INTRODUCTION TO MS EXCEL
1.1 What is Excel ?

It is a spreadsheet program developed by Microsoft. Excel organizes data in columns and rows and allows you
to do mathematical functions. It runs on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.

The first version was released in 1985 and has gone through several changes over the years. However, the main
functionality mostly remains the same.

Excel is typically used for:

 Analysis
 Data entry
 Data management
 Accounting
 Budgeting
 Data analysis
 Visuals and graphs
 Programming
 Financial modeling

a. Features of MS Excel
 It is the most popular spreadsheet program in the world
 It is easy to learn and to get started.
 The skill ceiling is high, which means that you can do more advanced things as you become better
 It can be used with both work and in everyday life, such as to create a family budget
 It has a huge community support
 It is continuously supported by Microsoft
 Templates and frameworks can be reused by yourself and others, lowering creation costs.
 There are 10,48,576 no. of rows ( horizontal lines) and 16,384 no. of columns ( vertical lines ) present in
excel.

b. How to open MS Excel ?

To open MS Excel from the Start menu, select All Programs » Microsoft Office » Microsoft Office Excel

c. Spreadsheet Details

1. TitleBar: The title bar displays the name of the spreadsheet and application.

2. Toolbar: It displays all the options or commands available in Excel for use.

3. NameBox: It displays the address of the current or active cell.

4. Formula Bar: It is used to display the data entered by us in the active cell. Also, this bar is used to
apply formulas to the data of the spreadsheet.

5. Column Headings: Every excel spreadsheet contains 256 columns and each column present in the
spreadsheet is named by letters or a combination of letters.

6. Row Headings: Every excel spreadsheet contains 65,536 rows and each row present in the
spreadsheet is named by a number.

7. Cell: In a spreadsheet, everything like a numeric value, functions, expressions, etc., is recorded in the
cell. Or we can say that an intersection of rows and columns is known as a cell. Every cell has its own
name or address according to its column and rows and when the cursor is present on the first cell then
that cell is known as an active cell.

8. Cell referring: A cell reference, also known as a cell address, is a way for describing a cell on a
worksheet that combines a column letter and a row number. We can refer to any cell on the worksheet
using cell references (in excel formulae). As shown in the above image the cell in column A and row 1
7
is referred to as A1. Such notations can be used in any formula or to duplicate the value of one cell to
another (by using = A1).

9. Navigation buttons: A spreadsheet contains first, previous, next, and last navigation buttons.
These buttons are used to move from one worksheet to another workbook.

10.Sheet tabs: As we know that a workbook is a collection of worksheets. So this tab contains all the
worksheets present in the workbook, by default it contains three worksheets but you can add more
according to your requirement.

Advantages of MS Excel

1.Versatility: Excel allows users to perform various tasks like calculations, data analysis,
charting, and more within a single platform.

2. Ease of Use: Its user-friendly interface makes it accessible to users with varying levels of
expertise. Basic functions can be quickly learned and applied.

3. Data Analysis Tools: Excel provides powerful tools for data analysis, including formulas, functions,
pivot tables, and charts, aiding in insightful data interpretation.

4. Customization: Users can customize Excel through macros, add-ins, and personalized

functions to suit specific requirements, enhancing its functionality.

Disadvantages of MS Excel

1.Limited Data Handling: Excel has limitations in handling large datasets efficiently, leading
to performance issues and potential data loss or corruption.

2. Prone to Errors: Human errors, like incorrect formulas or data input, can occur, leading to
inaccurate results, especially in complex spreadsheets.

8
3. Lack of Security: Excel files may lack robust security features, making them vulnerable to
unauthorized access, data breaches, or accidental alterations.

4. Complexity in Complex Tasks: While it's user-friendly for basic tasks, performing complex
operations might require advanced knowledge of formulas, functions, and VBA programming.

Question:- How to open a new spreadsheet or workbook ?

To create a new spreadsheet follow the following steps:

Step 1: Click on the top-left, Microsoft office button and a drop-down menu appear.
Step 2: Now select New from the menu.
Step 3: After selecting the New option a New Workbook dialogue box will appear and then in Create tab,
click on the blank Document.

