5 MS Word: Mail Merge Dear Teacher, Yes Students, We want to send an It is possible to create invitation letter to our a letter with different friends. How can we addresses in MS Word. This feature is create a common letter called Mail Merge. with different addresses? Let's learn about it. We want to learn about it. Mail Merge Imagine that you have to send a letter to 50 people at different addresses. You have the letter drafted in MS Word. Can MS Word help you to generate desired number of copies of your letter with different addresses and names of the recipients? Answer is: Yes, the Mail Merge feature of MS Word helps you in doing so. Mail merge allows us to create documents which have most of the content similar with some varying data like recipient's Name, Address, Contact No., City, State, etc. How Mail Merge Works? Mail Merge works on the concept of following 3 components: Main Document: This document contains the common content that needs to be sent to multiple recipients. For example, a letter. Data Source: This is the document that contains all the varying data that needs to be inserted into (merged) the main document. For example, name address, city etc. This could be table in MS Word or a data set in a spreadsheet like MS Excel. Merged document: This is the final document, which contains the copies of the main document with varying data from the Data Source inserted at the desired locations in the main content. For example, one copy will contain the letter with recipient N K Sharma’s name, address and city while the other copy will have same letter with another recipient Ravi Kumar’s name, address and city of Ravi Kumar. Now, let us go through mail merging process, step-by-step. 55

Formula in MS Excel Mathematical formulas and functions are main features of MS Excel. A formula is an equation that performs a calculation. Like a calculator, Excel can execute formulas for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Before proceeding further, let's learn about some basic mathematical operators that are used to write a formula. Arithmetic operators To perform basic mathematical operations, arithmetic operators are used. For example, + (plus sign) for addition, – (Minus sign) for subtraction, * (asterisk sign) for multiplication, / (forward slash) for division, % (Percentage sign) for percentage and (^) carat for exponents. 68

Note Example, order of calculation Precedence of basic mathematical operators: The equation: =6 + 5 - 4 * 3 / 1. ( ) Parenthesis (evaluate items in parenthesis) 2, will be calculated in the 2. % Percentage following order: 3. ^ Exponent 4. *, / Multiplication, division 1. Multiplication: 6+5-12/2 5. +, - Addition, subtraction 6. =, <>, <=, >= Comparison operators 2. Division: 6+5-6 The operators that are equal in precedence are performed left to right. 3. Addition: 11-6 4. Subtraction: 5 Answer: 5 Do it Yourself 1. Take help of your teacher or Internet and try to know the precedence of other operators in Excel formulas. 2. Find the output of the following equations in MS Excel and write the answer in the spaces given below: i) 9–3+5*7 = _____ ii) (9–5)/(2+7) = _____ iii) 5^3*5–6 = _____ iv) 3*4-18/4 = _____ v) (8+9)*2 = _____ vi) 7–7/3 = _____ Comparison/Relational Operators To compare two values, comparison operators are used. The result is always a logical value i.e. either True or False. For example, = (Equal to), > (Greater than), < (Less than), >= (Greater than or Equal to), <= Less than or Equal to) and <> (Not Equal to). Writing simple formula  Every formula must begin with an equal sign ‘=’.  There must be an operator(s) to operate on the data.  The data, which can be text, number, date, time or a cell address. 69

Let's see some examples of writing simple formulas: A. 1. Select the cell where the answer will appear. 2. Type the equal sign = with the formula that you want Excel to calculate and press Enter key. For example, =5 + 5. B. 1. Enter data in a worksheet in 2 columns J, K, L, M and N (as shown in the figure). 3 2. Click in the cell O10 below the Note ‘Total’ heading and type the formula. Specify the cell address While creating a formula using cell with the arithmetic operator. reference, you can use mouse to select the cell to insert it’s address in the formula, For example, =L10+M10+N10 . instead of typing. In this example, type ‘=’, click on L10 cell, 3. Press Enter key. You will get the type ‘+’, click on M10 cell, type ‘+’, click answer in the cell. on N10 to create formula to get addition of the values of these cells. 4. To calculate the total marks of other students, place the cursor on 46 the bottom-right corner of the formula cell. The cursor changes into a solid plus sign ‘+’. 5. Click and drag the mouse till the end of the list. 6. Release the mouse button. Amazing Fact To perform a calculation using a cell address (in an equation) to represent the value in a cell, is called cell reference. You will learn more about cell reference in the next chapter. C. 1. Enter a value in A1 cell. For example, 12. 2. Click in B1 cell and type the formula =A1*5. 3. Press Enter key. Using Compound Formula In a compound formula, more than one operator are used. Let's learn about it with the help of an example (with mouse click). 1. Enter values in the worksheet (see the figure given on next page). 70

