Basic tasks in Excel

Excel is an incredibly powerful tool for getting meaning out of vast amounts of data. But it also works really well for simple calculations and tracking almost any kind of information. The key for unlocking all that potential is the grid of cells. Cells can contain numbers, text, or formulas. You put data in your cells and group them in rows and columns. That allows you to add up your data, sort and filter it, put it in tables, and build great-looking charts. Let’s go through the basic steps to get you started.

Create a new workbook

Excel documents are called workbooks. Each workbook has sheets, typically called spreadsheets. You can add as many sheets as you want to a workbook, or you can create new workbooks to keep your data separate.

Click File , and then click New .

Under New , click the Blank workbook .

New blank workbook

Enter your data

Click an empty cell.

For example, cell A1 on a new sheet. Cells are referenced by their location in the row and column on the sheet, so cell A1 is in the first row of column A.

Type text or a number in the cell.

Press Enter or Tab to move to the next cell.

Apply cell borders

Select the cell or range of cells that you want to add a border to.

On the Home tab, in the Font group, click the arrow next to Borders, and then click the border style that you want.

For more information, see Apply or remove cell borders on a worksheet  .

Apply cell shading

Select the cell or range of cells that you want to apply cell shading to.

For more information about how to apply formatting to a worksheet, see Format a worksheet .

Use AutoSum to add your data

When you’ve entered numbers in your sheet, you might want to add them up. A fast way to do that is by using AutoSum.

Select the cell to the right or below the numbers you want to add.

Click the Home tab, and then click AutoSum in the Editing group.

AutoSum on the Home tab

AutoSum adds up the numbers and shows the result in the cell you selected.

For more information, see Use AutoSum to sum numbers

Create a simple formula

Adding numbers is just one of the things you can do, but Excel can do other math as well. Try some simple formulas to add, subtract, multiply, or divide your numbers.

Pick a cell, and then type an equal sign (=).

That tells Excel that this cell will contain a formula.

Type a combination of numbers and calculation operators, like the plus sign (+) for addition, the minus sign (-) for subtraction, the asterisk (*) for multiplication, or the forward slash (/) for division.

For example, enter =2+4 , =4-2 , =2*4 , or =4/2 .

Press Enter.

This runs the calculation.

You can also press Ctrl+Enter if you want the cursor to stay on the active cell.

For more information, see Create a simple formula .

Apply a number format

To distinguish between different types of numbers, add a format, like currency, percentages, or dates.

Select the cells that have numbers you want to format.

Click the Home tab, and then click the arrow in the General box.

Format Number box on the Home tab

Pick a number format.

Number format gallery

If you don’t see the number format you’re looking for, click More Number Formats . For more information, see Available number formats .

Put your data in a table

A simple way to access Excel’s power is to put your data in a table. That lets you quickly filter or sort your data.

Select your data by clicking the first cell and dragging to the last cell in your data.

To use the keyboard, hold down Shift while you press the arrow keys to select your data.

Quick Analysis button

Click Tables , move your cursor to the Table button to preview your data, and then click the Table button.

Quick Analysis Tables gallery

To filter the data, clear the Select All check box, and then select the data you want to show in your table.

Select All box in the Sort and Filter gallery

To sort the data, click Sort A to Z or Sort Z to A .

Sorting commands in the Sort and Filter gallery

For more information, see Create or delete an Excel table

Show totals for your numbers using Quick Analysis

The Quick Analysis tool (available in Excel 2016 and Excel 2013 only) let you total your numbers quickly. Whether it’s a sum, average, or count you want, Excel shows the calculation results right below or next to your numbers.

Select the cells that contain numbers you want to add or count.

Click Totals , move your cursor across the buttons to see the calculation results for your data, and then click the button to apply the totals.

Quick Analysis Totals gallery

Add meaning to your data using Quick Analysis

Conditional formatting or sparklines can highlight your most important data or show data trends. Use the Quick Analysis tool (available in Excel 2016 and Excel 2013 only) for a Live Preview to try it out.

Select the data you want to examine more closely.

button image

Explore the options on the Formatting and Sparklines tabs to see how they affect your data.

Quick Analysis Formatting gallery

For example, pick a color scale in the Formatting gallery to differentiate high, medium, and low temperatures.

Data with a color scale conditional format

When you like what you see, click that option.

Learn more about how to analyze trends in data using sparklines .

