How do you change the value of a cell?

You can literally type in a new value into a cell. It can also be changed by using controls, such as scroll bars, dropdown lists, spinners etc. The value a cell has may change as a result of a formula, though tecjhnically if it has a formula in it, then that is not really a value even if it shows a value, as what is actually stored in the cell is a formula.


What is an static cell information in Microsoft Excel?

Static is something that does not change. So you could answer the question in a number of ways. If you type an actual value into a cell, that value will not change. Whereas if you type in a formula, the result it will display can change, depending on other things that happen in the spreadsheet. Other static information about a cell could be the actual cell reference, and even breaking that down to the column it is on and the row it is on.Static is something that does not change.

What type of cell reference is required if a formula containing a cell reference requires that the referenced cell remain the same even if the formula is moved to another cell position?

An absolute reference.


What is the data called that is displayed in the formula bar in Excel?

It shows the cell contents which can be things like numbers, text, dates or formulas. It will always show values that are unformatted. It shows what is actually typed into a cell, like a formula, even though the cell may show an actual result of the formula.


How do you copy a formula using relative and absolute cell addresing?

When copying a formula using absolute cell addressing the formula is left in it's exact stage. No changes are made, not even symbols excluded or included. The formula stays in it's original form. When using relative cell addressing to copy a formula the formula needs to be copied without any types of symbols.


When building formulas and functions it is BEST to refer to cell addresses within that function or formula?

Yes. You should always use cell addresses in formulas rather than values. Values change, so if they are directly in a formula, you would have to keep changing the formula. It also makes the formulas more awkward to copy. By using cell references, then the values in those cells can be changed and the formula does not need to be. It also makes formulas easy to carry. Very occasionally a formula will include a value directly, but it should really only be done when you know that the value is never going to change. Even then, it is best to put the value in a separate cell and refer to it. It also makes the spreadsheet easier to follow as the value is visible on the sheet and should be suitably labelled.Yes.

When you set up a worksheet on Excel you should use cell references in formulas whenever possible rather than values?

Where possible you should always use cell references. It makes things a lot easier when you are changing or maintaining a spreadsheet. Even if you are using the exact same value in all of a set of formulas, you should put that value into one cell, and use an absolute reference in the formula to reference it. If formulas have cell references in them, then when figures change, you do not have to redo all the formulas. You just change the relevant figures and the formulas will all recalculate them.Values.


How can a change of data entered in a cell in excel affect the other cell on a different sheet?

You can have formulas on a sheet that refer to another sheet or even another file. For example on Sheet3 you could have the following formula which adds values in cells on Sheet1 and Sheet2. =Sheet1!A3 + Sheet2!C5 That would add those two values and have the result in whatever cell you put that formula. If the values in either of those two cells are changed, then the formula will automatically update the result.


How can you make one cell always equal another cell even if you insert a line above it in Excel?

In Excel, if you want a cell to always equal a specifc cell, use "$" -- for example, if you want the current cell to always equal A2, even when inserting rows or columns, use the formula: =A$2$


What happens when you change the value of a cell that is referenced elsewhere in a formula?

If the second cell uses the value from the cell that has changed, then it too is likely to change, depending on the nature of the calculation it does. Usually it will change, but not always. If it is totalling values or getting averages or something like that, then it will change. But that is not always the case. Say for example it is a value for an exam result and the other cell shows either the word "Pass" or "Fail" depending on the result. If the result was already high enough to give them a pass and then the mark was increased even further, the other cell would still say "Pass". So changing the cell would have no effect on the other cell. A formula showing the highest value in a range of cells, might not change if one of the values was changed, but didn't become the highest. A formula to count the amount of values in a range, would not change if one of the numbers was changed. Usually things will change, but sometimes it won't so it depends on the formula.


How convert small letter in capital later?

In Excel you can use the UPPER function. You can put a cell reference into it or even specific text. =UPPER("change this") This will result in CHANGE THIS. =UPPER(A3) This will display the content of cell A3 in uppercase in the cell that the formula has been typed into.


When is ' used in Excel?

You can use it to change the formatting of a cell to text, even when it contains a formula or number. If you want to type a phone number into a cell that begins with zero, then the spreadsheet will treat it as a number and won't show the zero. By putting the ' before it, it treats it as text and so the zero remains. You never do calculations with phone numbers, so it doesn't matter that it is being treated as text, although Excel can actually add text that consists purely as digits.Another time you might use it is to show a particular formula in a cell in the way it is typed in. All formulas begin with the equals sign, so an equals sign will automatically trigger a calculation and the equals sign will not show in the cell if there is something following it. By putting the ' before the equals sign, it is now treated like text and you will see the equals sign and the rest of the formula. This can be handy if you want to show the result of the formula in one cell and in another cell show the actual formula. It is possible to get Excel to show all formulas, but then you won't see the results. So if you want to see the formula and the result, type the formula into one cell and type the formula with the ' before it in another and then you will see the result in one cell and the formula in another.
