2. LAST CLASS Review of previous classes (renaming sheets, importing data, auto-filling, etc.). Tables. Formatting cells. Format tables (with total, average, etc.). Setting decimal places. 2

3. ASSIGNMENT DUES AssignmentDue MyITLab Lesson AFriday 01/29 Homework # 1Friday 02/05 3

4. MYITLAB MyITLAB: –Do training (Don’t skip). –Do assessment. (You get grades for doing this). Don’t know how to do anything in assessment? Go back to training question (they are exactly the same as assessment). Re-attempt a chapter unlimited number of time until you get full points (but you need to attempt and finish the entire chapter in one go). 4

5. MYITLAB Finish lesson A before Friday 01/29/2016. Each Lesson: –Chapter 1, Chapter 2,….. Finish all (assessment) chapters in lesson A (5 or 6 chapters). 5

6. MYITLAB If function. Rank.EQ function. Randbetween function. Table options (total row, first column, last column). 6

7. FORMULAS Sum: Function to calculate the sum of range of cells. E.g. “=Sum(cell1, cell2, …..)” will calculate the sum of the range of cells E.g. “=Sum(A1:A30)” will calculate the sum of range of cells in-between A1 to A30. Average: Function to calculate the average of range of cells. E.g “=Average(cell1, cell2, ….)”. 7

8. CONDITIONAL IF IF(condition, then, else) –Equal = –Not Equal <> –Less Than <, LT or Equal <= –Greater Than >, GT or Equal >= Example: If you want to assign pass or fail based on value in “C2” cell, you can do the following. =IF(C2>600, “TRUE”, “FALSE”) 8

9. RANK.EQ FUNCTION Rank items based on a given condition RANK.EQ(cell-reference or value, range of references,[order]) If [order] = 0, descending (highest value first). This is default value. If [order] = 1, ascending (lowest value first). 9

10. RANDOMBETWEEN Function to generate random numbers between given numbers. Usage: “=RANDOMBETWEEN(100, 200)” The above formula gives you a value between 100 and 200. 10