Show your data in a chart using Quick Analysis

The Quick Analysis tool (available in Excel 2016 and Excel 2013 only) recommends the right chart for your data and gives you a visual presentation in just a few clicks.

Select the cells that contain the data you want to show in a chart.

Click the Charts tab, move across the recommended charts to see which one looks best for your data, and then click the one that you want.

Quick Analysis Charts gallery

Note:  Excel shows different charts in this gallery, depending on what’s recommended for your data.

Learn about other ways to create a chart .

Sort your data

To quickly sort your data

Select a range of data, such as A1:L5 (multiple rows and columns) or C1:C80 (a single column). The range can include titles that you created to identify columns or rows.

Select a single cell in the column on which you want to sort.

To sort by specific criteria

Select a single cell anywhere in the range that you want to sort.

On the Data tab, in the Sort & Filter group, choose Sort .

The Sort dialog box appears.

In the Sort by list, select the first column on which you want to sort.

In the Sort On list, select either Values , Cell Color , Font Color , or Cell Icon .

In the Order list, select the order that you want to apply to the sort operation — alphabetically or numerically ascending or descending (that is, A to Z or Z to A for text or lower to higher or higher to lower for numbers).

For more information about how to sort data, see Sort data in a range or table  .

Filter your data

Select the data that you want to filter.

On the Data tab, in the Sort & Filter group, click Filter .

The Sort and Filter group on the Data tab

To select by values, in the list, clear the (Select All) check box. This removes the check marks from all the check boxes. Then, select only the values you want to see, and click OK to see the results.

Click Print .

Activate and use an add-in

On the File tab, choose Options , and then choose the Add-Ins category.

Near the bottom of the Excel Options dialog box, make sure that Excel Add-ins is selected in the Manage box, and then click Go .

In the Add-Ins dialog box, select the check boxes the add-ins that you want to use, and then click OK .

If Excel displays a message that states it can't run this add-in and prompts you to install it, click Yes to install the add-ins.

For more information about how to use add-ins, see Add or remove add-ins .

You can protect cells, worksheets, and workbooks in Excel with a password (or without one). Once a worksheet is protected, you’ll need to enter the password to access it (in case a password has been applied).

Note that Excel in-built security feature is not very strong and you can easily open worksheets/workbooks that have been locked. However, if you want to quickly protect it before sending it to your manager/client (so they don’t end up changing anything by mistake), it works well.

  • Lock cells in Excel

In this video, I will give you a quick introduction to  Excel macros  and the  VB Editor  in Excel.

By recording a macro in Excel, you can easily automate a lot of tasks. And the best part is that you don’t need to know any coding or VBA to do this. When you record a macro, Excel simply follows whatever you do in the workbook and create a code for it. Now you can run this code and Excel will automatically follow all the steps you showed it.

If you’re a VBA beginner, recording a macro and understanding the code using it can be a great way to learn.

This video lesson covers the following  VBA topics :

Hi and thank you for all the content. I had a question regarding the countifs function. I had the quiz question how many times does the number 3 appear between the integers 300-400. I know the answer is 120 after looking into it further I was wondering if there’s a way to get to this answer using countifs, if so how? I thought it would look something like this =countifs(b1:b100, “3**”, b1:b100, “*3*”, b1:b100, “**3”) but clearly have it wrong.

I’m interested to do this course

I see lot of people asking for a pat in the back ( like looking for a certificate of completion ), this is a SELF-HELP course, and I am not sure I will have as much information given to me even if I attended a PAID COURSE.

And again, since I am learning this on my own to improve MY understanding of spreadsheet program, I can understand and appreciate why some persons want to squeeze a CERTIFICATE out of this as a ticket for a future job.

Mr. Bansal, Pranam to you, as a teacher who put in all this time into these video courses and offering it for free. I bow to you for your kind heart.

Goddess Saraswathi has blessed you, may her blessings be showered upon you into the future, so we all get at least a part of those blessings.

Your teaching style is really passionate, your way of explanation is very clear and you obviously deserve a load of respect and appreciation. It helps me a lot in better understanding excel, and also motivates me to dive deeper into further learning.

Excellent. Explanation is brilliant.

Thanks very much for tutorials, I like to know if there is a way to make just a cell behave as a normal calculator. i.e this cell should be capable of summing figures that appears in another cell, while keeping last cumulative figure visible. This other cell will be the key-in cell or active cell. Example: Cell 1: =2*5, Answer appears in Cell 2, Cell 1: =3*6.8, Answer is added to the previous value resulting from (2*5) and still appears in cell 2. Kindly share a video if this is possible. Thank you.