2. BASIC FUNCTIONS AND FORMULAES

2.1 LOGICAL FUNCTIONS

Logical functions are used to compare more than one condition or multiple conditions. It returns the result as
TRUE or FALSE by evaluating the arguments.These functions are used for calculating the result and help to
elect any one of the given data. Based on the

requirement, the contents in the cell are evaluated using the respective logical condition. Here in this tutorial,
the types of Logical Functions used are:

2.1.1 AND FUNCTION

The AND function tests single or multiple conditions. It returns the value true if all the values evaluate to true
and return false if any one of the value evaluates to false.

9
Syntax

=AND (logical 1, [logical 2]...)

Figure 1.

2.1.2 OR FUNCTION

The OR function returns the result as True if any arguments evaluate to true and return False if all the arguments
evaluate to False. It acts on multiple testing conditions. It is combined with AND function and IF condition
based on the requirement.

Syntax
1. =OR (logical 1, [logical 2],...)

Figure 2.

2.1.3 NOT FUNCTION

NOT is one of the logical functions which return the reversed logical value. An inbuilt function in Excel is used
along with the formula based on the requirement.

Syntax
10
1. =NOT (logical value)

Figure 3.

2.1.4 IF FUNCTION

The IF function checks whether a condition is met, and returns one value if true and another value if false.

2.1.4 “NESTED IF” Function

A nested IF function in Excel is a formula that contains multiple IF functions within it. The nested IF function
allows you to test multiple conditions and return different results depending on the outcome of each test.

11
Figure 4.

Figure 5.

2.2 STATISTICAL FUNCTION

2.2.1 AVERAGE FUNCTION

The AVERAGE() function focuses on calculating the average of the selected range of cell values.

12
Figure 6.

2.2.2 COUNT FUNCTION

The function COUNT() counts the total number of cells in a range that contains a number. It does not
include the cell, which is blank, and the ones that hold data in any other format apart from numeric.

Figure 7.

2.2.3 MIN FUNCTION

The MIN function will return the smallest numeric value within a given set of data or an array.

13
Figure 8.

2.2.3 MAX FUNCTION

The MAX function will return the largest numeric value within a given set of data or an array.

Figure 9.

2.3 SUM FUNCTION

The SUM() function, as the name suggests, gives the total of the selected range of cell values. It performs
the mathematical operation which is addition.

14
Figure 10.

2.4 PASTE SPECIAL


What is the use of Paste Special?

When you copy text that has different formatting into an Office program, the program, such as PowerPoint or
Word, automatically reformats that text to match the text of the destination. However, you can use Paste
Special to maintain the original formatting or paste it as a link or a picture.

Click the first cell in the area where you want to paste what you copied. On the Home tab, under Edit, click
Paste, and then click Paste Special. Paste all cell contents and formatting, including linked data. Paste only the
formulas as entered in the formula bar.

Figure 11.

15
2.5 ABSOLUTE AND REALATIVE REFERENCE:-

There are two types of cell references: relative and absolute. 1. Relative References 2. Absolute references
They behave differently when copied and filled to other cells.  Relative references change when a formula
is copied to another cell.  Absolute references, on the other hand, remain constant no matter where they are
copied

2.5.1 Absolute Reference

Figure 12.

2.5.2 Relative Reference

16
Figure 13.

3. BASIC COMMANDS

3.1.1 VLOOKUP FUNCTION

The VLOOKUP function is used when we have a set of vertical data. It allows us to search a range of data
references with columns, and retrieves the right information we are looking for.

Formula :-

=VLOOKUP(lookup value, range containing the lookup value, the column number in the range containing
the return value, Approximate match (TRUE) or Exact match (FALSE))

The arguments of the VLOOKUP formula are,

 lookup_value: The value for which we are trying to retrieve the result from
the table_array (2nd argument). It is a mandatory argument.
 table_array: It will be either range or table_array where we search for the lookup_value. It is a
mandatory argument.
 col_index_num: In a given table_array, it is the column we are looking for the result. It is a mandatory
argument.
 [range_lookup]: In this optional argument, we need to specify the kind of match we need:
o 0 or FALSE – It will search for the exact match of the lookup_value in the table_array. If
nothing is specified, 1 or TRUE will be the default mode.

17
o 1 or TRUE – It will search for the approximate match of the lookup_value in the table_array

Figure 14.

