntax for the VLOOKUP function in Microsoft Excel is:
VLOOKUP(value, table, index_number, [approximate_match] )
Parameters or Arguments
1. Value: The value to search for in the first column of the table.
2. Table: Two or more columns of data that is sorted in ascending order.
3. index number: The column number in table from which the matching value must
be returned. The first column is 1
4. approximate match: Optional. Enter FALSE to find an exact match. Enter TRUE
to find an approximate match. If this parameter is omitted, TRUE is the default.
93
1. First Parameter
The first parameter in the VLOOKUP function is the value to search for in the table
of data.
In this example, the first parameter is 10251. This is the value that the VLOOKUP
will search for in the first column of the table of data because it is a numeric value,
user can just enter the number.
But if the search value was text, user would need to put it in double quotes.
2. Second Parameter
94
The second parameter in the VLOOKUP function is the table or the source of data
where the vertical lookup should be performed.
In this example, the second parameter is A1:B6 which gives two columns to data
to use in the vertical lookup - A1:A6 and B1:B6.
The first column in the range (A1:A6) is used to search for the Order value of
10251. The second column in the range (B1:B6) contains the value to return which
is the Product value.
3. Third Parameter
The third parameter is the position number in the table where the return data can
be found. A value of 1 indicates the first column in the table. The second column
is 2, and so on.
In this example, the third parameter is 2. This means that the second column in
the table is where we will find the value to return.
Since the table range is set to A1:B6, the return value will be in the second
column somewhere in the range B1:B6.
4. Fourth Parameter
95
Finally, and most importantly is the fourth or last parameter in the VLOOKUP.
This parameter determines whether users looking for an exact match or
approximate match.
96
In “Data Table, there are the values, and in “Result Table,” user has only Employee
Name, so based on this, we need to fetch other details like “DOJ, Dept, and Salary.”
To fetch DOJ, open the VLOOKUP function in the G3 cell.
The first argument is Lookup Value, so our lookup value is Employee Name, so
select F3 cell.
97
Once user has selected the Table Array, make it an absolute reference by
pressing the F4 key.
Next up is the col index num, so from the table array selection column number
will be 2nd column, so mention the same.
Next is Range Lookup. We have two options, i.e., TRUE or FALSE. Since we
need an exact match to give the criteria as FALSE or 0
Ok, now it’s done. Close the bracket and hit the enter key to get the result.
98
User has got DOJ, copy the formula and paste to the next cell. This time user need not
apply the formula again. User just needs to change the column index number from 2
to 3.
Similarly, for the “Salary” column, change the column number to 4.
99
Adding or deleting a column can mess up user’s data because VLOOKUP uses
the column number when it formulates its answer.
The error which we get is #N/A error.
Sparkline in Excel is a small graph which is used to represent a series of data. Sparkline
fits into a single cell, apart from a well-fledged chart. It is an instant chart that prepares
for a range of values. Three different data visualizations available in Excel Sparkline are:
1. Line
2. Column
3. Win/Loss
From the Insert menu, select the type of Sparkline you want. It offers three types of
Sparklines in Excel.
1. Line Sparkline: Line Sparkline in Excel will be in the form of lines, and high values
will indicate fluctuations in height difference.
2. Column Sparkline: Column Sparkline in Excel will be in the form of column chart
or bar chart. Each bar shows each value.
3. Win/Loss Sparkline: It is mainly used to show negative values like ups and downs
on the floated costs.
100
How to insert Sparklines in Excel?
Consider the following demo data: Status of some pending stock for different years is
below. To make a quick analysis, let's make a Sparkline for each year.
Step 1) Select the next column to 'June' and insert Sparkline from insert menu. Select
anyone from the three types of Sparkline.
Step 2) A selection window will appear to select the range of cells for which the
Sparkline should insert.
By clicking the arrow near data range box, a range of cells can be chosen.
101
Step 3) Select the first row of the data for the year 2011 in 'Data Range' text box. The
range will show as B2: G2
Step 4) Another range selection indicates where you want to insert the Sparkline. Give
the address of the cell you need the Sparkline.
Step 5) Once you set the 'Data Range' and 'Location Range' press 'OK' button.
102
Step 6) Now Sparkline is created for the selected data, and it gets inserted in the
selected cell H3.

user’s data. Use conditional formatting to find and highlight duplicate data.
That way you can review the duplicates and decide if user wants to remove them.
1. Select the cells you want to check for duplicates.
2. Click Home > Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Duplicate
Values.
3. In the box next to values with, pick the formatting you want to apply to the
duplicate values, and then click OK.

the columns where you want to remove the duplicates.
107
Click on OK option.
Syntax
The syntax for the IF function in Microsoft Excel is:
IF ( condition, value_if_true, [value_if_false] )
Parameters or Arguments
Condition : The value that you want to test.
value_if_true : It is the value that is returned if condition evaluates to TRUE.
value_if_falseOptional: It is the value that is returned if condition evaluates to
FALSE.
Returns
The IF function returns value_if_true when the condition is TRUE.
The IF function returns value_if_false when the condition is FALSE.
The IF function returns FALSE if the value_if_false parameter is omitted and the
condition is FALSE.
When using the IF function to construct a test, we can use the following logical
operators:
108
= (equal to)
> (greater than)
>= (greater than or equal to)
< (less than)
<= (less than or equal to)
<> (not equal to)
109
Example 2. Using IF with OR function in Excel
The OR Function is return true if atleast one value is true the condition is met.
So, if we modify the above formula in the following way:
=IF((OR(C2>=20, D2>=30)), "Pass", "Fail")
110
Consider the above figure
User can nest more IF functions if user want to. For example:
=IF(E2>=70, "Excellent", IF(E2>=60, "Good", IF(E2>40, "Satisfactory",
"Poor ")))
1. Select the cells user want to chart, including the column titles and row labels.
These cells will be the source data for the chart. In this example, selected cells are
