PS CH. 5-- "The Amazing Advantages"

The advantage to using function formulas in Microsoft Excel is that they perform complex calculations in specialized areas of mathematics. Function Formulas are special formulas that do not use operators to calculate the result. They can be used in statistics, logic, trigonometry, accounting, and finance. Function formulas are also used to convert worksheet values to dates and times. A function formula contains three components: equal sign, a function name, and an argument. Argument is just a fancy word for cell value. Examples of function formulas are =SUM(C5:C10), =SQRT(C5), and =MAX(C5:C10).

PS CH.4-- "Excel in My Future"

The only way I see myself using Microsoft Excel in the future is if I am helping my mom at work. She is an accounting manager/bookkeeper so she uses Microsoft Excel worksheets almost everyday. I also see myself using Microsoft Excel in the future if I become a secretary of some sort maybe, I honestly don’t know of any other jobs that use Microsoft Excel. But some day I might become an accounting manager or bookkeeper so it is still good to know about.

PS CH. 3-- "My Microsoft Excel Article Summary"

This blog is supposed to be about an article about Microsoft Excel you find in a newspaper, magazine, ect. So I found an article in the Daily Times Call about how St. Vrain Valley School District is escalating its reach by offering classes to community members. Nancy Herbert the director of community relations says “the school district hopes to build bridges with members of the public, especially those who don’t have children in the schools.” Most people don’t have children in our schools so this provides them with an opportunity to take advantage of St. Vrain Valley School District courses firsthand. Community members are invited to fill any empty seat in classes, such as; Spanish, Microsoft Access, PowerPoint, Excel and Word.

PS CH. 2-- "My New Excel Experiences"

In this blog I will tell you about a new experience I have learned in my 2 chapter of Microsoft Excel. One new thing I have learned is how to fill the cell with a color and change the cell text. To change the color of a cell using the toolbar, move the highlight to the cell and click the down arrow on the Fill Color button on the Formatting toolbar. A menu of colors appears. Click the color you want, and the cell is filled with that color. To change the color of a text using the toolbar, move the highlight to the cell you want to change and click the down arrow on the Font Color button. A menu of colors appears. Click the color you want, and the text is changed to your color choice. You can also change the color of cells and text using the Format Cells dialog box. Open the Format menu and choose Cells, and then click the Patterns tab. Click the color in the cell shading section. You can also click the down arrow on the Pattern box and choose a pattern from the menu. This is a way to add emphasis to your work.

PS CH. 1-- "My Excel Thoughts"

My initial thoughts about this class were it should be fairly easy. I thought this because my sister had taken it when she went here. She always said to me it is so easy, I am ahead of everything. When she was talking to me though about this class she never mentioned “Microsoft Excel” or anything that I have been doing, all she said was it is a computer class. Before this first lesson all I knew about Microsoft Excel was that my mom uses it at her work. My mom told me that it was pretty simple, so this made me feel a little more secure about Microsoft Excel. After my first lesson it seems to me that it is easier then I though and it only gets complex if you make it that way.