3.1.2 HLOOKUP
The HLOOKUP function is used when we have a set of horizontal data. It allows us to search a range of data
references with rows, and retrieves the right information we are looking for.
Formula:-
=HLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, row_index_num, [range_lookup])

The arguments of the HLOOKUP formula are,

 lookup_value: The value for which we are trying to retrieve the result from
the table_array (2nd argument). It is a mandatory argument.
 table_array: It will be either range or table_array where we search for the lookup_value. It is a
mandatory argument.
 row_index_num: In a given table_array, it isthe row we are looking for the result. It is a mandatory
argument.
 [range_lookup]: In this optional argument, we need to specify the kind of match we need:
o 0 or FALSE – It will search for the exact match of the lookup_value in the table_array. If nothing
is specified, 1 or TRUE will be the default mode.

18
o 1 or TRUE – It will search for the approximate match of the lookup_value in the table_array.

3.2 DATE AND TIME FUNCTION


3.2.1 DATE
DATE(year, month, day) returns a serial number of a date based on the year, month and day values that you
specify.

Figure 15.

3.2.2 TODAY
The TODAY() function returns today's date, exactly as its name suggests.

19
Figure 16.

3.2.3 NOW
NOW() function returns the current date and time. As well as TODAY, it does not have any arguments. If you
wish to display today's date and current time in your worksheet.

Figure 17.

4. ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

4.1 SHOPPING CART


Shopping Cart – Also sometimes called a basket, it's the listing of products your customers wants to buy at checkout. As
we have data on the field “Item” name, customers can now pick an item from the drop down. Soon as they
select an item, using Vlookup, the workbook identifies the corresponding Item description and per item price

20
from the “inventory”. This information is displayed on the “Shopping Cart”. When the field “Quantity” is
updated, the total price gets populated with correct values.

1. Enter the data.

Figure 17.

2. Multiply the two cells under QUANTITY and PRICE i.e. G3*H3 in the cell I3.

Figure 18.

21
Figure 19.
3. Now write the formula of Vlookup in the cell H4 under the Price.

Figure 20.
As now the Shopping Cart is ready to use .

22
Figure 21.

4.2DROP DOWN MENU


Drop-down list work more efficiently in worksheets by using drop-down lists in cells. Drop-downs allow people
to pick an item from a list that you create.

1. Select the cell in the worksheet where you want the drop-down list.
2. Go to the Data tab on the Ribbon, then Data Validation .
3. On the Settings tab, in the Allow box, click List .
4. Click in the Source box, then select your list range. We put ours on a sheet, in range C2:C5

Figure 22.
Now the drop down menu has added.

23
Figure 23.
Here is another example of creating drop down menu in which we are selecting the all the items listed in the
sheet.
1. Go to the Data> Data Validation
2. Select Data Validation then Data Validation Dialog box will appear.
3. Now go to the settings in the appeared dialog box and select OPTION- “LIST” in Allow.
4. Then select the cells (A2:A23) in the SOURCE option
5. Then Click OK.

Figure 24.

24
6. Now the dialog box appeared as shown in this figure.

Figure 25.

4.3 DATA VALIDATION

Data validation in Excel is a technique that restricts user input in a worksheet. It is often used to limit user entry.
Settings Tab The
settings tab is where you enter the validation criteria. There are eight options available to validate for user input:

 Any Value - It removes any existing data validation.


 Whole Number - It allows only whole numbers. For example, you can specify that the user must enter the
number between 0 to 30.
 Decimal - The user must enter a number with decimal values.
 List - The user will have to create a drop-down list to choose from.
 Date - The user will have to enter the date format.
 Time - The user should enter a time.
 Text Length - It validates input based on the length of the data.
 Custom - It validates the user input using a custom formula.

25
Figure 25.

 Check the 'show input message when the cell is selected'.


 Enter a title.
 Enter an Input message.

Now, when you try to enter the value beyond the range, you will get an error message.

Now that we are familiar with the basic concepts, let’s look at a step-by-step process to implement data
validation in excel.

 How to Validate Data in Excel?

Step 1 - Select The Cell For Validation


Select the cell you want to validate. Go to the Data tab > Data tools, and click on the Data Validation button.
26
A data validation dialogue box will appear having 3 tabs - Settings, Input Message, and Error Alerts.

