RECAP FOR BEGINNERS

Thank you everyone for your feedback and ideas. I understand that each the average level of understanding of excel for users is beginners. I am doing a recap of whats done so far and in case have any questions put in your comments or mail me at vmani32@yahoo.co.in

• The best way to learn excel is to open a spreadsheet and do all sorts of experiments
• Opening a spreadsheet is simple Start-->Run-->Excel {Enter}
• Spreadsheet generally opens with 3 sheets (TABS). This can be changed in options
• Depending on the version of excel the number of rows and columns will vary.
• What you see in the sheet are tiny cells which can be formatted to your need and desire
• This gives extensive flexibility to excel and one can present reports in varied formats
• Excel also gives you the flexibility of store huge amount of data. However the file size gets huge and you need a good RAM to work
• You can learn the tricks of formatting from the previous posts by referring to the dummy report at this link https://www.yousendit.com/download/TTZtYnU4NDI5NVZMWEE9PQ
• This report will help a lot
• Excel reportin g is one of the best forms of reporting available which is cheap and does not invlove any major training
• Other systems like SQL, Access, Oracle etc need a lot of technical training. In future I will give you some hints on SQL. May be I can circulate some ebooks
• From the next post I will start sharing one formula every two days
• Please read all the previous posts carefully before going into formulae