Excellent Course. Really useful. Thanks!

I have searched online and came across your youtube video tutorial on how to count color using function and macro module programing in excel. I am traying to count the highlighted cell that contains a specific numbers inside of the cell highlighted in color using your code. Can you help me to verify the changes that I have to make to count and add the cell value instead of adding “TotalCount = TotalCount +1” use “TotalCount = TotalCount + “Cell value”” ? What should I change to add the values inside of the cell instead of 1? Your or anyone’s help is deeply appreciated.

Hey! in lesson4, almost at the start of the video, you select a group of cells and address them together with the help of a colon, and as you type the no. 1, it appears in every cell. when I do the same, it isn’t happening. why?

highlight the cells you want to enter the information in, type the information then press CTRL+Enter

Now I have a question, not about your course, but if you coluld solve this problem I would be grateful. Do you know how to get rid of the usernaume in comments? I know I could go via Alternative/Genereral/Microsoft Office/Username etc. but that does not solve the problem. If I put a space instead of my name, or my initials, it still writes “:” in bold character and I want a empty comment when I start writing in it.

I think it must be solved by VBA code? And I don’t know how to write it, so if you know, and if you can help me, I would appreciate that.

I think it is very annoying that I have to delete my name (or initials) in everey new comment I make. Must be a way to get around it?

Kind regards, Leif Norinder

Hello Mr. Sumit,

I am unable to find “Developer tab” and “Customizing Ribbon and QAT” options in Excel 2007 . Kindly help me how can I access these options ?

Have a look at this – https://trumpexcel.com/excel-developer-tab/

Sorry, unable to find the ‘customize the ribbon’ toolbar in 2007 excel. I guess I need to upgrade excel with 2013 version.

Is this a certification course ? If not, then what should we do to get a certificate for our learnings ?

Hello Dhiraj.. This is a free course so no certificate is issued for completing it

Will I receive a certificate of completion for this training?

Hello Terri.. This is a free course so no certificate is issued for completing it

I created some data in Sheet 1, Cell A1 (in Excel 2016), and I linked these contents of Sheet 1 to Sheet 2, Cell A1. I created a link to enable the contents of Sheet 1 (Cell A1) to appear automatically in Sheet 2 so that whenever I change the contents of Sheet 1, the same automatically changes in Sheet 2. To quickly go back to Sheet 1 (where the original data is contained), I used DOUBLE-CLICK method and, as expected, Excel immediately moved back to Sheet 1, Cell A1.

However, when I use my laptop at home (also Excel 2016) and try to DOUBLE-CLICK when I am in Sheet 2 in order to quickly go back to Sheet 1, Cell A1, instead of linking me to Sheet 1, the cursor is just blinking in Sheet 2.

Question: How do I change the settings of my laptop at home to enable me jump from Sheet 2 to Sheet 1 upon double-clicking the link in Sheet 2, Cell A1, to enable me to go to the actual location of my data in Sheet 1? Thank you.

Hi Sir! Thank you for this three tutorial. Unfortunately, I don’t see any video to watch. What should I do?

When you click on the gray bars on the page above, you will get the video that you can watch. Are you not getting any videos when you click on the gray bar?

No, I don’t see any videos. Just a list of what we will learn in the section.

Can you please try now? Also, refresh the page (hold the control key and then hit the F5 key). This should fix the issue

That’s perfect! Thank You Sumit.

Click on the link and then scroll down slowly, so you do not pass it up, until you see the box with the video area….

no. not getting any videos

Sumit You are truly an MVP. Your videos and instructions are fantastic, they are easy to understand, not cumbersome or a burden to watch and your instruction is simple and precise. I have used Excel for a very long time but each time I need an answer you are my go to search and instructor and it goes without saying I always find what I am looking for. Are you as good in other aspects of the MS Suite or Master of one? Let me know. Thanks for your support. Paramveer Sidhu

Thank you so much for the kind word Paramveer 🙂 I only focus on MS Excel. While I use most of MS apps, I am not as deep into it as I am in Excel.

Are you on linkedin?

Wonderful learning tool for work experience

Hi Sumit Bansal,

I don’t find any video link in this page…

Video links?

Hi, the links to your videos disappear. Could you please fix it?

Where are the links to start the course – videos??

Click on the link and then scroll down slowly, so you do not pass it up, until you see the box with the video area….

Bro where is the link to videos????

