What is the visual representation of worksheet data?

The source files used to install office. They are usually on CD/DVD or a network share.

Check with your systems administrator. You will not be able to access a spreadsheet stored on a drive unless you have permissions to access the drive AND the drive is available on the network.

If you click it once and then apply formatting, it will turn itself off automatically. If you double click it, it will turn it on and allow you to do multiple formatting, pasting formatting onto anything you click. If you click the Format Painter again, it will turn it off.

Yes, a range is a contiguous block of cells.

If text is too wide to fit in a cell and you do not want to widen the column, you can wrap the text so it appears on several lines in the same cell.

Text should normally default to left alignment.

Text is usually aligned to the left.

Yes.

The MODE function retrieves the most commonly occurring value in a set. To get the mode of the values in cell A2 to A30 you would have:

You can use the Formatting options to change the data type. It will depend what you want to change. Commonly numbers typed in show as dates, as the cell has been set to date type. Changing the formatting to number or currency or whatever you need will change it. Press Ctrl - 1 to quickly access the Format Cells dialog box.

Time, as a conceptual framework for measuring the progression of events, doesn't have a specific date of origin. However, various systems of timekeeping have been developed throughout history, with ancient civilizations like the Sumerians and Egyptians creating calendars and timekeeping methods thousands of years ago. The modern understanding of time, based on the atomic clock and the second as a unit, was formalized in the 20th century. Thus, time itself is a continuous phenomenon rather than something that was created on a specific date.

The FREQUENCY function would do it. You could have your list of actual scores in a column and then create a list of each score just once, and put them into a column. Then beside that you select the corresponding blank cells and would put the FREQUENCY function in the first cell, using the references to your original scores and possible scores as the arguments. Then press Ctrl - Shift - Enter to fill out all the cells as an array formula. So say your actual scores were in the cells A2 to A50, and all possible scores were in B2 to B100, the in C2 you would put:

=FREQUENCY(A2:A50,B2:B100)

It would then appear as:

{=FREQUENCY(A2:A50,B2:B100)}

In column C a value for the amount of all scores would be listed beside each score in column B.

It usually does work. It may appear to have not done what you want for different reasons. For example, it does not overwrite formatting in another cell. So if you copied the value 3 from one cell and pasted it into a cell that had been formatted as Percentage, you would get 300% and not 3 in the new cell. That might appear to some as the paste value not having worked but it is correct. So if you are having a problem, examine what is happening, looking at both the source and destination and what results you get.

In Excel, the options allow you to adjust your print output, as desired. The most helpful option is to let Excel automatically scale your spreadsheet to fit on a single printed page.
