Objectifs :
This document aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamental features and functionalities of Microsoft Excel, guiding beginners through the initial steps of creating and formatting a worksheet for tracking expenses.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Excel
The best way to learn about Excel is to start using it. When you open Excel for the first time, you are presented with options to open an existing workbook or start with a template. For beginners, it is advisable to select 'Blank Workbook' to keep things simple. -
Understanding the Excel Interface
Upon opening a blank workbook, you will see the worksheet area where you can create your content. The tools you need are located in the 'Ribbon' at the top of the screen. Key components include the Name Box and the Formula Bar, which will be explained further as you progress. -
Working with Cells
In Excel, the individual rectangles are called 'cells,' and each cell can hold a piece of information such as text, numbers, or formulas. For example, to create a worksheet for tracking expenses, you can type the first budget item into a cell and press 'Enter.' Each cell is identified by a grid system of rows and columns, such as C6, which refers to column C and row 6. -
Entering and Formatting Data
To continue building your worksheet, type in additional budget items. If the text does not fit within the cell, you can adjust the column width by hovering over the column border and dragging it to widen. Next, you can add rough estimates for each work item in the adjacent column. To format these numbers as dollar amounts, select the numbers, right-click to open the mini toolbar, and click the dollar sign. -
Adding a Header Row
To enhance the clarity of your worksheet, add a header row at the top. This will help anyone reviewing the worksheet understand the data presented. -
Using Quick Analysis Tools
To make data management easier, select the header and data, then use the quick analysis lens that appears when you hover over the selection. Click on 'Tables' and then 'Table' to convert your data into a table format. This allows for easier sorting and filtering of data, as well as additional commands for managing your table. -
Exploring the Ribbon and Contextual Tabs
The Ribbon organizes commands and options into tabs. Most commonly used commands are found on the 'Home' tab, while the 'Insert' tab contains options for adding elements like pictures and charts. Contextual tabs, such as the 'Table Tools Design' tab, appear only when you are working with specific elements like tables. -
Saving Your Workbook
As you work on your worksheet, it is important to save your workbook regularly. This ensures that your progress is not lost and allows you to continue building your project in Excel.
