Introduction
This section of The Studyzone provides links to the
material available for an Introduction to Excel 2007
course.
Excel 2007 is part of the Microsoft Office 2007 group
of software and has been the leading spreadsheet application
for many years. This new version works pretty much like
the previous versions from 97 on with some welcome features
such as improved chart graphics, better header and footer
options and the ability to handle even vaster amounts
of data with 1048576 rows and many more columns (the
last one is now row XFD!)
What everyone notices first, though, is the new 'ribbon'
instead of the familiar toolbars. These change to offer
different options depending on what is selected in a
sheet and include many new things. For most users, though,
the main functions are as they always were - you just
need to know how to find them!
Something to watch out for is the new 2007 file format.
If you wish to use files on another computer that only
has an earlier version there is a Save as Excel97-3003
option which is recommended for most users.
The links take you to a series of exercises and notes
designed to illustrate the basics as well as some additional
information on alternatives and some samples.
