These can range from simple formulae through to complex functions and mathematical models. How To Use This Guide This manual should be used as a point of reference following attendance of the introductory level Excel 2007 training course. It covers all the topics taught and aims to act as a support aid for any tasks carried out by the user after the course. The manual is divided into sections, each section covering an aspect of the introductory course. The table of contents lists the page numbers of each section and the table of figures indicates the pages containing tables and diagrams. Objectives Sections begin with a list of objectives each with its own check box so that you can mark off those topics that you are familiar with following the training. Instructions Those who have already used a spreadsheet before may not need to read explanations on what each command does, but would rather skip straight to the instructions to find out how to do it. Look out for the arrow icon which precedes a list of instructions. Appendices The Appendices list the Ribbons mentioned within the manual with a breakdown of their functions and tables of shortcut keys. Keyboard Keys are referred to throughout the manual in the following way: [ENTER] – Denotes the return or enter key, [DELETE] – denotes the Delete key and so on. Where a command requires two keys to be pressed, the manual displays this as follows: [CTRL] + [P] – this means press the letter “p” while holding down the Control key. Commands When a command is referred to in the manual, the following distinctions have been made: Download free ebooks at bookboon.com 6 Excel 2007 Advanced: Part I Introduction When Ribbon commands are referred to, the manual will refer you to the Ribbon – E.g. “Choose HOME from the Ribbons and then B for bold”. When dialog box options are referred to, the following style has been used for the text – “In the PAGE RANGE section of the PRINT dialog, click the CURRENT PAGE option” Dialog box buttons are shaded and boxed – “Click OK to close the PRINT dialog and launch the print.” Notes Within each section, any items that need further explanation or extra attention devoted to them are denoted by shading. For example: “Excel will not let you close a file that you have not already saved changes to without prompting you to save.” Tips At the end of each section there is a page for you to make notes on and a “Useful Information” heading where you will find tips and tricks relating to the topics described within the section.

For example, B6 is a range reference; B6:B10 is also a range reference. A problem with this sort of reference is that it is not always easy to remember what cells to reference. It may be necessary to write down the range, or select it, which often means wasting time scrolling around the spreadsheet. Instead, Excel offers the chance to name ranges on the spreadsheet, and to use these names to select cells, refer to them in formulae or use them in Database, Chart or Macro commands. Defining Names There are a number of ways to set up names on a spreadsheet. A common way is to use the Insert, Name, Define menu. In the example, there is a range of sales figures that could be named “1st_Qtr”; ➢ To name cells: Mouse i) Select the cells you wish to name. ii) Click the DEFINE NAME button on the in the DEFINED NAMES GROUP on the FORMULAS Ribbon iii) The NEW NAME dialog box appears iv) To name the cells, simply type a name in the NAME box and choose OK.

Names can be up to 255 characters in length, must start with a letter and cannot include spaces. Names are not case sensitive. In the example, these cells would be called “1st_Qtr”. From now on, any reference to the range C6:C10 can be made with the name “1st_Qtr”; Notice that the name box, on the left-hand side of the formula bar now displays the name “1st_Qtr”; It will do so whenever cells C6:C10 are selected; Download free ebooks at bookboon.com 10
