Chapter 2: Working with Large Worksheets and Tables

• A lot of this material is just “hands on” – How do I do that in Excel– You can do that in Excel?

• Figure it out now… you won’t remember it unless you use it regularly– Which you won’t– Google “How do I do XXX in Excel 2010”

• Critical:– If you didn’t have more data than fits on the screen,

you probably wouldn’t bother with Excel…

Things Alice prepared you to do

• “Debug” how to freeze rows/columns– Who can remember when you highlight say row 5 and

select freeze panes• Will it keep rows 1-4 always visible or 1-5?• Try one, observe, know what to try next if it doesn’t go as you

want it…

• Lock cells:– Boolean condition attached to cell: property – on or off

(Alice had properties too!)• Abstraction (breaking big problems into smaller ones)– Excel file -> worksheets
