Worksheet

intersect to form cells. A black border appears
around the active cell.
Columns and Rows
• A column in Excel is a vertical arrangement of

arrangement of data. There are 16,384
columns and 1,048,576 rows available in a
worksheet.

• To select a group of cells, be sure the mouse
pointer shows as the selection mouse pointer,
click in the first cell and drag through to the last
cell (first cell will show white and all others will
be shaded).
• To de-select cells, click once in any cell – there
will always be one cell active
• To select the entire worksheet, press Ctrl + A on
the keyboard or click the blank area to the left of
column A and just above row 1.

Selecting rows or columns
• To select one column (e.g. column A), click on the
A (above the cells) – the entire column shows
selected.
• To select one row (e.g. row 1), click on the 1 (to
the left of the cells) – the entire row is selected.

COUNTIF Counts the number of cells within a range that meet the given
criteria
SQRT Returns the positive square root of a given number

STATISTICAL FUNCTIONS
COUNT Counts how many numbers are in the list of arguments
COUNTBLANK Counts the number of blank cells within a range

LOGICAL FUNCTIONS
RULES OF LOGICAL FUNCTIONS
<= for less than or equal to
>= for greater than or equal to
= equal to
-= for not equal to

IF(logical_test, [value_if_true], [value_if_false])
• logical_test (Required)
Any value or expression that can be evaluated to
TRUE or FALSE. For example, A10=100 is a logical
expression; if the value in cell A10 is equal to
100, the expression evaluates to TRUE.

IF(logical_test, [value_if_true],
[value_if_false])
• value_if_true Optional. The value that you want to be
returned if the logical_test argument evaluates to
TRUE.
• For example, if the value of this argument is the text
string “QUALIFIED" and the logical_test argument
evaluates to TRUE, the IF function returns the text
"Within budget."
• If logical_test evaluates to TRUE and the value_if_true
argument is omitted (that is, there is only a comma
following the logical_test argument), the IF function
returns 0 (zero). To display the word TRUE, use the
logical value TRUE for the value_if_true argument.

EG.
• =IF(H2<22,“FAILED",“PASSED")
=IF(B2<25,"fail",IF(B2=25,"pass",IF(B2>25,"exc
el")))
