Excel has no relation to Active Directory. If you have permission to import, you should be able to import directly from a CSV file, and not have to import into Excel first. Check with your systems or network administrator to see how your specific network Active Directory is configured.

If you want to put paragraph returns into your text in Excel, hitting the Enter key would normally stop you from editing your selected cell. However, if you hold down Alt+Enter, it puts a return in your text.

You can also format the cell to allow the text to "wrap" within the cell. Additionally, you can center, right or left justify the text.

In Excel, cell selection is accomplished by highlighting the desired cells. This is done by bringing the cursor to the desired cell, left clicking and holding the button down while dragging the mouse. So click on A3 and drag down to F3.

In print preview, there is an option to align your printed page. Just click on the box in front of the option you want. Click again to remove the check mark and go back to normal page alignment.

There are several ways. The simplest is to use the mouse. Click on the first cell you want. Then holding the left mouse button, drag out over the area you want to select. Another is to click on the initial cell and then holding the Shift key down, use the arrow keys to select in the direction you want. Another way is to click on the first cell and press the F8 key. Then using the arrow keys select in the direction you want.

You could call it highlighting but more commonly you would call it selecting.

An IF function or formula is just like a SUM or an AVE formula. Select the cell into which you want to put an IF formula. The structure of an IF formula is:

=IF(test clause,action if test clause is true,action is test clause is false)

For example: in cell A1 is the number 2 and in cell B1 is the number 3. In cell B3 you want to write an IF formula to test the total of cells A1 and B1. If the total of these cells is 5 the formula should return the number 5. If the total of these cells is not 5 the formula should return a text string of "No, the total is not 5".

The formula would be written as follows:

=IF(A1+B1=5,A1+B1,"No, the total is not 5")

A workbook in Excel is a collection of worksheets. A worksheet is an arrangement of rows and columns, making up cells into which various types of data and formulas can be entered. Each row is numbered. Each column is headed by a letter or combination of letters.
An Excel workbook is basically an Excel file, containing one or more Worksheets. They are individual spreadsheets in your document.

Spreadsheets allow rapid calculation of complex equations with multiple values. The are extremely effective and processing large numbers of calculations and presenting results in a form that can be easy to read.

They are not infallible however, A common source of error is caused by erroneous data or formulae. An error in a formula can be difficult to track down as they are not normally visible when viewing a spreadsheet. A formula that is wrong can go un-noticed and cause repeated errors in results that may not be noticed.

Tip text, identifying the series, the point and the value of the data, or the name of an element, such as an axis or the wall of the chart.

An argument is something inside the brackets of a function that is needed for it to work. An optional argument is an argument that can be left out, in which case a default value is often used. So the function will work with or without the optional argument.

For example, if you are using the MATCH function you must specify what it is searching for and the range it is searching in. Those two arguments have to be put in, or it won't work. You can also specify what way it searches, using an optional argument. The MATCH function will find the largest value that is less than or equal to what you searching for if you put in 1, with the values in ascending order. Putting in 0 means it must find an exact match. It will find the smallest value that is less than or equal to what you searching for if you put in -1, with values having to be in descending order. If you leave it out completely, it uses 1 as the default.

Press the show/hide button on the keyboard.
