7. What is Microsoft Excel?
Software developed and manufactured by
Microsoft Corporation that allows users to
organize, format, and calculate data with
formulas using a spreadsheet system
broken up by rows and columns. Microsoft
Excel usually comes bundled with
Microsoft Office and is compatible with
other applications offered in the suite of
products.
10. Working with conditional formatting
Let's say you have a spreadsheet with thousands of
rows of data. It would be extremely difficult to see
patterns and trends just from examining the raw
data. Excel gives us several tools that will make this
task easier. One of these tools is called conditional
formatting. With conditional formatting, you can
apply formatting to one or more cells based on the
value of the cell. You can highlight interesting or
unusual cell values, and visualize the data using
formatting such as colors, icons, and data bars.
11. Working with conditional formatting
To create a conditional formatting rule:
Select the cells you want to add formatting
to.
In the Home tab, click the Conditional
Formatting command. A drop-down menu
will appear.
Select Highlight Cells Rules or
Top/Bottom Rules.
Select a formatting style from the drop-down
menu.
The formatting will be applied to the selected
cells.
13. Working with conditional formatting
To use preset conditional formatting:
Select the cells you want to add formatting to.
In the Home tab, click the Conditional
Formatting command. A drop-down menu will
appear.
Select Data Bars, Color Scales, or Icon Sets.
Then select the desired preset.
The conditional formatting will be applied to the
selected cells.
14. Working with conditional formatting
To remove conditional formatting rules:
Select the cells that have conditional formatting.
In the Home tab, click the Conditional Formatting
command. A drop-down menu will appear.
Select Clear Rules.
A menu will appear. You can choose to clear rules
from the Selected Cells, Entire Sheet, This Table,
or This PivotTable.
You can edit or delete individual rules by clicking
the Conditional Formatting command and selecting
Manage Rules. This is especially useful if you have
applied multiple rules to the cells.
16. Paste special feature
Microsoft Excel normally copies all the information in
the range of cells you select when you paste the
data. Use Excel's Paste Special command to specify
other options, such as pasting only the cell contents
(without the formatting) or only the formatting
(without the cell contents).
To paste particular parts of a cell selection, click the
Paste button arrow on the Ribbon's Home tab. Then,
click Paste Special on its drop-down menu to open
the Paste Special dialog box.

On the Data tab, click Text to Columns in the Data
Tools group.
Choose the format of your current data. Select

comma, tab, space or semi-colon to separate the
various fields. Otherwise select Fixed Width if there
are a certain number of spaces between each field.
A preview of your selected data appears below. Click
Next.
Select type of character that separates the various
fields. You can select as many as are applicable. If
you would like to include your own characters that
aren’t listed, select the Other checkbox and enter the
specific character in the field provided.
24. Removing duplicates
Supposing you have the following range which contains some
duplicate rows, to remove duplicate rows from a worksheet in
Excel, you can according to following steps:
Select the range you want to remove duplicate rows. If you
want to delete all duplicate rows in the worksheet, just hold
down Ctrl + A key to select the entire sheet.
On Data tab, click Remove Duplicates in the Data Tools
group.
In the Remove Duplicates dialog box, leave all the
checkboxes checked under Columns list box, and if your
data contains headers, please check My data has headers
option.
Then click OK, a prompt box will pop out to tell you the
removing result, and all identical rows are removed except
for the first identical row.
26. To filter data
In order for filtering to work correctly, your worksheet should
include a header row, which is used to identify the name of
each column.
Select the Data tab, then click the Filter command.
A drop-down arrow will appear in the header cell for each
column.
Click the drop-down arrow for the column you wish to filter.
The Filter menu will appear.
Uncheck the box next to Select All to quickly deselect all
data.
Check the boxes next to the data you wish to filter, then click
OK.
The data will be filtered, temporarily hiding any content that
doesn't match the criteria.
Filtering options can also be accessed from the Sort & Filter
command on the Home tab.
27. To apply multiple filters
Filters are cumulative, which means you can apply
multiple filters to help narrow down your results.
Click the drop-down arrow for the column you wish
to filter.
The Filter menu will appear.
Check or uncheck the boxes depending on the data
you wish to filter, then click OK.
The new filter will be applied.
28. To clear a filter
After applying a filter, you may want to remove, or
clear, it from your worksheet so you'll be able to filter
content in different ways.
Click the drop-down arrow for the filter you wish to
clear.
The Filter menu will appear.
Choose Clear Filter From [COLUMN NAME] from
the Filter menu.
The filter will be cleared from the column. The
previously hidden data will be displayed.
To remove all filters from your worksheet, click the
Filter command on the Data tab.
29. Advanced filtering
If you need to filter for something specific,
basic filtering may not give you enough
options.
Fortunately, Excel includes many
advanced filtering tools, including
search,
text, .
date, and
number filtering, which can narrow your
results to help find exactly what you need.
31. Grouping

Select the rows or columns you wish to group.
Select the Data tab on the Ribbon, then click the
Group command.
The selected rows or columns will be grouped.
To ungroup data, select the grouped rows or columns,
then click the Ungroup command.
To hide and show groups:
To hide a group, click the Hide Detail button .
The group will be hidden. To show a hidden group,
click the Show Detail button .
32. Creating subtotals
The Subtotal command allows you to automatically
create groups and use common functions like SUM,
COUNT, and AVERAGE to help summarize your
data. For example, the Subtotal command could help
to calculate the cost of office supplies by type from a
large inventory order. The Subtotal command will
create a hierarchy of groups, known as an outline,
to help organize your worksheet.
34. Freezing Panes
Freeze panes to lock specific rows or
columns
On the worksheet, do one of the following:
To lock rows, select the row below the row or rows that
you want to keep visible when you scroll.

column or columns that you want to keep visible when
you scroll.
