Microsoft Excel

You would use the formula:

=C3+C8

unless you mean to add everything from C3 to C8. IN that case you would use the formula

=SUM(C3:C8)

Match the brief colonial history in column 1 with the country in column 2.

Early to settle but ended up with the least land of the five colonial powers: The Netherlands.

Ruled east of the line of demarcation: Portugal.

Ruled west of the line of demarcation: Spain.

Dominated northeastern North America: France

Where a row and column intersect is a cell. To enter data into a cell, first select it and then type in what you want in the cell. Finally, press enter.

There are 2 Microsoft programs you can use. The first is Microsoft Word, which is used to make any type of word document in almost any way imaginable, and is included with any version of Microsoft Office. There is also Microsoft Works, which usually comes installed on all Windows computers. It can be used to make very proffessional looking documents, and it includes a variety of templates that show you how to create documents (including resumes and cover letters).

Yes, you could. There are lots of sites that allow you to hire people to do small jobs for you, including technical ones like working with Excel. For one formula, it would be a lot of hassle to do it that way. You could ask for help on a forum such as this one and get it for free.

That question cannot really be answered as every worksheet is different and so what it is trying to achieve is different. The kinds of data you will get could also be intepreted in different ways, depending on what you want. You may be looking for different things from the same set of data. Charts themselves could be used as a way to interpret data. There are so many things you can do and reasons for doing it in a worksheet that it is not really possible to answer the question without specific data and having some idea as to what you want to do with it.

Select them and right click on them and you can change the settings of them. If you change the colours of things on the chart, the legend colours will also change.

Click on any cell, or click and drag on any range, then release. There will be a small black square in the lower-right corner of the cell or range. That's the "copy" handle, or to give it its correct name, the Fill Handle.

If you park your cursor over that square, your cursor will change from a big white plus sign to a smaller black one. This is the copy cursor. If you click and drag to extend the range, it will do a sort-of-intelligent copy of the existing cell or range into the new area.

I say "sort of intelligent copy", because if your cell contained the word "January", it will copy "February", "March", "April", and so on. If your cell contains "Quarter 1", it will fill in "Quarter 2", "Quarter 3" and "Quarter 4" before going on to "Quarter 1" again.

If your selected range contains the numbers 1 and 3, Excel will fill in odd numbers.

It is a table inside another table.

All you need to create a chart are values. If some of the values are wrong or you don't have all the values you want, the chart can still be created using the values that are there. Obviously the chart won't be accurate, but if the empty cells are included in the data the chart is based on, once you enter the missing values, the chart will automatically update itself.

A relative formula uses relative addresses. These will change when the formula is copied. Say you had columns of numbers, in columns A to G, and from row 2 to 25 in each column. Say you wanted to add up the total for each column. You could do a separate formula for each one, but using a relative formula it can be done with one formula which would then be copied. In cell A26 you could put:

=SUM(A2:A25)

That would total up the column A cells. When you copy it to B26 the references would change and the formula would now be:

=SUM(B2:B25)

You could copy it on across through all the cells to G26 and you would have totals for each column. The formula is relative. What it does is think of the cells mentioned, relative to where the formula has been entered. So the first formula doesn’t really think of A2 to A25, but the 24 cells above A26. So when it is copied to B26, the 24 cells above it are B2 to B25. This change continues as it is copied to the other cells, so that each formula adds its own set of cells.

If the formula was absolute it would specifically think of A2 to A25 and when copied across, it would still just add those cells. The absolute version would be like:

=SUM($A$2:$A$25)

The dollar signs have the effect of locking in the cell references so that they don’t change when the formula is copied. Absolute references also have their uses in other situations.

No, it is a Microsoft Office application.

In MS Word, yes. In MS Excel, no (only pictures).

Select only the column you want to hide. All of the other columns will be visible.

Your question is not clear, so if you mean how do you hide a part of a column and not the entire column, then just change the font color to white in the range you want to hide.

Repeated pound signs in Excel (e.g., ##########) means there are too many characters in the cell to be displayed in the column width. Increase the width of the column until you can see the content of the cell. Another option might be to format the cell for word wrap.

The default file name for all versions of Microsoft Excel is called "book1"

Brackets are used in different ways in a spreadsheet. Most commonly you will see them in functions, with what is needed for the function, referred to as arguments, being put inside the brackets. All functions have brackets and most require that something is put inside them. Examples include the following:

=SUM(A1:A15)

=Left(A2,5)

Brackets can be used in calculations to change the precedence of operators. This is standard from the laws of mathematics. For example, in mathematics you do all multiplications and divisions before any additions and divisions. The following calculation gives 20, not 60, because the multiplication has to be done first:

=10+2*5

To get the 10+2 done first, which will make the final result 60, you would include it in brackets, like this:

=(10+2)*5

Brackets are sometimes used to indicate negative numbers, instead of using the minus sign. The proper name for these kind of brackets or round brackets is parentheses. You will also see the curly brackets { and } which are properly called braces. They are used to indicate arrays, which are lists of values that can be used in formulas.

It is software. In particular it is an electronic spreadsheet application software.
