Charts and Graphs in MS Excel

By following these steps you can add a chart/graph in your MS Excel

Instructions

    • 1
      Type "Month" in cell A1, and type the months January through June in cell A2 through A7. In cell B1, type "Applications." For each month, increase the "Applications" by 100. In cell B2, type "100," in cell B3 type "200" and so on. The last month in the "Month" column should be in cell A7 and the last figure in the "Applications" column should be in cell B7.
    • 2
      Place the cursor on a cell in the "Month" and "Applications" data table. If the cursor is not on an item in the table, the chart will not know where to access the data. Press the "Insert" tab. Click the down arrow under the "Column" option in the "Charts" panel.
    • 3
      Click "Bar" from the "Charts" section, and then select the first column chart option under "3-D Bar." To change the bar graph to a pie chart, right-click the graph itself and select "Change Chart Type." Click "Pie" in the "Change Chart Type" dialog box and select the first option under the "Pie" row, then press "OK."
    • 4
      Click the border of the chart and drag it to the desired location. You can change the size of the chart by grabbing a border of the chart and dragging it.

Macros in MS Excel

An Excel macro is a recording of each command and action performed to complete a task. Macros are recorded in Visual Basic, a programming language.
  • Macros can be run by custom buttons on the toolbar, the menu bar, from a shape, from another macro or from a triggered event.

Conditional Formulas in MS Excel

Create conditional formulas


Testing whether conditions are true or false and making logical comparisons between expressions are common to many tasks. You can use the AND, OR, NOT, and IF function to create conditional formulas.
The IF function uses the following arguments.
Formula with the IF function
Formula with the IF function
Callout 1 logical_test: The condition that you want to check.
Callout 2 value_if_true: The value to return if the condition is true.
Callout 3 value_if_false: The value to return if the condition is false.


Microsoft Excel

|main topic for the 3rd quarter...|


=> is a spreadsheet application developed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications. It has been a very widely applied spreadsheet for these platforms, especially since version 5 in 1993, and it has replaced Lotus 1-2-3 as the industry standard for spreadsheets. Excel forms part of Microsoft Office.

Protocol

Sir Tom taught us all about Protocols. Here is some of the things he taught us.



In information technology, a protocol is the special set of rules that end points in a telecommunication connection use when they communicate. Protocols specify interactions between the communicating entities. 
Protocols exist at several levels in a telecommunication connection. For example, there are protocols for the data interchange at the hardware device level and protocols for data interchange at the application program level. In the standard model known as Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), there are one or more protocols at each layer in the telecommunication exchange that both ends of the exchange must recognize and observe. Protocols are often described in an industry or international standard.
The TCP/IP  Internet protocols, a common example, consist of:
  • Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which uses a set of rules to exchange messages with other Internet points at the information packet level
  • Internet Protocol (IP), which uses a set of rules to send and receive messages at the Internet address level
  • Additional protocols that include the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP), each with defined sets of rules to use with corresponding programs elsewhere on the Internet
There are many other Internet protocols, such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
The word protocol comes from the Greek protocollon, meaning a leaf of paper glued to a manuscript volume that describes the contents.
