B. INSTRUCTION OR DELIVERY OF THE LESSON:


In computer terminology, data is defined as a collection of raw facts and figures. Data can be text,
numbers, images, and other forms of data that are not yet organized into a meaningful form. Data are processed
to create useful information.
In Excel, data is categorized as text and values.
Text - data can be a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. They are used for labeling values
and representing data that are not used in computations.
Values – are data that can be used in computations. Can be numbers, date or time.
Numbers – can be a combination of the digits through 0 to 9 and the symbols period, plus, and minus. Other
symbols can be added to numbers to indicate a specified number format.
Date – is a particular day, month, or year that represents an event.
Time – represents data for hours, minutes, and seconds.
In Excel, both date and time are stored and interpreted as numeric values. For these reasons, computation
can also be done on date and time. Values ca be entered directly on the cell or can be derived from formulas and
functions.

LESSON 2.1. ENTERING TEXT


Text is used for adding headings, labels, or comments on your worksheet. It is also used for data that will
not be used for computation. It can be entered by typing the combination of characters into a cell. To enter text,
we can type the text directly into the cell.

Practice 1: Perform the following actions to enter text into a cell.


1. Click on the cell.
2. Type the text (refer to page 271 of your textbook). Notice that as you enter data on the cell, Excel
displays the data on the Formula bar at the same time.
3. Do one of the following actions:
a. Press the Enter key for Excel to accept data and move the cell pointer to next cell on the same
column.
b. Press the Tab key for Excel to accept data and to move the cell pointer to the next cell on the same
row.
c. Press Ctrl + Enter for Excel to accept the data without moving the cell pointer.
d. Press Esc to cancel the entered data on the cell.

LESSON 2.2. ENTERING VALUES


Value is an Excel data type that represents numbers, dates, or time values. Similar to text, you can type
the values directly into the cell or you can use the Formula bar so that you can enter and edit the value at the
same time.

To enter value using the Formula bar:


1. Click on the cell.

COMPUTER 7 Page 8 of 19
ronaldsss1988@gmail.com
ARMY’S ANGELS INTEGRATED SCHOOL INC.
Blk. 24 Lots 2,3,4 & 5 Salazar St. Central Signal Village, Taguig City

2. Click the Formula bar.


3. Type the value that you want to enter.
4. Press the Enter key.

Numbers are values used to represent amount, quantity, score, and other forms of data that can be
computed. Numbers can be entered in the same way you enter text. They can be represented in different
formats.

The following list provides helpful hints when entering numbers:


 Excel ignores leading plus sings (+).
 Excel treats a period as a decimal point.
 When entering negative numbers, precede the number with a minus sign (-), or enclose the number in
parentheses ().
 When entering fractions, type the digit o, followed by a space, and then the fraction. For example, type 0
½ to input ½.
 By default, all numbers are right aligned in the cell.
 Excel stores numbers up to 15 significant digits. If a number contains more than 15 significant digits,
Excel converts the extra digits to zeros (0) and displays the number in exponential form. For example,
2.75E+10.
 Excel stores and represents date and time as numeric values, but Excel will not display date and time
values the same way you input it. Instead, it will be formatted according to Excels default format or
previously used format.

LESSON 2.3. USING AUTOFILL


AutoFill is an Excel feature that allows you to automatically input a series of data.
AutoFill - is applied by dragging the fill handle.
Fill handle - is a small box located at the lower right corner of the active cell.
Data Series – is a list that can contain copies of the data, numeric and alphanumeric data that increment at
specific intervals, and predefined list. AutoFill can also be applied to formulas and functions.

C. PRACTICE/ DEVELOPING MASTERY:

A. MOTIVATION/PRE-ASSESSMENT:
Find all the command and tools you can
find in the puzzle. Write your answer in
the box below.