2. Click in B4 cell and type ‘=’, click on B1 cell, type ‘*’, click on B2 cell, type ‘*’, click on B3 cell (with mouse click in the cells, their respective cell address are displayed in the formula), type ‘/’ and 100. Press Enter key. 3. The calculated result is displayed in the B4 cell. Do it Yourself Open MS Excel and create a worksheet as per the guidelines given below: 1. Create four headings in the first row and enter the respected data in first three columns. See the figure for reference. 2. Click in D2 cell to calculate the total value of the item and enter formula = B2*C2 and press Enter key. 3. Copy the same formula in the cells D3 to D6 ↓ (using mouse/drag and drop). 4. Save the file with the file name ‘yourname_class_formula’. Amazing Fact If the value in any of the cells is changed, whose address is used in the formula, the result in the corresponding cell changes automatically. Note Error Results You may get a few errors while performing calculations. Let's see some of the error results with their reason. 1. ##### : The column is not wide enough to display the value. 2. #NAME? : The text is not recognized in a formula. 3. #VALUE! : The formula has the wrong type of argument. 4. #DIV/0! : The formula tries to divide a number by 0 or an empty cell. 5. #REF! : The formula refers to a cell that is not valid. 6. #N/A : Data is not available. Edit a Formula 1. Click on cell (that contains the formula) you want to edit. 2. Insert the cursor in formula bar and edit the formula as desired. You can also double- click the cell to view and edit the formula directly from the cell. 3. When finished, press Enter key or click on Enter   command. 71

Delete a Formula When you delete a formula, the resulting values of the formula is also deleted. However, you can instead remove only the formula and leave the resulting value of the formula displayed in the cell. To delete formulas along with their resulting values, do the following: 1. Select the cell or range of cells that contains the formula. 2. Press Delete key on keyboard. To delete formulas without removing their resulting values, do the following: 1. Select the cell or range of cells that contains the formula. 2. On Home tab, in Clipboard group, click on Copy option. 3. Click on the drop-down arrow on Paste and select Paste Values option. Functions in Excel Functions are Predefined Formulas that perform calculations by using specified values called arguments in a particular order or structure. When you need to do calculations in a larger range of cells, to enter formulas repeatedly becomes difficult and time consuming. Functions can be used to perform simple or complex calculations. Structure of a Function: A function begins with an equal sign ‘=’, followed by the function name, an opening parenthesis ‘(’, the arguments for the functions separated by commas and a closing parenthesis ‘)’. Note Ÿ An argument in a function is the value that a function uses to perform operations or calculations. The type of argument a function uses is specific to the function. Ÿ Common arguments that are used within functions include numbers, text, cell references, logical values such as TRUE or FALSE, error values such as #N/A and names. Arguments can also be constants, formulae or other functions. The argument, you designate, must produce a valid value for the argument. Ÿ An argument tool tip with the syntax and arguments appears as you type the function. For example, click in a cell and type ‘= SUM(’ and the tool tip will appear. Tool tips appear only for built-in functions. Built-in Functions There are lots of functions available in Excel. These functions fall under different categories such as Text, Mathematical, Trigonometry, Financial, Date and time, etc. 72

Let’s have a look at some functions Sum : This is the most popular function. The SUM function takes all the values in each of the specified cells and totals their values. Syntax: =SUM (value1, value2, etc.) // =SUM(range of cells) Example =SUM (15, 25, 65) Output=105 Average: This function is used to find the average of the specified data. Syntax: =AVERAGE (value1, value2, etc.) Example =AVERAGE (10, 20, 30) Output=20 Product : This function is used to find the product of passed values. Syntax: =PRODUCT (value1, value2, etc.) Example =PRODUCT (10, 25, 2) Output=500 Max : This function is used to find the largest value from the range of values. Syntax: =MAX (value1, value2, etc.) Example =MAX (15, 25, 65) Output= 65 Min : This function is used to find the lowest value from the range of values. Syntax: =MIN (value1, value2, etc.) Example =MIN (15, 25, 65) Output=15 Round : This function is used to round the decimal values from the specified digits. Syntax: =ROUND (decimal value, no. of digits) Example =ROUND (1525.24876, 2) Output= 1525.25 Sqrt : This function is used to find the square root of passed number.

