Unit 3: Spreadsheet
1. Absolute cell reference – cell reference that does not adjust to the new cell location when copied or moved.
2. Active cell – a selected worksheet cell that is ready for data entry.
3. Alignment – the position of data within a cell.
4. Argument – value, cell reference, range, or text that acts as an operand in a function formula.
5. Ascending – sort order arranging text or numbers from A to Z, from smallest to largest, or from earliest to latest.
6. Autosum – a function that automatically adds the values in the cells directly above or to the left of the active cell.
7. AVERAGE – returns the average (arithmetic means) of its arguments.
8. Cell – the space formed by the intersection of a row and a column; the basic unit of a worksheet.
9. Cell reference – a unique identifier for a cell which is formed by combining the cell's column letter and row number.
10. Chart/graph – a graphic representation of values and their relationships: pie, line, column, bar, scattered.
11. Column – a vertical group of cells in a worksheet identified by letters.
12. Column chart – a chart that uses bars of varying height to illustrate values in a worksheet.
13 COUNT returns the number of cells in a range that contains numbers.
14. Descending – sort order arranging text or numbers from Z to A, largest to smallest, or latest to earliest.
15. Fill – to copy a cell's contents and/or formatting into an adjacent cell or range.
16. Format – arranging the shape, size, type, and general makeup of a cell or group of cells.
17. Formula – an equation that calculates a new value using values currently on a worksheet.
18. Freeze – keeps selected rows or columns visible on the screen as the rest of the worksheet scrolls.
19. Function – a prewritten formula that makes it easy to perform common calculations.
20. Label – alphanumeric text that will not be used in calculations.
21. Line chart - a chart that uses points connected by a line to illustrate values in a worksheet.
22. MAX – returns the largest value in a set of values.
23. MIN – returns the smallest value in a set of values.
24. Mixed cell reference - a cell reference that contains both relative and absolute references.
25. Operand – a number or cell reference used in a formula.
26. Operator – a symbol that indicates what mathematical operation to perform on the operands: plus (+), minus (-), multiply (*), divide (/).
27. Order of operation – the mathematical rules used for calculating the value of a formula.
28. Pie chart - a chart that shows the relationship of a part to a whole.
29. Range – selected group of cells on a worksheet identified by the cell in the upper left corner and the cell in the lower right corner, separated by a colon.
30. Relative cell reference – cell reference that adjusts to a new location when copied or moved.
31. Row – a horizontal group of cells in a worksheet identified by numbers.
32. Sort – to arrange a list of words or numbers in ascending or descending order.
33. Spreadsheet – a grid of rows and columns containing numbers, text, and formulas used to perform calculations.
34. SUM – adds all the numbers in a range of cells.
35. Value – numeric characters that can be used in a calculation.
36. What-if analysis – process of changing values in cells to see how those changes affect the outcome of formulas in the worksheet.
37. Workbook – a collection of related worksheets.
38. Worksheet – the workspace made up of columns and rows where data is entered to create an electronic spreadsheet.
