Microsoft Excel Starter 2010 is a spreadsheet program designed for everyday tasks such as setting up a budget, maintaining an address list, or keeping track of a list of to-do items. Excel Starter is part of Microsoft Office Starter 2010, and comes pre-loaded on your computer.

Excel Starter 2010 is very similar to Microsoft Excel 2010 in appearance. If you are new to the Ribbon interface or the Backstage view, Excel Starter gives you an opportunity to get accustomed to the new interface before upgrading to Excel 2010.

Excel Starter differs from the complete version of Excel in that it includes display advertising, and it does not support the advanced features of the complete version of Excel. If you find that you want more features, you can upgrade to Excel 2010 right from Excel Starter 2010. Just click Purchase on the Home tab on the ribbon.

Change the order

When you sort information in a worksheet, you can see data the way you want and find values quickly.

Select the data that you want to sort

Use the mouse or keyboard commands to select a range of data, such as A1:L5 (multiple rows and columns) or C1:C80 (a single column). The range can include titles that you created to identify columns or rows.

1. Select a single cell in the column on which you want to sort.

2. Click the top button to perform an ascending sort (A to Z or smallest number to largest).

3. Click the bottom button to perform a descending sort (Z to A or largest number to smallest).

Filter out extra information

By filtering information in a worksheet, you can find values quickly. You can filter on one or more columns of data. You control not only what you want to see, but also what you want to exclude.

1. Select the data that you want to filter

2. On the Home tab, in the Edit group, click Sort & Filter, and then click Filter.

For more help with filtering, see Quick start: Filter data by using an AutoFilter.

Calculate data with formulas

Formulas are equations that can perform calculations, return information, manipulate the contents of other cells, test conditions, and more. A formula always starts with an equal sign (=).

Select a cell and start typing

In a cell, type an equal sign (=) to start the formula.

Fill in the rest of the formula

• Type a combination of numbers and operators; for example, 3+7.

• Use the mouse to select other cells (inserting an operator between them). For example, select B1 and then type a plus sign (+), select C1 and type +, and then select D1.

• Type a letter to choose from a list of worksheet functions. For example, typing 'a' displays all available functions that start with the letter 'a.'

Complete the formula

To complete a formula that uses a combination of numbers, cell references, and operators, press ENTER.

To complete a formula that uses a function, fill in the required information for the function and then press ENTER. For example, the ABS function requires one numeric value — this can be a number that you type, or a cell that you select that contains a number.

Chart your data

A chart is a visual representation of your data. By using elements such as columns (in a column chart) or lines (in a line chart), a chart displays series of numeric data in a graphical format.

The graphical format of a chart makes it easier to understand large quantities of data and the relationship between different series of data. A chart can also show the big picture so that you can analyze your data and look for important trends.

1. Select the data that you want to chart.

   Tip The data should be arranged in rows or columns, with row labels to the left and column labels above the data — Excel automatically determines the best way to plot the data in the chart.

2. On the Insert tab, in the Charts group, click the chart type that you want to use, and then click a chart subtype.

   Tip To see all available chart types, click to launch the Insert Chart dialog box, and then click the arrows to scroll through the chart types.

3. When you rest the mouse pointer over any chart type, a ScreenTip displays its name.

For more information about any of the chart types, see Available chart types.

Note Using commands for sending e-mail attachments requires that you have an e-mail program, such as Windows Mail, installed on your computer.