7 MS Excel: Working with Data Dear Teacher, Yes Students, Now, we are familiar In this chapter, we with MS Excel. We will learn about some want to learn about advanced features like other features in Excel. cell referencing, sorting and filtering. In previous chapter, you have learnt about basics of formatting, formulas and functions in Excel. Let's learn more about cell reference in formulas and functions and some advanced features. Cell Reference Cell reference is also known as cell address. It identifies the location of a cell in a group of cells in the worksheet. These cell addresses are used in formulas and functions. Types of Cell Reference Cell References are of three types: 1. Relative Cell Reference 2. Absolute Cell Reference 3. Mixed Cell Reference Cell containing function 1. Relative cell reference to calculate sum of values of cells A1 to A5. Relative cell reference is a default cell Figure 1A reference. If you move or copy a formula to another cell, the cells referred to in the formula will change accordingly. Excel adjusts the cell reference relativity to the new cell, in which the formula is pasted (figure 1A and figure 1B). In figure 1A, SUM function is used in cell A6 to get the sum of the values from A1 to A5 i.e. ‘=SUM (A1:A5)’. In figure 1B, function of A6 cell is copied to cell B6 to get the sum of values from B1 to B5. The cell references is changed to B1: B5 i.e., ‘=SUM (B1:B5)’. 79

2. Absolute cell reference In absolute cell reference if you move or copy the formula to another cell, the cells referred to in the formula will not change. Excel does not Cell B6, where adjust the absolute cell reference. To make a function is copied. reference absolute, add a ‘$’ (dollar) sign in front of both, the columns letter and the row numbers Figure 1B (see figure 2A and figure 2B). In figure 2A, formula in cell C4 is ‘=B4*$A$4’ and after copying the formula in cell C5 it is ‘=B5*$A$4’. In cell C5 formula, reference of cell A4 is not changed. Cell containing the formula to Formula is copied calculate the amount after discount. to cell C5. Figure 2A Figure 2B 3. Mixed cell reference Mixed cell reference consists of both relative and absolute cell reference. Excel adjusts the relative part of the reference while the absolute part is not adjusted. In a mixed cell reference, only the row or only the column remains fixed in a formula. To make a mixed reference, add a dollar ($) sign in front of only the column name or the row number. See figure 3A and 3B. Formula is copied to cell C4. Cell containing the formula to calculate the amount after discount of 0.15. Figure 3A Figure 3B Cell reference of another worksheet Cell reference of one worksheet can also be used in another worksheet. It can be done in two ways: 80

A. Using Copy-Paste: Select and copy the formula/ function of a cell in a worksheet and paste it in another worksheet. B. Using Sheet Reference: In this method, sheet number, exclamation mark and cell address are used. For example, on sheet1 you have a table of the marks of 1st term of class 6 students. On sheet2 you have marks of 2nd term. To get the grand total of 1st and 2nd term marks on sheet2, click on G19 cell on sheet2 and type the formula i.e. =F19+Sheet1!O10 and press Enter key. Do it Yourself You must have applied basic mathematical formulas on numbers. Do you know, y o u c a n perform addition on text data also? ‘&’ operator (symbol) is used for addition of text values. Let’s do it with the help of the following activity: 1. In a worksheet, type text values in the cells A1 and B1. e.g., “Edu” in A1 and “soft” in B1. 2. Click on the cell C1 and type the formula =A1&B1 and press Enter key. 3. Observe the output and write here- _______________________ Data Sorting Sorting is used to arrange the data in ascending or descending order. Sorting data can be done for alphabets, numbers, date and time, cell color, font color or icon set. Sort operations can be done for both columns and rows. The steps to sort the data are: 1. Select the required data that you want to sort. 2. On Home tab, in Editing group, click on Sort and Filter. 3. Select the required option. The data is sorted accordingly. 2 Note 3 When you select the entire range of data/table for sorting, 1 the options in the Sort & Filter menu is displayed according to Data is sorted according the type of data in first column to the option selected in of the range. The data is sorted Sort & Filter menu. according to the values in first column of the data/table. 81

Excel displays the options in Sort & Filter menu as per the type of data, selected in the worksheet. To sort the data according to a particular column in the table, do the following: Sorting according to the Text data 1. Select the required range of cells. 2. On Home tab, in Editing group, click on Sort and Filter. 3. Click on Sort A to Z or Sort Z to A option. 4. The Sort Warning dialog box appears. Select Expand the selection option and click on Sort button. The data (in the table/range) is sorted according to the selected column. Sort according to the Numeric data 1. Select the range of cells containing the data. 2. On Home tab, in Editing group, click on Sort and Filter. 3. Click on Sort Smallest to Largest or Largest to Smallest option. 4. The Sort Warning dialog box appears. Select Expand the selection option and click on Sort button. The data (in the table/range) is sorted according to the selected column). 82

