Excel Basics
• Worksheet organization
• Entering and formatting data
• Copy, etc., autofill
• Simple math ( +, –, *, /, ^, autosum )– Cell entry starts with =– Relative copy for math operations
• “autosum” button:
![Page 23: EGR 105 Foundations of Engineering I Fall 2007 – Week 2 Excel part 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a18ff1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Built-in Functions in Excel
• Syntax: – Entry always starts with an equal sign (=)– Next is the name of the function followed by
parentheses containing parameters or values to be operated on (arguments)
– Examples: = SUM ( A10:C20 )
= SQRT ( B17 )
• Many types available
![Page 24: EGR 105 Foundations of Engineering I Fall 2007 – Week 2 Excel part 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a18ff1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Some work on single arguments, some on groups of arguments, some on none
• Composition of functions works: = SQRT ( SUM ( A10:B17 ) )
• How to invoke:– Know the name of the function
– Function wizard button: f x
