Most Importaint Features of Excel
• Add Header and Footer: MS Excel allows us to keep the header and footer in our
spreadsheet document.
• Find and Replace Command: MS Excel allows us to find the needed data (text and
numbers) in the workbook and also replace the existing data with a new one.
5
• Password Protection: It allows the user to protect their workbooks by using a password
from unauthorized access to their information.
• Data Filtering: Filtering is a quick and easy way to find and work with a subset of data in
a range. A filtered range displays only the rows that meet the criteria you specify for a
column. MS Excel provides two commands for filtering ranges: AutoFilter; which includes
filter by selection, for simple criteria. Advanced Filter; for more complex criteria
• Data Sorting: Data sorting is the process of arranging data in some logical order. MS
Excel allows us to sort data either in ascending or descending order.
• Built-in formulae: MS Excel has got many built-in formulae for sum, average, minimum,
etc. We can use those formulae as per our needs.
• Create different charts (Pivot Table Report): MS Excel allows us to create different
charts such as bar graph, pie- charts, line graphs, etc. This helps us to analyze and
compare data very easily.
• Automatically edits the result: MS Excel automatically edits the result if any changes
are made in any of the cells.
• Formula Auditing: Using formula auditing we can graphically display or trace the
relationships between cells and formulas with blue arrows. We can trace the precedents
(the cells that provide data to a specific cell) or the dependents (the cells that depend on
the value in a specific cell).
• Easy To Store Data: Since there is no limit to the amount of information that can be
saved in a spreadsheet, MS Excel is widely used to save data or to analyse data.
Filtering information in Excel is easy and convenient.
• Easy To Recover Data: If the information is written on a piece of paper, finding it may
take longer, however, this is not the case with excel spreadsheets. Finding and
recovering data is easy.
• Application of Mathematical Formulas: Doing calculations has become easier and
less time-taking with the formulas option in MS excel
• More Secure: These spreadsheets can be password secured in a laptop or personal
computer and the probability of losing them is way lesser in comparison to data written in
registers or piece of paper.
• Data at One Place: Earlier, data was to be kept in different files and registers when the
paperwork was done. Now, this has become convenient as more than one worksheet
can be added in a single MS Excel file.
• Neater and Clearer Visibility of Information: When the data is saved in the form of a
table, analysing it becomes easier. Thus, information is a spreadsheet that is more
readable and understandable.

How to Auto Copy Sheet 1 Data in Sheet 2 in Excel
The main use of this concept is if you add some data in sheet 1 it automatically updates in sheet 2.
Here we discuss bout this in detail. To reference a cell or range of cells in another worksheet in the
same workbook, put the worksheet name followed by an exclamation mark (!) before the cell
address.
In other words, in an Excel reference to another worksheet, you use the following format.
Reference to an individual cell:
Syntax
Sheet_name!Cell_address
75
we can see in this example: refer cell B1 of sheet 1 in Sheet2, we need to type type Sheet2!B1
Syntax for Reference to a range of cells

Syntax
Sheet_name!First_cell:Last_cell
Example to Reference to a range of cells

Syntax
Sheet_name!First_cell:Last_cell
For example, to refer to cells A1:A15 in Sheet2, you type Sheet2!A1:A15.
Note: If the worksheet name includes spaces or non-alphabetical characters, you must enclose it
in single quotation marks. For example, an external reference to cell A1 in a worksheet named
Monthly Statement should read as follows: 'Monthly Statement'!A1.
How to reference another workbook in Excel
In Microsoft Excel formulas, external references to another workbook are displayed in two ways,
depending on whether the source workbook is open or closed.
External reference to an open workbook
When the source workbook is open, an Excel external reference includes the workbook name in
square brackets (including the file extension), followed by the sheet name, exclamation point (!),
and the referenced cell or a range of cells. In other words, you use the following reference format
for an open workbook reference
Syntax
[Workbook_name]Sheet_name!Cell_address
For example, here's an external reference to cells B2:B5 on sheet Jan in the workbook named
Sales.xlsx:
Syntax
[Sales.xlsx]Jan!B2:B5
If you want, say, to calculate the sum of those cells, the formula with the workbook reference would
look as follows:
76
Syntax
=SUM([Sales.xlsx]Jan!B2:B5)
External reference to a closed workbook
When you reference another workbook in Excel, that other workbook does not necessarily need to
be open. If the source workbook is closed, you must add the entire path to your external reference.
For example, to add up cells B2:B5 in the Jan sheet from Sales.xlsx workbook that resides within
the Reports folder on drive D, you write the following formula:
Syntax
=SUM(D:\Reports\[Sales.xlsx]Jan!B2:B5)
Pivot Table in Excel
A pivot table is essentially a dynamic summary report generated from a database. The database
can reside in a worksheet (in the form of a table) or in an external data file. In other words A pivot
table is a program tool that allows you to reorganize and summarize selected columns and rows of
data in a spreadsheet or database table to obtain a desired report.
Where we get Pivot Table

condition. Vlookup function is mainly used for two purpose, to find an exact match and to find the
closest match.

78

• value - The value to look for in the first column of a table.
• table - The table from which to retrieve a value.
• col_index - The column in the table from which to retrieve a value.
• range_lookup - [optional] TRUE = approximate match (default). FALSE = exact match.
Find an Exact Match Using Vlookup
In some cases we want exact match value
Vlookup Exact Syntax
=VLOOKUP(H4,B5:E9,2,FALSE) // FALSE = exact match
Find an Closest Match Using Vlookup

Vlookup Closest Match Syntax
=VLOOKUP(C5,$G$5:$H$10,2,TRUE) // TRUE = approximate match
