Comparing 4 scenarios

1) Saving $10/ month with no interest

2) Saving $100/month with no interest

3) Saving $10/month with 5% annual interest

4) Saving $100/month with 5% annual interest

Formulas for each scenario

1- Add 10 to previous month

More Steps- Set up first month

• In the first month- put either 10 or 100 for each scenario

VIEW>FORMULA BAR - turns on the formula bar

More Steps- Inserting the formula

6) Click the cell for the second month

7) Click calculator button on formula bar

This lets you build the formula

Create the formula by adding 10 to the value in the previous month’s cell

Last Step

• Copy the formula from month 2 into all of the cells up to month 480

Making a Multiplication table

• Today you are going to make a multiplication table using Excel.

• The multiplication table is a good example of how information can be stored and formatted in Excel.

What other types of cells are there?

• Cell phone

• Cell in you body

• Prison cell

Prison Cell Analogy

• Prisoner goes inside cell, data goes inside cell.

• There are different kinds of prisoners that go inside cells, there are different kinds of data that goes into cells, text, numbers, formulas.

Prison Cell Analogy

• Prison cell is part of a “cell block”, spreadsheet cell is determined by row and column.

• Prison cell walls (usually cement blocks) can be painted and so can the bars

• Spreadsheet cell can be filled with color (shading) and can have color on the edge (border)

Formatting Cells

Select Cells you want to format

1) Apple-1

2) FORMAT>CELLS

3) Formatting Palette- Shading and Borders section

4) Toolbars

Quick review

Copy and Paste

• To make your life easier, Excel does have copy and paste.

• You need to know what you are trying to copy, do you want to copy the value in the cell or the format of the cell?

• Paste Special

• Formatting Painter

Spreadsheet Assignment