Your website provides excellent insight in Excel which is very useful for every type of end user.

I am struggling with an issue, I am unable to resolve myself and I hope you can give me right direction: In my first worksheet “dataentry” I have a column A and B, where column A is a dropdown list with numbers and column B is a dependent dropdown list related to column A. On my second worksheet “datalists” I created the value lists related to column A and B. The problem lies in the fact that on the “datalist” worksheet Column A defines the value list which should be displayed when selecting the value for Column A on the “dataentry” but that I want to see the full description from Column B from the “datalist” sheet in my dropdown list. Similarly, on the “datalist” worksheet Column C defines the value list which should be displayed when selecting the value for Column B on the “dataentry” but that I want to see the full description from Column D from the “datalist” sheet in my dropdown list.

I hope I made my problem clear and really hope you are able to help me out here.

Thanks in advance!

really helpful pls post some course on advance excel such as vlookup & hlookup, data validation

Do they give a certificate on completion of course too?

I enjoy your courses, you make learning Excel easy !!

Need your support on power query. I have gone through the video of merging multiple workbooks into one workbook. That was an interesting feature. However need to know one thing. In case we have two worksheets on three workbooks with similar names, is it possible to merge into one having the end result as a combined workbook with two worksheets

Thank you Sumit. Your sessions are awesome and its a great learning for all of us

Excel Practice 1

Practice It Icon

Since Microsoft Excel is widely used in industry, and we are using Microsoft Windows, we will focus on Excel going forward. There are many similarities across spreadsheet software, so the skills we are learning can be translated to other software and apps. The following ‘Practice It’ assignments are designed to be completed using Microsoft Excel in Office 365 on a PC with Windows 10 or higher.

excel spreadsheet assignments

We will use Excel to perform complex calculations, analyze data so that we can make intelligent decisions, and create visually interesting charts and graphs that help us understand the data. Since Excel is used for Data Analysis, it is best to use a keyboard and mouse or touchpad rather than the touchscreen.

In Excel, data is stored in a cell . Cell content is anything that is stored in the cell and can be either a constant value or a formula. The most commonly used values are text values and number values . Values can also be a date or time. A text value is also referred to as a label.

Here is a video demonstrating the skills in this practice. Please note it does not exactly match the instructions: 

Complete the following Practice Activity and submit your completed project.

For our first assignment in Excel, we will create a spreadsheet with monthly expenses. This spreadsheet will provide us with an overall picture of our financial health by helping us understand where we are spending our hard-earned money. We will start with a new blank Excel Spreadsheet.

  • Start Excel. Click Blank Workbook.
  • Select File, Save As, Browse, and then navigate to your Excel folder on your flash drive or other location where you save your files. Name the workbook as Yourlastname_Yourfirstname_Excel_Practice_1.

5 Easy Steps to Do the Famous Excel Assignment Sheet

Updated: May 22, 2023

Keeping up with the college schedule can be hard, especially when your university, like mine, works on a quarter system.

At the beginning of my first year, I thought using a calendar/agenda and pen would work just as great as it did in high school, but I quickly realized that most professors give out all assignments at the beginning of the term and don't remind you before the deadline. I was overwhelmed with so many assignments that I barely had time to study; everything was pilling up.

One of my roommates said that she stayed organized with a color-coded excel sheet for all assignments of the term. I later noticed that it was a trend for people to use this method, however, when I asked my friends about it, most of them wanted to do it but didn't know how to.

I had to learn how to do it myself and ended up using it for my entire freshman year. So far, it has worked wonderfully, so I figured I would share how to do it so everyone can give it a try.

Step 1. Color Coding

In this 1st step, you will decide which colors you'll be using for each subject.

Here, for example, I have my six classes abbreviated, and I colored each one differently: Linguistics is orange, Techniques of Speaking is blue and so on...

excel spreadsheet assignments

Step 2. Writing Down the Assignments

Every university has their own system regarding how assignments are given out, for example, Drexel University uses a syllabus system. Each professor will hand out a syllabus for their class at the beginning of the year, where inside, the student can find all the deadlines and assignments for the term.

Write down all the details of each assignment in the excel sheet. Add the class name, the # of the week in which it is due, the complete due date, the name of the assignment, and the status (blank or done) **more on this later.

Repeat this step for each class.

excel spreadsheet assignments

Step 3. Adding Color

This step is very simple. Select all the cells for each subject and add the color you decided on for that class. Here is how mine looks so far:

excel spreadsheet assignments

Step 4. Organizing by Due Date

To organize our sheet by due date, we must sort *custom sort* the entire chart.

