3. FINDING & REPLACING DATA:
Excel uses two types of cell references to create formulas. Each has its own purpose.Read on to determine which type of cell reference to use for your formula
Finding Data:
There might be times when youll need to find specific information in a large spreadsheet.For example, suppose you want to quickly find the row that deals with sales data in Region5 of your company. Instead of scanning each row for the data you need, which can betime-consuming, you can use Excels Find feature.
Open the Edit menu and choose Find. The Find and Replace dialog box opens with theFind tab displayed.
In the Find what text box, type the data you want to find.
Click the Find Next button.
Excel finds the first instance of the data you typed and makes the cell that contains itthe active cell. Click Find Next to search for the next instance, or Close to end.

2. Replacing Data:
Suppose you discover that you consistently misspelled a companys name in yourworksheet, or that a person you reference in several cells has gotten married and changedher name. Fortunately, Excel enables you to search for instances of incorrect or outdateddata and replace it with new data using its Find and Replace (Ctrl H) feature.
Open the Edit menu and choose Replace. The Find and Replace dialog box opens withthe Replace tab displayed.
In the Find what text box, type the data you would like to find. Press the Tab key tomove the cursor to the Replace with text box, and type the replacement data.
Click Replace All to replace all instances of the data you typed. (Or, click Find Next tofind the first instance of the data, and click Replace to replace it.)
Excel notifies you of the number of replacements it made; click OK. When youre doneusing the Find and Replace dialog box, click its Close button to close it.

4. REFERENCING:
Excel uses two types of cell references to create formulas. Each has its own purpose.Read on to determine which type of cell reference to use for your formula
1. Relative Cell Referencing:
This is the most widely used type of cell reference in formulas. Relative cell references arebasic cell references that adjust and change when copied or when using AutoFill
Example: The formula =AVERAGE(B5:C5), as shown below, changes to =Average(B6:C6)when copied to the next cell
2. Absolute Cell References:
Situations arise in which the cell references must remain the same when copied or whenusing AutoFill. The Dollar signs are used to hold a column and/or a row reference constant

Example: When multiplying the numbers in column A (i.e. 2, 3, 4 & 5) with the numberin cell B13 (i.e. 6), we need to keep the field B13 constant, we can use the formula=A14*$B$13
3. Mixed Cell Referencing:
A mixed reference is a mixture of an absolute & a relative reference. A mixed referencecan be absolute in column and relative in row or relative in column and absolute in row.
Example: To apply the formula of the values in column A to the Power of the values in therow 23 to all the cells (B24:D26), we can use the formula =POWER($A24, B$23) or
=($A24^B$23)
Summary of absolute/mixed cell reference:
$A1 Allows the row reference to change, but not the column reference
A$1 Allows the column reference to change, but not the row reference

$A$1 Allows neither the column nor the row reference to change
The shortcut key to choose between different types of cell reference is the F4 key
5. IF FUNCTION
The IF function will check the logical condition of a statement and return one value iftrue and a different value if false.
Syntax: =IF(Condition, ActionIfTrue, ActionIfFalse)
Example: Categorize the employees on the basis of their grade as Yes or No. Allemployees with grade A have to be categorized as Yes & all other employees haveto be categorized as NO
Formula: =IF(B4=A, YES, NO)

6. COUNTIF
This function counts the number of items which match criteria set by the user.
Syntax: =COUNTIF(RangeOfThingsToBeCounted, CriteriaToBeMatched)
Example: Find the number of values greater than 5
Formula: =COUNTIF($A$41:$J$50, >5)

7. TEXT FUNCTIONS
1. Transpose:
This function copies data from a range, and places in it in a new range, turning it so thatthe data originally in columns is now in rows, and the data originally in rows is in columns.
2. Text to Columns
The Convert Text to Columns Wizard is an easy way to separate simple cell content,such as first names and last names, into different columns.
Depending on your data, you can split the cell content based on a delimiter, such as aspace or comma, or based on a specific column break location within your data.
3. Trim
This function removes unwanted spaces from a piece of text.
The spaces before and after the text will be removed completely.
Multiple spaces within the text will be trimmed to a single spaceSyntax: =TRIM(TextToTrim)
4. Lower
This function converts all characters in a piece of text to lower case.
Syntax: =LOWER(TextToConvert)
5. Proper
This function converts the first letter of each word to uppercase, and all subsequent lettersare converted to lower case.
Syntax: =Proper(TextToConvert)

6. Upper
This function converts all characters in a piece of text to upper case.
Syntax: =UPPER(TextToConvert)
7. Concatenate
This function joins separate pieces of text into one item.
Syntax: =CONCATENATE(Text1,Text2,Text3...Text30)
8. Charts & Graphs
Tables, charts and graphs are convenient ways to clearly show your data. The easiest wayto create a graph is to enter your data into a spreadsheet program (Excel). Excel willgenerate graphs from the data you enter.
There are three basic graph forms. The line graph, the bar graph, and the circle (or pie)graph.
Line Graph: Showing change over time
Look for a key word such as "grow,""decline," or "trends." If, for example,you want to show how collegeentrance test scores have changedover 30 years, use a line chart. Linecharts are best when a variable has
more than four or five data points,and you want to emphasize continuityover several months or years. Theslope of the line tells viewers in aglance the direction of the trends.
Bar Graph: Comparing items at one point in time
Look for a key word such as "ranks" or"compares." If, for example, you want
to show the highest profit, the lowest

interest rate, or the most products sold, or you want to rank variables from largest tosmallest, use a horizontal bar chart.
Bar charts are often the best way to compare a set of individual items or several sets ofrelated items.
Pie Chart: Comparing parts of a whole
Look for key words such as "percentage," "portion" or "share." If, for example, you wantto show the proportion of stategovernment budget spent on education,use a pie chart. However, the number ofpie slices should not be more than five,and each slice should be easy to see andinterpret.
A pie chart is best when you want tohighlight one part of the whole. Place thiscomponent in the 12 o'clock position and"explode" it out of the pie for emphasis.

2. In a spreadsheet, a cell with an _________ reference does not change even if copied elsewhere.
4. A ______ reference can be absolute in column and relative in row or relative in column andabsolute in row.
5. Text or numbers can be rearranged vertically to horizontally or vice versa using this function.

9. VLOOKUP
Lookup tables are very useful functions in Excel. You can build a data table and performsimple lookups on it.
Syntax: =VLOOKUP(ItemToFind, RangeToLookIn, ColumnToPickFrom, SortedOrUnsorted)
Example: Write a Vlookup function to lookup for the phone numbers of all employeesbased on the EmpNo
Formula: =VLOOKUP(A14,$A$4:$D$8,4,0)

10. CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
Conditional Formatting (CF) is a tool that allows you to apply formats to a cell or range ofcells, and have that formatting change depending on the value of the cell or the value ofthe formula
For example: You can have a cell appear bold only when the value of the cell is greaterthan 100. When the value of the cell meets the format condition, the format selectedwould apply.
A cell can have up to 3 format conditions, each with its own formats.
Example: Highlight all values greater than 7
