Overview Discussion You are asked to use Microsoft Excel to complete menu projects. This session will build on the computer skills introduced in Food Systems Management I to further your knowledge of Excel and help you to complete the menu project. The menus used in this Excel course are for illustration purposes to teach you how to use Excel. The menus may not meet the requirements of the project as assigned by your instructor. Objectives In this course, you will learn to:

Plan a workbook with multiple sheets

Insert sheets

Move sheets

Rename sheets Type on more than one sheet at a time

Use copy and paste

Use autofill

Move data with cut and paste

Move data with drag and drop

Use borders

Use shading

Use the Page Setup dialog box

Lesson 1: The Excel Windows Open Excel to review its windows. To do that, click on the Start Button or Office globe and trace to (All) Programs > Microsoft Office > Excel and click on Excel.

This screenshot shows the basic elements of the Excel windows.

When you begin a new workbook, Excel will give you one sheet. You can create additional sheets and delete any sheet. The workbook must have at least one sheet. When you save your work, all the sheets in a workbook are saved in one file, under one file name. Each sheet in the workbook consists of a series of columns identified by lettered column headings and a series of rows identified by numbered row headings. Columns are assigned alphabetic labels from A to XFD (16,384 columns). Rows are assigned numeric labels from 1 to 1,048,576 (1,048,576 rows).

A cell is the rectangular area where a column and a row intersect. Each cell is identified by a cell reference, such as A1, which is its column and row location. The active cell is the cell in which you currently are working. Excel identifies the active cell with a dark border that outlines one cell. In the example above, cell A1 is the active cell.

Lesson 2: Planning a Workbook with Multiple Sheets Planning the menu project before beginning to type will save you some time and effort. The overall appearance of one day’s menus is the same as any other day’s menus, so planning a form to use for each day will make the work in Excel easier. The Plan What happens 1. In the menu project that you are

assigned, you need to have one week of menus. Each day of the week is to appear on one sheet of paper. One way to do this is to place each day’s menus on its own sheet, so that there are seven sheets in the workbook.

2. The overall appearance of each of the seven sheets will be the same. • The day of the week will appear in

cell A1. Row 2 will be used for the diet labels.

• The meal names, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, will appear in the first column on the left.

• For each meal, ten rows are allotted for menu items.

3. There are five (5) diets to include.

Each menu item in a diet needs to have its portion size (PS) indicated. These labels will be in row 2.

4. Formatting the labels for the columns and rows will make the menus easier to read.

5. When the form is typed and formatted for one day, the form will be typed and formatted for all the days of the week at the same time.

With one set of typing and formatting, the form is created on all seven days.

Lesson 3: Inserting, Moving, and Renaming Sheets When a new workbook is opened in Excel, it will have one sheet by default. In the plan for the menu project, seven sheets are required. There will be a sheet for each day of the week. Part A: Inserting a Sheet What you do What happens 1. Open Excel.

Lesson 4: Typing Simultaneously on Multiple Sheets Usually, when you type or format cells, only one sheet is active. If several sheets require the same typing or format, you can select the appropriate sheets, so all those sheets are active. Then, type or format at once on the active sheets Part A: Making Multiple Sheets Active What you do What happens 1. Note that the Sunday sheet is the active

sheet. Active sheets are indicated by a bright white tab.
