Data Validation and Function

Estimated Completion Time: 1 hour and 25 minutes (1 meeting) Objectives: 1. To be able to incorporate data validation in a cell. 2. To be able to use function in a spreadsheet such as look up and logical functions. 3. To be able to understand the importance of data validation. 4. To be able to understand the importance of function in a spreadsheet. Discussions: Excel is equipped with built in Function for easier and maximized use. Functions are special formula that has specific task that when it is used it will give result. These are support for complicated calculation such as statistics, trigonometry and the like Creating an Excel spreadsheet that will be used by other people it is important to make it as easy to use as possible, especially if the eventual users will be people who are not skilled at using Excel. Reducing the possibility of errors can make a workbook easier to use and this is where Excels data validation feature can be useful.
