Review Notes from Previous Lecture and Feedback:

Reviewed Quiz (Q-1-1) Shared Grade Performances Parameters of the Class (average, max, min, etc.)

Past Quiz Answers (review and discuss as needed). Will see some of these questions or similar ones again. Learn it and master the materials!

Reviewed file naming (Save as ) conventions for workbooks in Excel “filename.xlsx” is typical format. What are other extensions? other file extensions used for other file types in Excel such as templates

“filename.xlt” and macro-enabled workbooks “filename.xlsm” many other exist for Excel and other Software Applications (pdf, doc and docx,

ppt, pptx. txt, htm and html are also file extentions. Software Compatibility (backward and forward compatibility)

1. Knowing extension is critical for the successful transfer or movement of files (sharing, sending and receiving data and files!!!

2. Need to know and understand the basic ones!3. Need to know the data may change due to compatibility conflicts in

the various software releases or defaults settings, etc.

Software Compatibility

Software versions are important information –

Older document versions are typically forward compatible. Another way to state is the earlier versions (e.g 1.0 and 2.0 ) can be used to read and import into later versions like 4.0 or year designation like Office 2010.

Backward Compatibility is not the industry normal for commercial software. Why?? For example files created by the use in an Office 2013 application do not automatically import or open in Office 2010 Application Programs.

Additional steps needed to ensure compatibility Need to use save as : backward compatible version to ensure

interoperability and compatibility.

Software Compatibility

Excel workbook = xlsx file extension for Office 2010 Macros – xlxm file extension for macro enabled workbooks Web page = htm for the entire workbook/ publish / as interactive

(eg calculating vs static data display) or just a section of a worksheet ( $A$1:$F$12 work area dimension defined) and change title of document to publish or post on website (rename feature)

Template = XLT file extension Excel 4.0 and before = xls (single worksheets) This is before the

Excel workbook feature. Binary = xlsb file extension
