Excel Enhancements

One of the formating features of excel is smart art which is used to make the sheet look better. You can also format the color of cells to make the table look more presentable. You can  join cells together and center stuff inside of them to make it easier to read.

Using Math Formulas

You can calculate how much you spend and how much you earn by using excel. Excel does calculations just like you would do on a calculater. If you key a formula for an addition symbol (+), a subtraction sign (-), a multiplication symbol(*), and a division symbol(/), Excel will calculate the multiplication first, then division,then addition, and the subtraction.

Skill Builder:
1) First it would be multiplication, then division, then addition, and then subtraction.
2) Th order of precedence is important because if they were not in order, the calculations would mess up.
3) 5-2*3+7-4= 5-6+7-4= 5-13-4= -12

2) It makes it easier for exel to do it, instead of you having to do it yourself on a calculator.
3) Word is a program used to write letters or type information, but Excel is used to organize and manipulate numbers and other data.
