Using Formulas to Perform Calculation Order of Operation
In the previous chapter, we learnt about different components of the Excel window, such as cell,
row, column, formula bar, workbook, and worksheet. We also learnt the process of creating a
workbook, entering data into a worksheet, and saving a workbook. In this chapter, we will learn
more about MS Excel.
i + SELECTING CELLS IN A WORKSHEET
Apart from entering data into a worksheet, Excel also provides the facility to perform various
other operations with data, such as modifying, inserting, moving/copying, and deleting. To
perform all these operations, we first need to select the cell that contains the data. Excel allows
us to select a single cell or a group of cells.
• Single Cell: Click on the cell to select it.
• Group of Cells or Range: Click on the first cell from where you want to start the selection
and drag the mouse diagonally up to the cell where you want to make the selection. We can
also select a range of cells by using the Shift key. Click on the first cell and then press and
hold the Shift key down, and click on the last cell up to which we want to make the selection.
• Entire Row/Column: Click on the row heading to select the entire row, or click on the column
heading to select the entire column.
• Entire Worksheet: Click on the Select All button located below the Name box to select the
entire worksheet. The shortcut key to select the entire worksheet is Ctrl + A.
