  • Recall how to create visual aids and collaboration

Microsoft Excel® 2016 Module 1
Working with Ranges

In Excel, a range is a group of two or more cells that work together rather than separately.  The range is the basic function that makes Excel a powerful tool, and it is discussed in this module. We start by learning how to fill a range with values, move or copy them, and insert or delete them.  After that we discuss range names and how to use them.  We conclude by discussing how to format fonts, colors, alignments, numbers, column widths, row heights, and other range options.
Selecting and Populating Ranges

  • Moving, Inserting, and Deleting Ranges and Cells
  • Merging Two or More Cells
  • Using Touch Gestures
  • Using and Defining Range Names
  • Navigate the Workbook

Formulas, Worksheets, and Workbooks

Once a range is populated and formatted, it’s time to do something with that data.  In this module we discuss how to build formulas and incorporate Excel worksheet functions into your formulas.  We move on to discuss how to manipulate the worksheet, which is where you spend most time in Excel, then you will learn how worksheets and workbooks go together. We conclude by discussing how to format the look and feel of workbooks.

Using and Analyzing Data

Once you have your workbooks and worksheets created, it’s time to do something useful with your new tools.  In this module we first discuss how to import data into your worksheets to create useful information.  Next you will learn how to create printed copies of this information to share with others, and then we discuss how Excel is used to store and use non-numeric information in tables.  We conclude by discussing how to use Excel to analyze your captured information.