Select the entire chart, every column and every line. All the assignments, no matter the class.

Right click and select *sort* - *custom sort*.

excel spreadsheet assignments

Clicking on *custom sort* must have opened the sort window.

There, you'll see a list that says column, sort by. column A. You must click on the list and change the column to the column in which your due dates are listed on.

For example: my due dates are on column D, so I change the list that says "column A" to "column D."

Next, there's a list that says sort on, values. This will remain the same so leave it at "values."

The last list says order, oldest to newest. This will also remain the same. **If yours says something different, simply click on the list and a drop down menu will pop up where you can select the option "oldest to newest."

excel spreadsheet assignments

When your "sort" window looks like this, click on *ok* to make the changes. It will organize your assignments by due date and not by class.

excel spreadsheet assignments

Step 5. Using It

The final step is to use your excel sheet, and every time you have completed an assignment, on the column status write the word "done."

"done" means you have finished the assignment.

Then, once you have turned in the assignment, you can cross off the entire line.

How to cross something of:

Shortcut in Windows computer: select the cells you want to cross off, then click Ctrl + 5.

Shortcut in Mac computer: select the cells you want to cross off, then click Command + Shift + X.

Normal way in any computer: select the cells you want to cross off, then click on the bottom right corner of the "font" section.

excel spreadsheet assignments

Once the "format cells" window has opened on the "font" section, select the *strikethrough* option under "effects."

excel spreadsheet assignments

Then click on *ok* to make the changes.

After a while of using your chart, it will start looking like this.

excel spreadsheet assignments

Make sure to add any new assignments to the chart by simply inserting a new line, changing its color and organizing it by due date. Simply repeat the 5 steps.

I hope this was helpful to keep up with your college schedule. Thank me later ;)

I appreciate your feedback. If you have any questions, concerns, and/or comments, please write them below in the comments section and I will make sure to reply to as many as I can. Have a wonderful day.

Description

Drop-Down Lists for Status and Priority - The Status column lets you choose from "Not Started", "Incomplete", "In Progress", and "Complete." The Priority columns lets you choose between "High", "Medium", or "Low." If you want to edit the items in the drop-down lists, just select the cells you want to edit and go to Data > Data Validation and edit the comma-delimited lists.

Conditional Formatting for Priority and Due Date - I've set up the Priority column to show "High" as a bold red font and "Low" as a blue font. The Due Date uses icon sets to show when the date is past due. If you need or want to edit these rules, go to Home > Conditional Formatting > Manage Rules and select "This Worksheet" from the drop-down to see all the rules for the worksheet.

A Worksheet for Each Class - You can duplicate the main worksheet tab to create a homework list for each of your classes. Just right-click on the worksheet tab and select "Move or Copy" and check the "Create a copy" box. Then you can rename the tabs "ENG 101", "MATH 101" etc.

Completed Assignments - When you select "Complete" from the Status column, the font in that row will change to a gray strikethrough . You can edit the conditional format rule to change that if you want.

Excel Tutorial: How To Make Assignment Schedule In Excel

Introduction.

Managing assignments and deadlines can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with multiple projects simultaneously. This is where Excel comes in handy, allowing you to create well-organized and efficient assignment schedules . In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating an assignment schedule in Excel, helping you stay on top of your tasks and deadlines.

Key Takeaways

  • Excel is a valuable tool for creating and managing assignment schedules, especially for multiple projects.
  • Understanding the basic layout and functions of Excel is essential for creating an efficient assignment schedule.
  • Color-coding and formatting options can help visually organize and prioritize tasks in the assignment schedule.

  • Efficient data entry and management practices, such as sorting and filtering options, are crucial for maintaining a well-organized assignment schedule in Excel.

Understanding the Excel Interface

Microsoft Excel is a powerful tool for creating spreadsheets and organizing data. Before diving into creating an assignment schedule, it's important to have a good understanding of the Excel interface.

  • Excel opens with a blank worksheet, consisting of a grid of cells organized into rows and columns.
  • The ribbon at the top of the window contains tabs, each of which has several groups of related commands.
  • The Quick Access Toolbar provides easy access to commonly used commands.
  • Cells are the individual rectangular boxes on the worksheet where you enter data.
  • Rows run horizontally across the worksheet, and columns run vertically.
  • Each cell is referenced by its column letter and row number, such as A1 or B5.
  • Excel offers a wide range of formatting options to customize the appearance of your worksheet, including font styles, colors, and borders.
  • You can also apply number formats, such as currency or percentage, to make your data easier to read.
  • Conditional formatting allows you to highlight specific cells based on their values.