Using Custom Sort The steps to use Custom Sort option are: 1. Click on any cell in the table/range. For example, A19. 2. On Home tab, in Editing group, 2 click on Sort and Filter. 3 45 3. Click on Custom Sort option. 1 7 4. The entire database is selected and the Sort dialog box appears. 5. In the Sort dialog box, default, My data has headers checkbox is selected. 6. Select the desired values in Custom, Sort On and Order fields. 7. Click on OK button. 6 The database is sorted accordingly. Do it Yourself Open MS Excel and create a worksheet as per the guidelines given below: 1. Create a table that contains the detail of the marks of five subjects, their total and percentage. See the figure for reference. 2. Select and merge the first row and give a title. 3. Apply a border to the table. 4. Sort the data basis of the Percentage column. 5. Save the file with file name 'yourname_ac_sorting'. Filtering Data The filter tool separates the data that matches the given criteria. Filtering data displays the data in the rows that meet the criteria and hides the rows that do not meet the criteria. Filtering a database allows to manipulate records as a group, separate from other database. Like sorting, filtering data can be done on text, numbers, date and time, cell colour, font colour and cell icon, selection, top or bottom numbers and above or below numbers. 83

The steps to filter the data are: 1 2 3 1. C l i c k o n a n y c e l l i n t h e 5 4 table/range. For example, A19. 6 7 2. On Home tab, in Editing group, click on the Sort and Filter. 3. Click on Filter option. 4. Small arrows are added to each filed name to filter data. 5. Click on drop-down arrow of A18 i.e. ‘Roll No' field and select the desired values in Number Filters section (by clicking on the check boxes). (Note: To display the complete data, click on Select All). 6. Click on OK button. 7. The list gets filtered and is displayed. Note To remove filter, on Home tab, in Editing group, click on Sort & Filter and select the Filter option in the menu. Do it Yourself Open the file that you have created in the previous activity and do the following. 1. Click on any cell in the Computer column in the table/range and apply filter on the table. 2. Display the data where marks in the English subject falls between 51 and 100. 3. Display the data where Percentage is greater than 80. 4. Save the changes. Format Table Using Tables Styles You can apply pre-defined table styles to a table in the worksheet. The steps to format the table using table styles are: 1. Select the table (data range). 84

2. On Home tab, in Styles group, click on Format as Table and select the required table style. 2 1 3 4 3. The Format As table dialog box appears. Click on OK button. 4. Required design is applied to the table. Small arrows are added to each filed name to filter data. Do it Yourself Open the file that you have created in the previous activity and do the following. 1. Select the table and remove the filter. 2. Now, select the table again (except the table header). 3. On Home tab, in Styles group, click on Format as Table and apply a table style. 4. Save the changes. See the figure for reference. 85

Conditional Formatting on Data Conditional formatting allows you to apply formats to a cell or range of cells (change the font colour, styling etc.) depending on the value of the cell or the value of a formula. Although Excel provides various built-in formatting rules, you can also add your own formula to a conditional formatting. For example, you can have a cell 1 appear bold only when the value 2 of the cell is greater than 80. Let’s learn it with the help of the following example, 1. Select the cells. 2. On Home tab, in Styles group, click on Conditional Formatting and select the required option. Calculating Subtotals Using Subtotal tool, you can organize data in groups. To subtotal a data list, you first sort the list on the field for which you want the subtotals. The steps to use a Subtotal function are: 1. Select the rows or columns in the table, that you want to group. 2. On Data tab, in Outline group, click on Subtotal. The Subtotal dialog box appears. 2 1 3 4 5 6 7 86

3. Select Month in At each change in: drop-down list. 4. To find the total of month-wise collection, select Sum in Use function: drop-down list. 5. Click on Total Collection in Add subtotal to: section. 6. Replace current subtotals check box can be deselected by clicking, if you want to overwrite the existing subtotal. Summary below data check box is already selected. 7. Click on OK button. - The subtotal is displayed. Note To remove all the subtotals in the worksheet, click on Data tab → Subtotal. In the Subtotal dialog box, click on Remove All button →OK button. Analysing Data with Pivot Table PivotTable helps to make the data more manageable by summarizing it and allowing you to manipulate it in different ways. The steps to create a PivotTable are: 1. Select the data (range). 2. On Insert tab, in Tables group, click on PivotTable. The Create PivotTable dialog box appears. 23 14 5 3. In Table/Range text box, the table range/name is displayed, that has been selected for the pivot table. Note: If the complete table is not selected, you can select the table manually. 4. New Worksheet option is selected by default. 87

