Good! I have learnt something new today.

Though hough I did it on Quickoffice pro on my android phone.
Waiting for the day the knowledge will be useful.
The process is similar but when it gets to the calculation part, you realise that...... @op! you deceived me into thinking this tutorial was for the beginners and coconut-brainers as you emphasised.

You didn't think we coconut-brainers grin would want to know how you came up with those equations you used or what ? For example I had to think up the church-meaning of tithe as the one tenth of one's income before I grasped why the hell you had to put (=B*0.1) in B5 instead of the N10000 you outlined here.........

Salary =N100,000
Tithe = 10,000
Transport = 10,000
Feeding = 20,000
Enjoyment =30,000
Others = 20,000
Total expenditure = 90,000
Balnce = 10,000

Overall, It was a genuine lesson, but frankly due to the absence of term definitions and all, I had to do about all the thinking as to why some of the inputs should be put where they were put.


Looking forward to seeing the
rest of the lessons or is it done? embarassed

YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOUR EYES

1st Goal: Erase all data from your Excel sheet

-With your cursour, Go to the box between the left of A column and top of 1st Row (see figure 1 in diagram below)
-click on the box. This automatically highlights all data in the sheet (see figure 1)
-press on the key 'delete' on your keypad. This deletes all data in the sheet. The 'delete' key might be somewhere on the Right hand side of your keyboard

You can recover all you've lost by pointing your cursor to the 'undo typing' (see figure 2) and clicking with your mouse

YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOUR EYES 2

Assuming you are wondering what to make of your life in the years to come, Spreadsheets could be extremely usefull
Lets see:

Year: 2013; Your Age: 19; Your Uni level: Yr 1

we will look out for dates we shld be married, have our houses, have kids, buryour parents, send our kids to school, and kick the bucket at a repectable age etc using spreadsheets
Re: Learn How To Use Excel Spreadsheets For Beginners by esere826: 11:02am On Jun 17, 2013
In cell A1, type: Year .... In cell B1, type: Uni Level ....In cell C1, type: My age
In cell D1, type: Dad's age ... In cell E1, type: Mums Age ...In cell F1, type: 1st child's age
In cell G1, type: 2nd child's age...... In cell H1, type: 3rd child's age

YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOUR EYES 3

You notice that sizes of cells E, F, G, and H are too small for the data inputted into them.
To expand the cells so that data fits more nicely into it, you can do any of these:

Move your cursor gently to the line seperating one column from the next
For example,
move your cursor to the line dividing header F, from header G
u'll notice that the cursor shape has changed from something like this + to something like this <-|->

YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOUR EYES 4

now, when your cusor changes to this <-|->
double click and drag the line either left or right to expand or contract it
then relaese the click

You can also do same to the horizontal sizes by clicking on the header sections of the rows,
for example, between 1 and 2
Re: Learn How To Use Excel Spreadsheets For Beginners by esere826: 9:06pm On Jun 19, 2013
YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOUR EYES 5

Another way of expanding the cells is by first clicking on the cell between the left of column header A and top of row header B
(This highlights the entire spreadsheet)

You can then resize any of the row or column headers as I demonstrated in the earlier post
(This sizing affects the entire spreadsheet)