Creating a New Worksheet

When it comes to creating an assignment schedule in Excel, the first step is to start a new worksheet.

A. Step-by-step guide to starting a new Excel worksheet

To begin, open Excel and click on the “File” tab in the top left corner. From the drop-down menu, select “New” to create a new worksheet. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + N to start a new worksheet instantly.

After creating the new worksheet, it is important to name and save the file to avoid losing any work. Click on the “File” tab and select “Save As” to choose a location on your computer and give the file a name. Be sure to save the file periodically as you work on it to prevent any data loss.

C. Understanding different file formats

Excel offers various file formats for saving your worksheet, such as .xlsx, .xlsm, and .xlsb. Each format has its own features and compatibility with other software, so it is important to understand the differences and choose the appropriate format for your needs.

Setting Up the Assignment Schedule

Creating an assignment schedule in Excel can help you stay organized and on top of your workload. To effectively set up your schedule, follow these steps:

  • Dates: Begin by creating a column for dates, starting with the due date of the first assignment and continuing through the end of the semester or project timeline.
  • Assignments: Next, create a column for listing the assignments or tasks that need to be completed, corresponding to the dates in the first column.
  • Deadlines: In a third column, enter the deadlines for each assignment, ensuring that they align with the corresponding date and assignment.
  • Start Date: Use the =TODAY() function to automatically populate the start date of the schedule. This will ensure that the schedule always reflects the current date.
  • Date Calculations: Utilize Excel's date functions, such as =EDATE() and =DATE() , to calculate and display future dates based on the start date and assignment deadlines.
  • Color-Coding: Use Excel's formatting options to apply color-coding to the schedule, such as highlighting past due assignments in red, upcoming deadlines in yellow, and completed tasks in green.
  • Conditional Formatting: Take advantage of Excel's conditional formatting feature to automatically apply colors based on specific criteria, making it easier to visually identify important dates and tasks.

Adding Formulas and Functions

When it comes to creating an assignment schedule in Excel, adding formulas and functions can help automate calculations and updates, making the process more efficient and less prone to human error. In this section, we will introduce basic Excel formulas for calculating due dates and progress, discuss the use of functions to automate calculations and updates, and troubleshoot common formula errors.

Excel offers a wide range of formulas that can be utilized to calculate due dates and track progress for assignments. Some basic formulas that can be used include:

  • Today: This function can be used to automatically insert the current date in a cell. For example, =TODAY()
  • Date calculations: Formulas such as =E2+7 can be used to calculate a due date by adding a specified number of days to a start date.
  • Progress percentage: Formulas like =F2/D2 can be used to calculate the percentage of progress based on completed tasks and the total number of tasks.

Excel functions are powerful tools that can be used to automate calculations and updates. Some useful functions for creating an assignment schedule include:

  • IF function: This function can be used to set up conditional statements based on specific criteria. For example, =IF(D2>TODAY(),"Not Yet Due","Past Due")
  • VLOOKUP function: This function can be used to retrieve specific data from a table based on a lookup value. For example, =VLOOKUP(E2, A2:B10, 2, FALSE)
  • SUMIF function: This function can be used to sum values based on specified criteria. For example, =SUMIF(A2:A10, "Complete", C2:C10)

While working with formulas and functions, it is common to encounter errors. Some common formula errors in Excel include:

  • #DIV/0!: This error occurs when a formula attempts to divide by zero. It can be resolved by adding a conditional statement to check for zero denominators.
  • #VALUE!: This error occurs when a formula includes invalid data types. It can be resolved by checking for mismatched data types and ensuring that all data is entered correctly.
  • #REF!: This error occurs when a cell reference is invalid. It can be resolved by checking for broken or incorrect cell references.

Data Entry and Management

A. Best practices for data entry in the assignment schedule

  • Consistent Formatting: Ensure that all data is entered in a consistent format, such as dates in the same style and naming conventions for tasks.
  • Use Data Validation: Implement data validation to restrict input to specific criteria, such as valid dates or designated options for task types.
  • Accuracy Check: Double-check all entries for accuracy and completeness to avoid errors in the schedule.

