Preface
The manual includes now 12 experiments. Each experiment is divided into two parts, a
theoretical part that explains the theory required to carry out the experiment in a proper
manner. The second part is practical; it consists of a set of programs that the student has to
run to understand the functioning of the tools introduced in the first part. Finally, the student
has to write his own programs in order to show his understanding of the material given in
each lab session.
Hardware/Software:
Projects:
The last part of the lab is dedicated to a project in which the student is required to use all
knowledge she/he has gained in the course. The project involves understanding of the

LAB EXPERIMENT # 4
Function
PowerPoint presentations are popular in business meetings, both face-to-face and teleconferenced.
PowerPoint presentations are often used in business to present training material. Many college
professors now use PowerPoint presentations for their lectures instead of writing information on the
chalkboard or whiteboard before each class. PowerPoint presentations also are often used by students
to give in-class presentations.
Software Information
Features
23
ICT Maunal
PowerPoint software features and formatting options include a wizard that walks you through the
presentation creation process. Design templates---prepackaged background designs and font styles
that will be applied to all slides in a presentation---can be used, or you can create your own slide
design if desired using a combination of layout arrangement, background color, text font and color,
and extras such as call-out boxes, graphics (from clip art or from a file), photos, diagrams and movies.
Sound can be added to a presentation from a PowerPoint library of sounds, from a saved music file,
from a CD, or sound can be recorded using a microphone. When viewing a presentation, slide
progression can be manual, using the computer mouse or keyboard to progress to the next slide, or
slides can be set up to progress after a specified length of time. Slide introductions and transitions can
be added to the slides. For example "fade through black," "checkerboard across" or "random
transition."
Viewing Presentations
Step 2: Go to File at the top of the screen and click New. A box that says “New Presentation” should
appear on the right side of your screen.
Step 3: In the “New Presentation” dialog box, click on “From Design Template.” You may then scan
through design templates and choose one that you like.
24
ICT Maunal
Step 4: Slide Design Select a design template by clicking on the template you like. You may choose a
different color for your template by clicking on “Color Schemes” in the “New Presentation” dialog
box.
Step 5: Slide Layout Change the Slide Layout. You may change the slide layout (how information is
presented in the slide) by going to the top of the screen and clicking on “Format” – “Slide Layout.” A
box will appear on the right side of your screen (where “New Presentation” appeared) labeled “Slide
Layout.” You may select a design by clicking on it.
Step 6: Adding Text Enter your text by clicking and then typing in the box titled “Click to Add Text”
or “Click to Add Title.”
Step 7: Adding Pictures You may add pictures by clicking on the box that says “Click to add
content.” Inside that box, there will be a smaller box with six icons. Click on the icon that looks like a
photograph of a mountain. A new window will open, allowing you to browse for a picture on your
computer or a CD. Once you find your picture, click on it and then click “Insert.”
25
ICT Maunal
Step 8: Resizing Pictures You may change the size of your picture by clicking on the picture. The
picture will then have black lines around it with small bubbles or boxes in the corners. Place your
mouse over the bubbles or boxes and click. Holding the mouse pointer down, drag the picture to the
size you want.
Step 9: You’re Done! Wasn’t that easy? Now you can do it again to make more.

LAB EXPERIMENT # 5
Introduction:
What is Slide Master view?
Slide Master view is a special feature in PowerPoint that allows you to quickly modify the slides and
slide layouts in your presentation. From there, you can edit the slide master, which will affect every
slide in the presentation. You can also modify individual slide layouts, which will change any slides
using those layouts.
For example, let's say you find a theme you like but you don't like a few of the slide layouts. You
could use Slide Master view to customize the layouts to look exactly the way you want.
27

You can now add background graphics, shapes, and pictures to the slide layout. You can also move,
adjust, and delete the existing placeholders. In our example, we'll move the title placeholder to the
bottom-right corner. We've also changed the text alignment to align right instead of align left.