5. Click on OK button. Note 6. The PivotTable layout appears in the worksheet (with a To rename the title in PivotTable Fields pane). cell A3, select the cell and type ‘Stu Name’. 7. Select the fields in the PivotTable Fields pane to add the report. In this example, we've selected the check boxes next to the Roll No, Stu Name, Total, Percentage. 8. The selected fields appear in the worksheet. 67 Do it Yourself Open a worksheet in Excel and do the following. 1. Create a table that contains the detail of the weekly earning of each month. 2. Select the data and find the subtotal of monthly earning. See the figure for reference. Using ‘IF’ Logical Function ‘IF’ is a logical function and it can be used for decision making in the worksheet. Conditions are passed to it as arguments and results will be returned according to the criteria of the condition. Syntax: =IF (condition, action if true, action if false) • Condition is the expression which is to be evaluated. 88

• Action if true is the value that is returned if the condition is true. • Action if false is the value that is returned if the condition is false. For example, In a game if a person gets more than 80 points then he will get a ‘Tab’, otherwise he will get a ‘Smart phone’. =IF (B2>80,“TAB”,“SMART PHONE”) You can also use nested ‘IF' condition. Syntax: =IF (condition, action if true, IF condition, action if true, action if false)) For example, to get the grade based on total marks obtained by the students in a class. =IF(C2>90,\"A\",IF(C2>80,\"B\",IF(C2>70,\"C+\",\"C\"))) Glossary Cell Reference : It identifies the location of a cell in a group of cells in the worksheet.

8 MS Excel: Presenting Data in Charts Dear Teacher, Yes Students, We have heard that We can create a we can create a variety of charts in variety of charts in Excel. Besides, we can Excel. We want to format, move and learn about them. resize them. Let’s learn about them. A chart is a pictorial representation of the data i.e. it allows us to illustrate the data graphically. A chart displays series of numeric data in a graphical format by using elements such as columns (in a column chart) or lines (in a line chart). You can create different types of graphs easily from the data in the spreadsheet. Charts once created can easily be changed in terms of the chart text, colour, size, position, etc. A chart has many elements. Some of these elements are displayed by default, others can be added as needed. You can change the display of the chart elements by moving them to other locations in the chart, resizing them, or by changing the format. You can also remove chart elements that you do not want to display. Types of Chart Column Chart There are different types of charts in Excel. Let’s have a look at some of them: Column Chart This chart displays the data in the form of vertical columns. It typically displays categories along the horizontal axis and values along the vertical axis. It allows to compare a single category of data between two or more items. 93

Line Chart In this type of chart, data is plotted in a form of line with connecting dots. It displays categories along the horizontal axis and values along the vertical axis. It shows continuous data/data trends over a period of time. Line Chart Pie Chart In this type of chart, data is displayed in the form of circles that shows the size of items in one data series, proportional to the sum of the items. Pie Chart Bar Chart In this type of chart, data is displayed in the form of horizontal bars. It displays categories along the vertical axis and values along the horizontal axis. Bar Chart Area Chart In this type of chart, data is displayed in the form of an area. It is used to show the magnitude of change over time. Area Chart Scatter Chart XY(Scatter) Chart A Scatter chart is used to show the correlations between two sets of values. A scatter chart has two value axes: horizontal axis (x) and vertical axis (y). It combines x and y values into single data points and shows them in irregular intervals, or clusters. 94

Some other types of charts available in Excel are Stock chart, Surface chart, Radar chart and Combo chart. Components of a Chart The various components of a chart are, 1. The chart area is the entire chart and all its elements. 2. X-axis or category axis is the horizontal axis of a chart. It shows the names. 3. Y-axis or value axis is the vertical axis of a chart. It shows the values/data series. 4. Axis titles are labels/titles of X-axis and Y-axis. 5. The plot area is the area of the chart bounded by the axis. 6. Data series are the 5 81 representation of data in 6 the form of bars and other 4 elements. 3 4 2 7. The legend identifies the 7 patterns or colours that are assigned to the data series or categories in the chart. 8. Chart title is the title of the chart. Creating a Chart Components of a Chart The steps to create a chart are: 1. Select the (cell) range you want to chart (including column titles). For example, A1:E6. 2. On Insert tab, in Charts 2 group, click on desired chart type. 3 1 3. Select the chart sub-type from the drop-down list. For example, Column chart and select the Clustered Columns.
