Concepts learned this week

Hi there! We are Joaquín Ozores and Francisco Gálvez and we are going to talk about the concepts learned this week using Excel. Excel can be a difficult program to use, but we are writing this post to help you to manage this extremely useful program called Excel. Here´s a quick description of what Excel is: Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications. Excel forms part of Microsoft Office. So, after this description let´s begin explaining the concepts learned this weeek.

What is a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet is a file made of rows and columns that help sort data,arrange data easily,and calculate numerical data.What makes a spreadsheet software unique is its ability to calculate values using mathematical formulas and the data in cells.Below is a basic example about a microsoft excel spreadsheet looks like,as well as all the important features of a spreadsheet highlighted.

How to do simple calculations?

Formulas are expressions that are used to perform calculations or processing of values,producing a new value  that will be assingned to the cell in which the formula is entered.

Now that you know what a formula is, we can now proceed to the functions. A Function is a predefined Formula that performs calculations using specific values in a particular order. One of the main advantages is that they save time because you do not need to write it yourself. You have to write, fore example, if you want to add the cells A1 and B1 you have to write in the cell you want the result to go =SUM(A1;B1).
