Excel Tutorial: the basics

Spreadsheeting, Part 1:
Quick review for entering formulas and basic formatting.

  • Note: To ENLARGE the following videos, simply hit the button in the bottom right corner (right of the Volume/Speaker button and looks like a target).




Spreadsheeting, Part 2: 
Data Manipulation and Charting/Graphing.
(The last sentence ends abruptly at 5-minutes, so don't be concerned if it seems to be chopped off.)

  • Link to above video (on Screenr), or view it on Youtube


Spreadsheet, Part 3: 
Calculating the % of Increase (to measure improvement from Pre-Test to Post-Test). Piece of cake!




Spreadsheeting Part 3: 
Embedding your Data and Chart into a Blog post.










1- Illustrations: Share and Publish as a web page
2- Get a link to the published data -> select HTML to embed in a page

3- Experiment with the frame width and height (as desired)
  • The Default: width =500 may be too narrow. Try 800 or 900.
  • The Default: height=300 may be to short. Try 700 or 800.


NOTE 1: You don't have to publish All Sheets. In the above illustration, one could select the drop-down menu that says All-Sheets and select just the sheet they desire.


NOTE 2: If embedding in a Blog Post -> select the EditHTML tab to paste your embedded coding.


NOTE 3: one can edit the height="300" to a larger number to prevent vertical scrolling.