B. Sorting and filtering options for managing large sets of data

  • Sorting Data: Utilize Excel's sorting feature to arrange the assignment schedule based on criteria such as due dates or task priorities.
  • Filtering Data: Utilize Excel's filtering feature to display specific subsets of the assignment schedule, making it easier to focus on particular tasks or deadlines.
  • Custom Views: Create custom views to quickly switch between different arrangements of the assignment schedule for various purposes.

C. Tips for efficient data management within Excel

  • Use Tables: Convert the assignment schedule into a table to take advantage of dynamic updates and built-in filtering options.
  • Conditional Formatting: Apply conditional formatting to highlight important deadlines or overdue tasks for better visibility.
  • Utilize Formulas: Implement Excel formulas to automate calculations, such as calculating task durations or remaining time until deadlines.

Throughout this tutorial, we covered the key steps to create an assignment schedule in Excel , including setting up the layout, entering the data, and applying formatting. I encourage you to practice and explore further the features of Excel to become more proficient in using this powerful tool for organizing and managing your assignments.

How-To Geek

Excel isn't just for accountants: 4 ways i use it in my daily life.

Excel is a great tool for staying organized in your busy life.

Quick Links

  • Vacation Destinations With Different Criteria
  • Tracking My Sports Team’s Stats
  • Tracking My Weight (I’m on a Diet!)

Excel is often seen as a complicated program for highly trained accountants, but this isn't necessarily the case. I use Excel daily to keep track of my budgeting, choose the ideal vacation destination, track my team's sports stats, and keep an eye on my weight-loss progress... and you can too!

1. Budgeting

With today's never-ending cost-of-living increases, I use Excel to manage my budgeting and keep track of how much disposable income I have left over each month.

First, create an Excel table by typing Type , Details , Cost , To Pay , and Date in cells A1 to E1.

  • The Type column is the category of the expenditure (useful for filtering later on).
  • The Details column contains the specific information about what the cost is.
  • The Cost column contains the specific price of the expenditure.
  • Leave the To Pay column blank for now.
  • The Date column reminds you of when the payment is due to be made.

Once you have input the data into columns A, B, C, and E, format your table and give your table a name . In my case, I've called it Budgeting.

Whenever you type a date in Excel, make sure the cell data type is set to "Date." This will mean that Excel can use these dates to help you manage your budget automatically.

Now, in cell G1, type Today's Date , in cell G2, type End of Month , and in cell G3, type Days Left .

In cell H1, type the following formula to generate today's date:

In cell H2, type the last date of the current month manually.

In cell H3, type the following formula to calculate the number of days remaining in the month:

=SUM(H2-H1)

We're now ready to populate column D. In cell D2, type

=IF([@Date]<$H$1,"PAID",[@Cost])

This means that if the date of the payment item in row 2 is earlier than today's date (in cell H1), we want Excel to mark it as Paid. If the date is later than today's date, the total cost of that item will show in this cell. When you press enter after typing the formula, the rest of the column will populate automatically.

Finally, we can now use all this information to calculate our budget.

Underneath your formatted table, in column A, type Bank balance , Total expenditure , Total left to pay , Leftover , and Daily budget on separate rows. Then, you will need to add totals or formulas to the corresponding cells in column B as follows:

Type your bank balance manually. You should update this cell each time you return to check your budget.

Then, in the cell next to Total expenditure, type

=SUM(Budgeting[Cost])

where Budgeting is the name we assigned to our table, and [Cost] is the name of the column we're totalling.

Now, in the cell next to Total left to pay, type

=SUM(Budgeting[To pay])

In the cell next to Leftover, type

=SUM(B21-B23)

where B21 is your manually-added bank balance, and B23 is the cell containing the total left to pay.

In the cell next to Daily budget, type

=SUM(B24/H3)

where B24 is the total leftover, and H3 is the number of days remaining in the month.

You now have a complete monthly budgeting spreadsheet. Simply duplicate the sheet each month to set up a new budget. Then, amend that month's payment details, change the last day of the month in cell H2, and keep your bank balance updated.

2. Vacation Destinations With Different Criteria

With so many options for different vacation destinations, Excel can help you keep these in order. Yes, there are websites that can help you with some criteria, but how about those specific elements that matter to you, such as property with a fireplace, or a region with a dark sky for those of you who love stargazing? Whatever it is you're looking for, use Excel to whittle down your options without having to pay that extra percentage for third-party booking commissions.

