What Is In The Dictionary ?
This workbook contains 173 worksheets, each explaining the purpose and usage of
particular Excel functions.
There are also a number of sample worksheets which are simple models of common
applications, such as Timesheet and Date Calculations.
Formatting
Each worksheet uses the same type of formatting to indicate the various types of entry.
North Text headings are shown in grey.
100
100 Data is shown as purple text on a yellow background.
100
300 The results of Formula are shown as blue on yellow.
=SUM(C13:C15) The formula used in the calulations is shown as blue text.
The Arial font is used exclusivley throughout the workbook and should display correctly
with any installation of Windows.
Each sheet has been designed to be as simple as possible, with no fancy macros to
accomplish the desrired result.
Printing
Each worksheet is set to print on to A4 portrait.
The printouts will have the column headings of A,B,C... and the row numbers 1,2,3... which
will assist with the reading of the formula.
The ideal printer would be a laser set at 600dpi.
If you are using a dot matrix or inkjet, it may be worth switching off the colours before printing,
as these will print as dark grey. (See the sheet dealing with Colour settings).
Protection
Each sheet is unprotected so that you will be able to change values and experiment
with the calculations.
Macros
There are only a few very simple macros which are used by the various buttons to
naviagte through the sheets. These have been written very simply, and do not make any attempt
to change your current Toolbars and Menus.

Using Different Monitor Settings
Each sheet has been designed to fit within the visible width of monitors with a low resolution
of 640 x 480. This ensures that you do not need to scroll from left and right to see all the data.
The colours are best suited to monitors capable of 256 colours.
On monitors using just 16 colours the greys may look a bit rough!
You can switch colours off and on using the button below.

Analysis ToolPak
What Is The Analysis ToolPak ?
The Analysis ToolPak is an add-in file containing
extra functions which are not built in to Excel. Analysis ToolPak
The functions cover areas such as Date and Check For Analysis ToolPak
Mathematical operations.
Load the Analysis ToolPak
The Analysis ToolPak must be added-in to Excel before
these functions will be available. UnLoad the Analysis ToolPak
Any formula using these functions without the ToolPak loaded will show the #NAME error.

Notes.
Column A:
I used this to keep track of the my progress. A
letter Y indicates that its been finished. This
column would have been removed if I had ever
completed the project.
Usage:
1. Click a function name in column B.
2. Then click on the View button at the top.
Protection:
Some of sheets may be protected, but there is no
password. You may find that the macros re-protect
the sheets at some stage.
If there are any passwords, try 'rainbow', I use that
as a working password during project
development.

Remember that these functions will not work
unless the toolpak is loaded. See the Analysis
Toolpak sheet for more details.

the tab for the sheet names?)

18 Example
19 The following table was used by a company testing a machine which cuts timber.
20 The machine needs to cut timber to an exact length.
21 Three pieces of timber were cut and then measured.
22 In calculating the difference between the Required Length and the Actual Length it does
23 not matter if the wood was cut too long or short, the measurement needs to be expressed as
24 an absolute value.
25
26 Table 1 shows the original calculations.
27 The Difference for Test 3 is shown as negative, which has a knock on effect
28 when the Error Percentage is calculated.
29 Whether the wood was too long or short, the percentage should still be expressed
30 as an absolute value.

22 What Does It Do ?
23 This function creates a cell reference as a piece of text, based on a row and column
24 numbers given by the user.
25 This type of function is used in macros rather than on the actual worksheet.
26
27 Syntax
28 =ADDRESS(RowNumber,ColNumber,Absolute,A1orR1C1,SheetName)
29 The RowNumber is the normal row number from 1 to 16384.
30 The ColNumber is from 1 to 256, cols A to IV.
31 The Absolute can be 1,2,3 or 4.
32 When 1 the reference will be in the form $A$1, column and row absolute.
33 When 2 the reference will be in the form A$1, only the row absolute.
34 When 3 the reference will be in the form $A1, only the column absolute.
35 When 4 the reference will be in the form A1, neither col or row absolute.
36 The A1orR1C1 is either TRUE of FALSE.
37 When TRUE the reference will be in the form A1, the normal style for cell addresses.
38 When FALSE the reference will be in the form R1C1, the alternative style of cell address.
39 The SheetName is a piece of text to be used as the worksheet name in the reference.
40 The SheetName does not actually have to exist.

13 What Does It Do?
14 This function tests a range to determine whether it is a single block of data, or whether
15 it is a multiple selection.
16 If it is a single block the result will be 1.
17 If it is a multiple block the result will be the number of ranges selected.
18 The function is designed to be used in macros.
19
20 Syntax
21 =AREAS(RangeToTest)
22
23 Formatting
24 The result will be shown as a number.
25
26 Example
27 The example at the top of this page shows two ranges coloured pink and green.
28 These ranges have been given the name PeopleLists.
29 The =AREAS(PeopleLists) gives a result of 2 indicating that there are two separate
30 selections which form the PeopleLists range.
31
32 Note
33 To name multiple ranges the CTRL key must be used.
34 In the above example the pink range was selected as normal, then the Ctrl key
35 was held down before selecting the green range.
36 When a Range Name is created it will consider both Pink and Green as being one range.

21 Example 1
22 The following table was used by a estate agent renting holiday apartments.
23 The properties being rented are only available on a weekly basis.
24 When the customer supplies the number of days required in the property the =CEILING()
25 function rounds it up by a multiple of 7 to calculate the number of full weeks to be billed.

33 Example 2
34 The following table was used by a builders merchant delivering products to a construction site.
35 The merchant needs to hire trucks to move each product.
36 Each product needs a particular type of truck of a fixed capacity.
37
38 Table 1 calculates the number of trucks required by dividing the Units To Be Moved by
39 the Capacity of the truck.
40 This results of the division are not whole numbers, and the builder cannot hire just part
41 of a truck.

50 the division to a whole number, and thus given the exact amount of trucks needed.

59 Example 3
60 The following tables were used by a shopkeeper to calculate the selling price of an item.
61 The shopkeeper buys products by the box.
62 The cost of the item is calculated by dividing the Box Cost by the Box Quantity.
63 The shopkeeper always wants the price to end in 99 pence.

65 Table 1 shows how just a normal division results in varying Item Costs.

84 =INT(E83)+CEILING(MOD(E83,1),0.99)
85
86 Explanation
87 =INT(E83) Calculates the integer part of the price.
88 =MOD(E83,1) Calculates the decimal part of the price.
89 =CEILING(MOD(E83),0.99) Raises the decimal to 0.99
