A Short And Simple Introduction To MS Excel Programming

By Dorothy Nelson


Initially, excel was first released to the public thirty one years ago and continues to be widely accepted and used at present situations. It was the software company Microsoft that came up with the idea and conducted the necessary work into fully developing it into a functioning software. This is available in numerous platforms, including iOS, Windows, Android, and Mac.

Through this, men and women are able to create spreadsheets and format them in any way they want. Furthermore, compiling them into workbooks and building models for data analysis has been made much more convenient and easier. Discover the basic functions of MS Excel Programming, which you can find in the following paragraphs below.

After you turn on your laptop or personal computer, look for the shortcut on your desktop to open it. If not, you will find it in a folder in your computer called program files. After it loads up on your screen, create a new file by clicking on the appropriately named button on the upper left hand portion of the screen.

Familiarize yourself with all the features first before diving head first into your task or assignment. Upon loading, you will realize there are numerous buttons and features available. Do not let this overwhelm you because you will eventually master all these functions after a few weeks of frequent usage. Explore each tab by hovering the mouse over it and observing what kind of changes each one brings.

This program makes use of a different language or jargon that you need to familiarize yourself with. This will make it easier when in the process of learning it. For instance, an individual rectangle in the worksheet that you may select and type some data in is called a cell. Also, take note that the rows are indicated by numbers, while the columns are indicated by a letter in alphabetical order.

When working, you will have three worksheets available by default and each one can be used according to your preference. You may also rename each one for better reference and sheet one is the default that opens up. The software lets you create as many sheets as you need and you can easily do so by clicking the add button found below.

Following this logic, each cell will also likely have an appropriate label. Click the rename button so you can give it a name, to make it easier for you to tell apart one from the other. In case there is a need to rename it for editing purposes, the program also allows you to do this without any complications.

At this point, you will need to learn how to save your file. You can do this by clicking the office button, or clicking file and then selecting the appropriate option. This will allow you to choose the destination folder where it will be stored, as well as the name you want to give it.

When using this program, always remember to save constantly. This prevents you from losing progress, especially when the power suddenly turns off or the software crashes. A useful keyboard shortcut is combining the control button with the S one.
