Objective:
Begin to see the possibilities of Excel
How to gather and organize dataEntering formula’sConvert data into graphs.
Instructions:We will be doing an overview of
your class population and some of the characteristics that define it.
How to read the cell locations
You will notice letters run from left to right, numbers from top to bottom.
Locating cellsWe have located cells D5 and
B11
How many Students?In cell B1 we need to enter in the
total number of students there are in the class
My example class has 14 students
What is everyone's age?In cells B4 through G4 enter in the
number of students that fit into each category.
For example I have two students that are 14 and three that are 15.
Checks and balanceAny good spreadsheet has a way to check yourself to
ensure your data is correct. If you look at the example below you will notice that I
only have data for twelve students, my total number was fourteen so I am missing data on two students.
To the right is a field that lets you know how many more students you need to enter data on.
Fun DataI thought you might be interested
to know how many years the whole class is old if we added everyone together and what the average age is.
GraphsGraphs are a great way for people to
understand data visually. Towards the bottom of the
spreadsheet I have created a graph for the ages of the class, which will now represent the data you entered.
Gender of the classNow we need to enter in how many males
and females are in your class
My example class has 6 males and 8 females
The Check is brokenThe formula for counting the number
of students entered in the males and females is missing
We need to enter the formula, the data for both is in cells B11 and C11 so we need to add them together
Double click in the cell I11 and enter in this formula =(B11+C11) and hit enter
Hair ColorLets enter the data for
everyone's hair color.Fill in cells B14 through F14
Another FormulaThe formula for counting the
students hair color is also missingWe need to add cells B14 through
F14Lets let the worksheet do the
workHit the home tab located at the
top left
Formula Cont…Click in the cell that we want the
formula in I14
Press the formula button, it’s located at the far right
Last stepsWhen you press the formula
button it tries to guess what you may want to add, you will find it guesses correctly most of the time.
It should look like this:
DoneWe are going to click in cell B14
and holding the left mouse button, highlight through cells F14
Now hit enter and it will add the cells together
School DataLast we will enter the data for the
High Schools represented in class.
Once the data has been entered highlight all of it, as shown:
