An Introduction To The Basics In MS Excel Programming

By Dorothy Nelson


Excel first came to be on the thirtieth of September in nineteen eight five. It is a type of program created by Microsoft and was originally designed to function in the Windows operating system but has now been adjusted to function just as well in other platforms. It has plenty of functions, including tools for calculating numbers, pivot tables, and other functions for graphing purposes.

Due to its many functions and capabilities, thousands of people across the globe acknowledge its uses and the benefits of using it. Not only does it make certain tasks easier for them, it also promotes the convenience of having all the necessary tools in one application. Stated below is a short and simple introduction to MS Excel Programming for beginners.

Begin by turning on your personal computer and clicking it open via the shortcut in the desktop. If it is not there, simply open your program files folder and select it from there. Once it has loaded, use the new file button to create a new file that loads up to a new workbook.

Before anything else, familiarize yourself with all the different tabs you see at the top portion of your screen. This includes buttons that allow you to create new files, some options for saving, a review button that enables spotting some errors in formulas, and more. Click on some of these to get to know what kind of options you have for every single one. This way, you will know which ones to use when doing your work.

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.

You will notice three sheet types found below at the near bottom portion. These are the three default work sheets the program automatically gives you. However, there is an option on its right side that lets you add more, according to your preference or how much is needed.

Once you start working, consider adding a title for each cell. This makes it easier for you to identify the purpose for each one because you have labeled it properly. When you want to make changes with regard to its label, you are able to easily do so by clicking on it once more.

Once you start to make some real progress on your project, you have to learn how to save it properly. This is highly important and you should never forget to do so, or else you risk losing the progress you have done. Clicking on the save button will prompt you to choose which folder to save it to and gives you the opportunity to name it properly.

A useful tip when using it is to constantly save your progress. By doing so, you prevent the possibility of losing some important data you placed in. Furthermore, you can also turn on the auto save feature, in case it crashes or your computer malfunctions halfway through.
