INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY QUESTIONS
NOVEMBER DECEMBER 2013
ICT LEVEL 3
SUBJECT: SPREADSHEET MANAGEMENT
SECTION A
Answer all questions.
Examples Of Ribbons In MS Excel
- Home: Contains commonly used commands for formatting, editing, and manipulating data.
- Insert: Provides commands for inserting objects such as charts, tables, and shapes into the worksheet.
- Formulas:Contains functions, formulas, and tools for working with calculations and data analysis.
- Page Layout:Includes commands for adjusting the page setup, printing options, and managing the appearance of the worksheet.
Steps for aligning text and numeric values in MS Excel
- Select the cell(s) containing the text or numeric values.
- In the Home tab on the ribbon, locate the Alignment group.
- Use the alignment options in the group to align the content.
- To align text horizontally, click the appropriate alignment buttons (left-align, center-align, right-align).
- To align text vertically, click the alignment buttons (top-align, middle-align, bottom-align).
- To align numeric values within a cell, use the Increase Indent or Decrease Indent buttons.
Filtering and sorting are both data manipulation techniques in MS Excel, but they serve different purposes:
- Filtering: Filtering allows you to display specific data based on certain criteria.
It hides rows that do not meet the specified criteria, allowing you to focus on relevant data.
Filtered data can be customized and sorted within the filtered range, but the original data remains unchanged.
- Sorting:arranges data in a specific order, such as alphabetical, numerical, or chronological.
It rearranges the entire dataset based on the selected column or columns.
Sorting can be done in ascending or descending order, and it permanently changes the order of the data.
The "IF function" in MS Excel is a logical function that allows you to perform conditional evaluations and return different results based on specified criteria.
the syntax:
=IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)
It is the basic unit where you enter and manipulate data. Each cell is uniquely identified by its column letter and row number.
For example,
cell A1 refers to the cell in the first column and first row of the worksheet.
Three commands in the Formula Auditing group under the Formulas ribbon in MS Excel are:
- Trace Precedents:This command displays arrows that trace the cells referenced by the active cell.
It helps identify the cells that are used as input or contribute to the formula in the active cell.
Clicking on "Trace Precedents" will show arrows pointing from the active cell to its referenced cells. - Trace Dependents:This command displays arrows that trace the cells that depend on the value of the active cell.
It helps identify the cells that are affected by changes in the value of the active cell.
Clicking on "Trace Dependents" will show arrows pointing from the active cell to the cells that depend on it. - Evaluate Formula:This command allows you to step through the evaluation of a formula, displaying the intermediate results at each step.
It is particularly useful for complex formulas to understand how the calculations are performed.
Clicking on "Evaluate Formula" opens the Evaluate Formula dialog box, where you can analyze the formula step by step.
Steps for removing gridlines from a worksheet are
- Open the worksheet in Excel.
- Go to the View tab on the ribbon.
- In the Show/Hide group, uncheck the "Gridlines" option.
- The gridlines will be hidden, providing a cleaner view of the worksheet.
To display the formula for an active cell in MS Excel, you can use one of the following methods:
- Press the Ctrl + ` (grave accent) shortcut key. This key is usually located to the left of the numeric 1 key on the keyboard.
- Alternatively, you can go to the Formulas tab on the ribbon and click on the "Show Formulas" button in the Formula Auditing group. This will toggle the display between the actual formula and the calculated value in the active cell.
