ADVANCED FEATURES OF SPREADSHEET
Data is one of the most important sources for analyzing or getting proper information. Generally,
while working in office we get data under different fields but this data may be related to each
other.
Such data is kept in numerous worksheets but it is useful when the related data can be compared,
edited or manipulated. It becomes necessary to merge different data in single sheet. Spreadsheet
package is of great help in sharing, merging, referencing, hyperlinking, consolidating, etc.
HE CONSOLIDATING DATA
During this process, the ‘Data Consolidation’ function takes data from a series of worksheets or
workbooks and summaries it into a single worksheet.
To Combine Cell Contents
* Open the worksheet of District A, District B and District C that contain the cell ranges to be
consolidated.

We can add another grouping (group2) in same worksheet. For example, if we add colour and cost to the
worksheet, we can make another group showing sum of cost of jerseys colour-wise for each size.
First group finds the count of sizes available and second group displays cost of each colour for the
different jersey sizes available.

ABWHAT-IF ANALYSIS
Whatif Analysis is the most powerful feature in spreadsheet that helps to run reverse calculations,
"sensitivity analysis and scenarios comparison. Decision making is a crucial part of any business or job
role. When we talk about decisions which are informed based on data, the i
project or task is always more in control. Thus,
decisions based on data.
What-If Analysis can be done by changing the values in cells to see how those changes will affect the
‘Outcome of formulas on the worksheet. It includes many powerful tools to perform complex mathematical
calculations which can help us to experiment and answer questions with different data, even when the
dita is incomplete, Scenario, Goal Seek and Solver are the different tools of What if Analysis.

components of the ‘Goal Seek’ window:

Target Value

It specifies the reference for the cell that contains the value you want to adjust in order to reach the target.

We can click the ‘Shrink’ icon to reduce the dialog box to the size of the input field. It is then easier to
mark the required reference in the sheet. The icon is then automatically converted to the ‘Maximize’ icon.
Clicking it restores the dialog box to its original size. The dialog box is automatically minimized when you
click on the sheet with the mouse. As soon as you release the mouse button, the dialog box is restored
and the reference range is highlighted in the document by a blue frame using mouse.
Let's take an example where a student is currently scoring 67.5% aggregate and needs at least 80% to
qualify for yearly scholarship. Fortunately, he has a chance to use his Computer subject's score to raise
the aggregate. Here, Goal Seek can be used to estimate at least how much marks are to be scored in

Spreadsheet allows linking among data associated within cells from various worksheets to summarize
data from several sources.
Setting Up Multiple Worksheets
Every workbook contains at least one worksheet by default. While working with a large amount of data,
multiple worksheets can be created to organize the workbook and make it easier to find data. Worksheet
can also be grouped to quickly add information to multiple worksheets at the same time. By default,
every workbook contains a sheet named 'Sheetl’ which is managed using tabs at the bottom of the
spreadsheet, as shown below:

HICELL REFERENCE
While doing calculations or summarizing data in spreadsheet, we often find ourselves in a situation to
fetch data from other worksheets or even from different workbooks. This can be done by creating Cell
Reference. OpenOffice Calc, there are options to link different sheets and one can fetch data from different
sheets based on a common field.
A cell reference refers to a cell or a range of cells on a worksheet that can be used to find the values or
data. The main benefit of using a cell reference is when the data present in referenced cell(s) in another
worksheet changes, a value returned by the cell reference is automatically updated.
Cell Reference refers to:
* Data from one or more contiguous cells on the worksheet
* Data contained in different areas of a worksheet
* Data on other worksheets in the same workbookcreating Cell Reference to other Worksheets
To create a reference for a'cell or range of calls to anoth,
name of worksheet followed by a dot mark () before the
reference to another worksheet, following format can be
Reference to an Individual Cell
Syntax: Sheet_name.Cell_address
Example: To refer to cell Al in Sheet2, type ‘Sheet2.A1!
Reference to a Range of Cells
syntax: Sheet_name First_cellLast cell
Example: To refer to cells A1:A10 in Sheet2, type ‘Sheet2.AL:A10"
In the following example, the worksheet fu

* Refers to the worksheet named ‘Marketing’,
* Range of cells between B1 to B10, inclusively.
* Separates the worksheet reference from the cell range reference.
Notes
Hf the worksheet name includes spaces or non-alphabetical characters, you must enclose itn single
quotation marks. For example, a cell reference to cell Al in a worksheet named ‘January Sales’
should be written in this format: January Sales'!A1
Ways to create cell referencing to other sheets
There are two ways to create cell reference to other sheets:
* By entering the formula directly using the keyboard
* By using the mouse