I love going on short stays around the UK, and this spreadsheet started off with a few notes about some of the properties that tickled my fancy. But as I stayed at more places, I started to realize what elements mattered to me the most, and my spreadsheet quickly expanded.

Here are some of the tools I benefit from the most when using my spreadsheet:

  • Freeze panes : With my spreadsheet being so vast, I decided to freeze the property link and name columns and the header row. This means that, whenever I scroll across or down, those parts remain visible. In the example above, I selected cell C3, and in the View tab on the ribbon, I clicked "Freeze Panes" to freeze row 1 and columns A and B.
  • Filters : The whole purpose of this spreadsheet is to help me choose which property to go to based on specific criteria. So, I added a filter to my spreadsheet. I selected the whole of row 1, headed to the Data tab on the ribbon, and clicked the "Filter" button. Now, I can use the filter drop-down arrows in each column to nitpick my preferences. For example, I can order the price from lowest to highest in column D, remove all properties that don't allow dogs in column I, and filter by color according to the light pollution in column H.
  • Hidden rows and columns containing formulas: I have hidden row 2 in my spreadsheet because I've added details in columns F and G that I don't want to display on my sheet or be included in the filters I apply. In cell F2, I typed my car's miles per gallon, and in cell G2, I converted the total gallons to liters, so that I could work out the fuel cost for the trip. To hide a row or column, right-click on the gray header (the column letter or column number), and click "Hide."
  • Color code: As an avid stargazer, I use a light pollution map to find out whether there's a good chance of seeing the Milky Way. I then use Excel's color fill to match the cell color with the light pollution indicator. Blues on the map represent little light pollution, while yellows and oranges represent heavy light pollution. I can then filter column H by color to see which properties are likely to offer the best skies.
  • Notes : Notice the red markers on cells B14 and B17. These show that I've added a note to that cell that I didn't want to add as an extra column to the spreadsheet. For example, in B14, I made a note that the minimum stay at that property is five nights. To do this, simply right-click the relevant cell, and click "New Note."

3. Tracking My Sports Team’s Stats

This is my favorite Excel workbook. Like with most spreadsheets, they started off really simple, and I've gradually added to them over time.

The best tools for creating these spreadsheets have been conditional formatting and charts.

As you can see in the screenshot above, I've used conditional formatting to automatically apply color to cells based on their values (such as red for L, yellow for D, and green for W). To do this, I selected the whole of column D, opened "Conditional Formatting" in the Home tab, and clicked "New Rule." I then clicked "Format Only Cells That Contain" and completed the details of the rule in the easy-to-follow dialog box.

On this sheet, I've used an in-built conditional formatting rule to create data bars. I selected column B, clicked "Conditional Formatting" in the Home tab, and hovered over "Data Bars." I could then choose the data bar type that best aligned with my spreadsheet's formatting. Then, I used the Format Painter tool to apply the same rules to the other columns, alternating between blue and green for clarity.

My sports team tracking workbook contains 12 tabs overall, so I created a dashboard sheet that pulls together the key information in chart form in one place. Click the "+" at the bottom of your workbook to add a new sheet, and double-click the new tab to rename it Dashboard . Then, use the Charts group in the Insert tab on the ribbon to choose different graphs that will work well for your data. Finally, you can format your data labels and chart colors to make them look exactly how you want, and hide the gridlines to add that extra presentational touch to your dashboard.

4. Tracking My Weight (I’m on a Diet!)

Who knew that Excel could be a weight-loss motivator?

Using Excel's formatted table function and line chart, I created a spreadsheet to track my weight and show me how close to my target I am getting:

  • Start by creating a table by typing Date , Weight , and Target into cells A1, B1, and C1, respectively. Once you have your first row of data, highlight all the cells in the table (including the headers), and head to the Home tab. From there, in the Styles group, click "Format As Table," and check the "My Table Has Headers" box.
  • Next, you should name your table. Click anywhere on your formatted table, and in the Table Design tab, rename the table as Weight in the Table Name field on the left.
  • Now, click anywhere on the table again, and click the "Line Chart" option in the Insert tab.
  • Finally, double click anywhere on your newly created chart to format its design and amend the axis options to suit your needs.

To add a new row for the next day's data, right-click the bottom row of your table, hover over "Insert," and click "Table Row Below."

Once you start using Excel for your everyday dealings, you'll undoubtedly find even more uses for this dynamic program, and using these little-known Excel functions can help you to make your spreadsheets more adaptable to your needs.