Access allows you to display many of its objects in multiple viewing modes. Datasheet view displays
the data in your tables, queries, forms, and reports. Design view displays options for designing your
Access objects. You can create a new table in both views. When you create a table in Datasheet view,
you enter data and Access creates the table as you type. Access determines the data type of each field
based on the data you enter. The Click to Add column shows you where to add a new field. You can
also paste data from Microsoft Excel tables into a new database and Access recognizes the data types.
Click the Create tab.

LAB EXPERIMENT # 8
The following options & formulas of MS-Excel will be used in this exercise.
1. =sum(range) or AutoSum
If you need to sum a column or row of numbers, let Excel do the math for you. Select a cell next to
the numbers you want to sum, click AutoSum on the Home tab, press Enter, and you’re done.
When you click AutoSum, Excel automatically enters a formula (that uses the SUM function) to sum
the numbers.
Here’s an example. To add the January numbers in this Entertainment budget, select cell B7, the cell
immediately below the column of numbers. Then click AutoSum. A formula appears in cell B7, and
Excel highlights the cells you’re totaling.
39
ICT Maunal
Press Enter to display the result (95.94) in cell B7. You can also see the formula in the formula bar at
the top of the Excel window.
Notes:
To sum a column of numbers, select the cell immediately below the last number in the column.
To sum a row of numbers, select the cell immediately to the right.
Once you create a formula, you can copy it to other cells instead of typing it over and over. For
example, if you copy the formula in cell B7 to cell C7, the formula in C7 automatically adjusts to
the new location, and calculates the numbers in C3:C6.
You can also use AutoSum on more than one cell at a time. For example, you could highlight
both cell B7 and C7, click AutoSum, and total both columns at the same time.
For example, when you type =12.99+16.99 in cell C5 and press ENTER, Excel calculates the result
and displays 29.98 in that cell.
40
ICT Maunal
2. =if()
The IF function can perform a logical test and return one value for a TRUE result, and another for a
FALSE result. For example, to "pass" scores above 70: =IF(A1>70,"Pass","Fail"). More than one
41
ICT Maunal
condition can be tested by nesting IF functions. The IF function can be combined with logical
functions like AND and OR.
Arguments:
Usage notes
Use the IF function to test for or evaluate certain conditions, and then react differently depending on
whether the test was TRUE or FALSE.
3. =sumif()
The SUMIF function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as a Math/Trig Function. It
can be used as a worksheet function (WS) in Excel. As a worksheet function, the SUMIF function can
be entered as part of a formula in a cell of a worksheet. The SUMIF function is a worksheet function
that adds all numbers in a range of cells based on one criteria (for example, is equal to 2000).
Parameters or Arguments
Sum_range : Optional. It is the range of cells to sum together. If this parameter is omitted, it
uses range as the sum_range.
42
ICT Maunal
Based on the Excel spreadsheet above, the following SUMIF examples would return:
=SUMIF(A:A, D2, C:C) - Result: 218.6 'Criteria applies to all of column A (ie: A:A)
=SUMIF(A2:A6, ">=2001", C2:C6) - Result: 12.6 'Criteria is greater than or equal to 2001
=SUMIF(C2:C6, "<100") - Result: 31.2 'Adds values in C2:C6 that are less than 100 (3rd
parameter is omitted)
Now, let's look at the example =SUMIF(A2:A6, D2, C2:C6) that returns a value of 218.6 and take
a closer look why.
First Parameter
The first parameter in the SUMIF function is the range of cells that you want to apply
the criteria against.
43
ICT Maunal
In this example, the first parameter is A2:A6. This is the range of cells that will be tested to determine
if they meet the criteria.
Second Parameter
The second parameter in the SUMIF function is the criteria that will be applied against the range,
A2:A6.
In this example, the second parameter is D2. This is a reference to the cell D2 which contains the
numeric value, 2000. The SUMIF function will test each value in A2:A6 to see if it is equal to 2000.
Third Parameter
The third parameter in the SUMIF function is the range of numbers that will potentially be added
together.
In this example, the third parameter is C2:C6. For every value in A2:A6 that matches D2, the
corresponding value in C2:C6 will be summed.
44
ICT Maunal
4. =countif()
Excel COUNTIF function is used for counting cells within a specified range that meet a certain
criterion, or condition.
For example, you can write a COUNTIF formula to find out how many cells in your worksheet
contain a number greater than or less than the number you specify. Another typical use of COUNTIF
in Excel is for counting cells with a specific word or starting with a particular letter(s).
COUNTIF(range, criteria)
As you see, there are only 2 arguments, both of which are required:
Range - defines one or several cells to count. You put the range in a formula like you usually
do in Excel, e.g. A1:A20.
Criteria - defines the condition that tells the function which cells to count. It can be
a number, text string, cell reference or expression. For instance, you can use the criteria like these:
"10", A2, ">=10", "some text".
And here is the simplest example of Excel COUNTIF function. What you see in the image below is
the list of the best tennis players for the last 14 years. The formula =COUNTIF(C2:C15,"Roger
Federer") counts how many times Roger Federer's name is on the list:

1. =vlookup()
Microsoft Excel boasts a huge number of handy functions and utilities, many of which go unused by
the average user. If you find yourself frequently needing to consult a table to find the same data,
however, you'll probably want to learn how to use VLOOKUP. Short for "vertical lookup,"
VLOOKUP takes advantage of vertically-aligned tables to quickly find data associated with a value
the user enters.
If you know the name of a product, for instance, and you want to quickly determine its price, you can
simply enter the product name into Excel and VLOOKUP will find the price for you. To the novice
Excel user, however, setting up VLOOKUP can look like an intimidating process -- but it needn't be.
Just follow our step-by-step tutorial on how to use VLOOKUP in Excel today.
49
ICT Maunal
50
ICT Maunal
Specify the cell in which you will enter the value whose data you're looking for. In this case, our
lookup value is H2, since this is where we will input the name of a tournament such as "PGA
Championship," so we input "H2" in the lookup_value box of the popup window. Once we've set up
VLOOKUP properly, Excel will return the tournament's Total Rating Value in cell H3 when we type
the tournament name in cell H2.
Specify the data which you want VLOOKUP to use for its search in the table_array box. In this case,
we've selected the entire table (excluding the headers).
51
ICT Maunal
Specify the column number which VLOOKUP will use to find the relevant data in the
col_index_num box. Somewhat confusingly, VLOOKUP requires you to use the numerical value of
the of the column rather than its letter value. In this case, we want VLOOKUP to use the Total Rating
Value column -- column D -- so we enter the number 4.
Specify whether you need an exact match by entering either FALSE (exact match) or TRUE
(approximate match) in the range_lookup box. In this case, we want an exact match so we enter
FALSE.
52
ICT Maunal
Enter the value whose data you're searching for. In our example, we want to find the Total Value
Rating of the PGA Championship, so we type "PGA Championship" into cell H2 and VLOOKUP
automatically produces the Total Value Rating (in this case, 914) in cell H3.
53
ICT Maunal
Using VLOOKUP, you can not only search for individual values, but also combine two worksheets
into one. For example, if you have one worksheet with names and phone numbers and another sheet
with names and email addresses, you can put the email addresses next to the names and phone
numbers by using VLOOKUP.
Questions:
Type the following worksheet.
1. You have to find out the city, departure time and terminal of Flight No. LH 5842 using vlookup
formula
2. Find out the no. of flights coming on terminal 2 using formula.

PMT function
The Excel PMT function is a financial function that returns the periodic payment for a loan. You can
use the NPER function to figure out payments for a loan, given the loan amount, number of periods,
and interest rate.
Arguments:
