  • About Excel1:38
    Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that you can use to organize and manipulate information. With Excel, you can create worksheets that can perform complex calculations instantly. When your numbers in your worksheet change, Excel can recalculate the answers automatically! You also have complete control over the appearance of your worksheets. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Excel Environment- 20131:57
    Excel 2013, you are given one worksheet by default within your new, blank workbook. The default name of the worksheet is “Sheet1” and is displayed on the worksheet tab in the lower left corner of the window. You may open and close multiple workbooks within Excel without closing the entire Excel application. Even if you close all open workbooks, you will see some of the items within the Excel environment displayed onscreen within the application window. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Excel Environment- 20102:09
    The first thing that you should notice is that the Excel screen consists of two windows: the application window, and the workbook window. A workbook is the default object in Excel, much like a document is the default object in Word. It consists of three worksheets, by default. It opens up within the application window, and is where you create and modify worksheets. You may close the workbook window without closing the entire Excel application. This allows you to open and close different workbooks without having to restart the program. Learn this and more during this lecture.

    The Title Bar is the bar that runs across the top of the application window. The name of the workbook that you are working on will be displayed in the center of this bar.

  • The Ribbon2:40
    The primary tool that is available for you to use in Excel is the Ribbon. This object allows you to perform all of the commands available in the program. The Ribbon is divided into tabs. Within these tabs are different button groups of commands. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The “File” Tab and Backstage View- 2013:20101:26
    Starting in Excel 2010, the “File” tab within the Ribbon replaces the functionality of the older “Microsoft Office” button that appeared in Excel 2007. You can click the “File” tab in the Ribbon to open a view of the file called the “Backstage View.” In this view, you can perform all of your file management. This includes performing functions such as saving your file, opening an existing file, or creating a new file. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Microsoft Office Button- 2007 Only2:01
    The Microsoft Office button gives you access to your basic file management functions within Excel 2007. For upgrading users, you will find that this button replaces the functionality previously found under the “File” command in the old Menu Bar. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • Scroll Bars0:34
    The scroll bars run both vertically and horizontally in the bottom right corner of your workbook. You can click the arrows at the ends of the scroll bars to scroll through the workbook in that direction. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Quick Access Toolbar3:24
    The Quick Access toolbar is located above the Ribbon, by default. However, you can also place it below the Ribbon, if desired, by clicking the “Customize Quick Access Toolbar” button at the right end of the toolbar and then selecting the “Show Below the Ribbon” command. You can reset it to its default location by clicking the same “Customize Quick Access Toolbar” button and then choosing the “Show Above the Ribbon” command. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • Touch Mode- 20131:30
    Because of the increased use of tablets, Excel 2013 has been redesigned with a new mode to allow for easier access to the buttons and other commands within the Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar. This mode is called touch mode. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Formula Bar1:01
    The Formula Bar is located underneath the Ribbon. At its left end is the “Name Box” which displays the address of the currently selected cell in your workbook. To the right of that is the “Insert Formula” button which looks like the function (fx) sign. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Workbook Window3:17
    The workbook window is the window in which you will perform almost all of your work. Within the workbook window you will enter data into the worksheets. The names of the worksheets within a workbook are shown on tabs in the lower-left corner of the workbook. A workbook stores information much like a database table does. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Status Bar2:27
    At the bottom of the application window is the Status Bar. This tool provides you with information about your workbook. One of the most important status indicators in Excel is the “Cell Mode” status indicator. In Excel, there are three main modes that you will be able to see in this bar towards the left end: “Ready,” “Edit,” or “Enter.” If the word “Ready” appears, Excel is ready to do just about anything. This is the mode you want to be in before you begin a task. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Workbook View Buttons1:26
    The workbook view buttons are a group of three buttons located towards the lower right corner of the application in the Status Bar. You can click these buttons to change the working view of your workbook. By default, Excel will open in “Normal” view, which is the view most commonly used for standard workbook creation. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Zoom Slider1:51
    In the lower right corner of the application window, you can see the Zoom slider. You can use this to change the magnification level of the workbook. This does not modify the workbook in any way, but rather changes your perception of how close or far away the workbook appears onscreen. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • The Mini Toolbar0:38
    When you select text within a cell and hold your mouse pointer over it, you will see a small dimmed-out toolbar appear next to the selection. This is the Mini toolbar. Learn this and more during this lecture.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts3:45
    The changes to the visual interface that started in Excel 2007 changed the use of keyboard shortcuts within the application. While many things have changed, many other things have stayed the same, to assist users in the migration to Excel 2007 or later from previous versions. First off, you should be aware that all of the “Ctrl” key keyboard shortcuts remain intact. Learn this and more during this lecture.