B. INSTRUCTION OR DELIVERY OF THE LESSON:


In the previous lesson, you were introduced to the steps in editing the contents of the cells. By editing the
contents of the cell, you will be able to correct erroneous data, change portion of the data, move or copy data to
another location on the worksheet or workbook, erase unrelated data, and replace outdated data. In addition to

COMPUTER 7 Page 11 of 19
ronaldsss1988@gmail.com
ARMY’S ANGELS INTEGRATED SCHOOL INC.
Blk. 24 Lots 2,3,4 & 5 Salazar St. Central Signal Village, Taguig City

editing the content of the cell, you can also adjust the position of data on the worksheet to make the data more
presentable and readable.
This lesson features the techniques in editing the content and structure of the worksheet. These techniques
include adjusting the column width and row height; inserting cells, columns, and rows; deleting cells, columns
and rows; and removing cell and its contents.

LESSON 3.1. SELECTING CELLS


The first step in performing any editing techniques is creating a selection. In Excel, a selection is created
by highlighting a cell or a group of cells. Selections are created through the use of the white cross pointer. The
white cross pointer appears whenever you place the mouse pointer at the middle of the cell. The simplest
technique in creating a selection is done by clicking and dragging the mouse over an area on the worksheet.
Table 3.2 lists the different techniques in creating a selection. (Refer to pp. 285-288 of your textbook).

LESSON 3.2. CHANGING THE WORKSHEET STRUCTURE


When presenting information through the use of a worksheet, it is important that the data is accurate,
readable, and organized. In the previous lesson, you learned how to input data into the worksheet. When
entering data, you might have noticed that some data do not fit into the width of the cell. Id the data is larger than
the width and height of the cell, MS Excel responds by doing one of the following actions.

Figure: Excel methods of handling long data:


a. Displays a series of hash (#) symbols inside the cell
b. Cuts off the data
c. Lets the data run outside the column
d. Converts the data into a different number format
e. Cuts portion of data when row is short

LESSON 3.3. ADJUSTING COLUMN WIDTH


The simplest methods for adjusting the column width are done by dragging the left edge of a column
header and by double-clicking the left edge of the column header. Dragging the left edge of the column
header allows you to adjust the column width to any size, while double-clicking the left edge of the column
header will adjust the column width to the size that can fit the longest data in the column.

Aside from the techniques illustrated above, the column can be adjusted through the use of the options of
the Format command. The Format command is located on the Cells group of the Home tab.

To adjust the column width:


1. Select the columns that you want to be adjust.
2. Click the Home tab.
3. On the Cells group, click the Format control.

4. Do one of the following actions:


a. Select Column Width, specify a column width on the Column Width dialog, and the click the OK button
to close the dialog.
b. Select Autofit Column Width to adjust the column width to fit the longest data on the column.

LESSON 3.4. ADJUSTING ROW HEIGHT


Similar to column widths, the row heights can also be resized. By default, Excel automatically adjusts the
row height as you type the data. The rows are adjusted based on the size of the font you are using. Adjusting
the row height is commonly used to add space in between each row to make the data more readable.

To adjust the row height:


1. Click the row or highlight the rows that you want to adjust.
2. Adjust the row height using the following options:
a. Row heading
 Place the mouse pointer at the bottom edge of the row heading.
 Drag or double click the border or the row heading. The drag mouse action allows you to
adjust the row height to any size, while the double-click mouse action allows you to adjust the
row height to fit the tallest data in the row.
b. Row Height dialog
 Click the Home tab.
 On the Cells group, click the Format control.
 Select the Row Height command.
 On the Row Height dialog, specify the value for the height.
 Click OK when done.
c. AutoFit Row Height command
 Click the Home tab.
 On the Cells group, click the Format control.
 Select AutoFit Row Height from the list.

LESSON 3.5. INSERTING CELLS, COLUMNS, and ROWS


When organizing data in the worksheet, it is sometimes necessary to insert blank rows and columns in
between the rows and columns containing your data. By inserting a blank row or column, you will be able to
insert data in between the existing columns or rows of data. Inserting black row or column will help you group
data that are related to each other. There are instances as well when you need to insert new data into existing
range. This can be done by inserting blank cells in between the current data.
Practice:
To insert a column:
1. Select the column(s). The number of highlighted rows indicates the number of blank rows that will be
inserted.
2. Click the Home tab.
3. On the Cells group, click the Insert command.
4. Select Insert Sheet Columns from the list. This action will insert new columns at the left of the current
selection.
To insert a row:
1. Select the row(s).
2. Click the Home tab.
3. On the Cells group, click the Insert command.
4. Select Insert Sheet Columns from the list. The new rows will be inserted on top of the current selection.
To insert a cell:
1. Select the cell(s).
2. Click the Home tab.
3. On the Cells group, click the Insert.
4. Select Insert Cells from the list. This action will display the Insert dialog.

B. INSTRUCTION OR DELIVERY OF THE LESSON:


Excel is an electronic spreadsheet whose primary purpose is to perform calculation. Calculations in Excel
are done through the use of formulas and functions. A formula is an equation that calculates the value of data to
be displayed. A formula contains two components: operations and operands. Operators are symbols that
represent the type of calculations to be applied to the operand, while operands are values or cell references to be
calculated.

LESSON 4.1. OPERATORS


In Excel, operators are classified as arithmetic, comparison, text and reference. Arithmetic operators used
to perform basic mathematical operations. The table below lists the characteristics of each type of arithmetic
operators.

Operators Symbol Description Example


Addition + Adds two or more values C1 + C2
Subtraction - Subtracts two values B10 – B9
Multiplication * Multiplies two values D2 * E1
Exponentiation ^ Raise the value of a given data value A1 ^ 3
to the power of another number
Division / Divides two value B2 / 5

Comparison Operators, also known as relational operators, are used to compare one value with another
value. The result of a formula containing comparison operators is either TRUE or FALSE. (Refer to page 304 of
your textbook for the lists of comparison operator).

The ampersand (&) is the only text operator. This operator is used to concatenate a string of characters to
another string of characters. The reference operators are used to combine two or more cell references. (Refer to
page 304 of your textbook for the lists of reference operator).

LESSON 4.2. ENTERING A FORMULA


There are two ways to enter formulas into the worksheet. Formulas can be entered by typing the operands
and operators on the Formula bar or by applying the point and click method. These techniques are illustrated by
the formula that computers for the sum of two numbers.

To use the Formula bar to input the formula that computers for the sum f the values contained in A3 and B3 and
to display the result in C3:
1. Select the cell where you want to display the answer of the formula. In this case, click on cell C3.
2. Click on the Formula bar.
3. Type the formula preceded by an equal symbol.
4. Press the Enter Tab or Ctrl + Enter key.

LESSON 4.3. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE


The order of precedence refers to the sequence in which the operators are evaluated. The table below
describes the hierarchy of operators.

Order Operator
1 Parenthesis
2 Exponentiation
3 Division and Multiplication
4 Addition and Subtraction

Practice 1: Perform the following tasks:


1. Illustrate the hierarchy of operations of the following equations:
4 ^ 9 – 20 + (15*1)
4 * 8 – 13 * 2 / 8 ^ (2*0)
2. Evaluate the equations based on the order of precedence.

LESSON 4.4. WHAT ARE FUNCTIONS?


Functions - are predefined formulas that perform calculations by using arguments arranged in a particular order
or structure.
Argument – can be a value or a cell reference.
=SUM (A1 : A5, 23, B2, C3: C4)
Function name Arguments

LESSON 4.5. ENTERING A FUNCTION


Functions, just like formulas, can be entered by typing the function and its arguments on the Formula bar
or by applying the point and click method.
The Formulas tab contains a library of functions that can be inserted into the worksheet. There are two
ways in inserting a function into the worksheet. Functions can be inserted by clicking on the Insert Function
button, or clicking a formula category and selecting an option from the category.
To use the Insert Function button refer to pp.309-315 of your textbook.

LESSON 4.6. COMMONLY USED FUNCTIONS


Excel contains a vast library of functions. These functions are organized into several categories. These
functions are Sum, Average, Max, Min, and Count. These functions are organized under the AutoSum
command.

Function Description
SUM The function used to add values contained in the arguments
AVERAGE The function that computes for the sum of values in the arguments and then
divides the sum by the number of values
MAX The function that returns the highest value in the list of arguments
MIN The function that returns the lowest value in the list or arguments
COUNT The function that returns the number of cells containing values

C. PRACTICE/ DEVELOPING MASTERY:
