Microsoft Office Tip —Office Online Training

Like a sheet of graph paper, an Excel spreadsheet is divided into rows and columns that intersect to create cells. Columns are labeled alphabetically (A, B, C...); rows are labeled numerically (1, 2, 3...). Both alpha and numeric data can be entered into the cells. Numeric data can be calculated, charted, or graphed.

 

In cell A3, enter the word Expenses. In cells A5 to Ax enter expense categories, such as mortgage or rent, phone, food, and entertainment. Adjacent to the expense categories, in cells B5 to Bx, enter projected expenses. In the cell below Bx (if x equals 25, this would be B26), enter the formula to total your expenses: =SUM(B2:B25) or click on the AutoSum symbol (Greek letter E) in the toolbar and hit Enter. Now the magic begins. Change any number in cells B2 to Bx and watch your expense total change.

 

Locking columns and rows If you want to freeze a row of titles or categories so that you can keep them in sight as you enter data further down your spreadsheet, Microsoft Excel has a handy Freeze Panes function.  To lock a pane, use your mouse to select the row below or the column to the right of where you want to freeze. On the Window menu, click Freeze Panes