Figure 26.

Step 2 - Specify Validation Criteria


On the settings tab, specify your validation criteria.

Figure 27.

Step 3 - Under Allow, Select The Criteria


Under Allow, select an option from Whole Number, Decimal, List, Date, Time, Text Length, and Custom.

27
Figure 28.

Step 4 - Select Condition


Under Data, select a condition and set required values based on what you choose for Allow and Data.

Figure 29.

Step 5 - Click Ok
Click OK. Now, if you try entering a value outside the specified range (10, 50), it will result in an error.

4.4 SCENARIO MANAGER

A Scenario is a set of values that Excel saves and can substitute automatically on your worksheet. You can
create and save different groups of values as scenarios and then switch between these scenarios to view the
different results.

If several people have specific information that you want to use in scenarios, you can collect the information in
separate workbooks, and then merge the scenarios from the different workbooks into one.

28
After you have all the scenarios you need, you can create a scenario summary report that
incorporates information from all the scenarios.

Scenarios are managed with the Scenario Manager wizard from the What-If Analysis group on the Data tab.

1. Assume that your worst case budget scenario is Gross Revenue of 50,000 and Costs of Goods Sold of 13,200,
leaving 36,800 in Gross Profit. To define this set of values as a scenario, you first enter the values in a
worksheet, as shown in the following illustration:
2. You then use the Scenario Manager dialog to save these values as a scenario. Goto the Data tab > What-If
Analysis > Scenario Manager > Add.

Figure 30.

3. In the Scenario name dialog, name the scenario Worst , and specify that cells B2 and B3 are the values that
change between scenarios.

29
4.7 DATA FILTERING

Use filters to temporarily hide some of the data in a table, so you can focus on the data you want to see.

Filter a range of data

1. Select any cell within the range.


2. Select Data > Filter.

Figure 31.

3. Select the column header arrow .

Figure 32.

5.DATA TABLE
5.1 PIVOT TABLE
Pivot tables are among the most useful and powerful features in Excel. We use them in summarizing the data
stored in a table. They organize and rearrange statistics (or "pivot") to
draw attention to the valuable facts.

Create Pivot Table


For creating pivot table , you need to follow the following steps:

Figure 37.
Step 1. Put your data in unique columns. This is the most important steps as if your data is not in correct manner
you will nit get the desired results .

Figure 38.

35
Step 2. Insert a pivot table: Go to the "Insert" tab in the Excel ribbon and click on the "PivotTable" button. This
will open the "Create PivotTable" dialog box.

Figure 39.

Srep 3. Choose your data source: In the dialog box, Excel will automatically detect the range of your selected
data. Ensure that the correct range is displayed under "Select a table or range."

Click ok. Then it will create a pivot table worksheet.

36
Figure 40.
Here are some questions related to the data given above–

Question 1.- How many items were sold by each company in a year

Figure 41.

Question 2- show the average discount percentage per sales person.apply the external filter that will show
only Sales made in Columbia . sort the result in ascending order . who is the best sales agent?

5.2 PIVOT CHART
Pivot chart in excel is an in-built program tool that helps you summarize selected rows and columns of data in a
spreadsheet. The visual representation of a PivotTable or any tabular data helps summarize and analyze the
datasets, patterns, and trends.

Figure 44.
In the above image , you can see the pivot chart which is made from the data in the pivot table
Here , we have only selected country and item column and only 6 countries are choosen to be shown in the
graph.

1. BARS AND CHARTS


In Microsoft Excel, charts are used to make a graphical representation of any set of data. A chart is a visual
representation of data, in which the data is represented by symbols such as bars in a bar chart or lines in a line
chart. A vertical bar graph in Excel is a separate chart type, known as a column bar chart. Along with pie charts,
bar graphs are one of the most commonly used chart types. They are simple to make and easy to understand.
Excel provides you different types of charts that suit your purpose. Based on the type of data, you can create a
chart. You can also change the chart type later.

39
Excel offers the following major chart types −
 Column Chart
 Line Chart
 Pie Chart
 Doughnut Chart
 Bar Chart
 Area Chart
 XY (Scatter) Chart
 Bubble Chart
 Stock Chart
 Surface Chart
 Radar Chart
 Combo Chart

We can find the Charts group under the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
