00:15 | Move Sheets |
00:18 | This tutorial is recorded using
Ubuntu Linux OS version 18.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 6.3.5 |
00:32 | Let us open our Personal Finance Tracker dot ods file. |
00:37 | This file has been provided to you in the Code files link on this tutorial page.
Please download and extract the file. |
00:48 | Make a copy and then use it for practising. |
00:52 | Columns and rows can be inserted individually or in bulk. |
00:58 | First we will learn how to insert a new row or a new column in the spreadsheet. |
01:05 | In our Personal Finance Tracker dot ods file, let's click on the cell C1. |
01:12 | This cell has “Cost” written in it. |
01:16 | Now click on the Row icon in the Standard toolbar. |
01:21 | Many options related to rows are displayed in the context menu. |
01:27 | Notice 2 specific options Insert Rows Above and Insert Rows Below. |
01:35 | I will click on the option Insert Rows Above. |
01:40 | A new row gets inserted just above the cell C1. |
01:45 | Now click on the Column icon in the Standard toolbar. |
01:50 | Many options related to columns are displayed in the context menu. |
01:56 | Notice 2 specific options Insert Columns before and Insert Columns after. |
02:04 | I will click on the option Insert Columns Before. |
02:09 | A new column gets inserted to the left of the cell C1. |
02:14 | Let’s undo these changes. |
02:17 | Rows and columns can be inserted by clicking on Sheet menu in the menu bar, as well. |
02:25 | Another quick way to insert a new row or column is by right-clicking on any cell. |
02:32 | Right-click on cell C1 and click on Insert option. |
02:38 | The Insert Cells dialog box opens. |
02:42 | Here choose as per your requirement and click on the Ok button. |
02:48 | Explore these options on your own for your understanding. |
02:53 | I will skip this and click the Cancel button to close the dialog box. |
02:58 | Next, we’ll learn to insert multiple rows and columns at the same time. |
03:04 | Let’s say we want to insert 4 columns before SN which is cell A1. |
03:11 | So select the cells A1 to D1 by clicking and dragging the left mouse button.
All the 4 cells get selected. |
03:21 | Right-click anywhere on the selection and select Insert. |
03:26 | In the Insert Cells dialog box, click on the option Entire Column. |
03:32 | Then click on the OK button at the bottom. |
03:36 | Notice that 4 new columns get added before Serial Number. |
03:42 | Now click any random cell to deselect. |
03:46 | In similar manner, we can add multiple rows as well.
Explore this on your own. |
03:54 | Next we will learn about how to delete columns individually and in groups. |
04:00 | Select any one column by clicking on the alphabet of the column above, as shown. |
04:07 | Now click on the Column icon in the Standard toolbar and then on Delete Columns option.
The selected column gets deleted. |
04:18 | Suppose we want to delete more than one column at a time. |
04:23 | In my case, I want to delete these 3 columns which we inserted just now. |
04:30 | So, select the 3 columns by clicking on the alphabet of the column above, as shown. |
04:38 | All the 3 columns get selected. |
04:41 | Now click on the Column icon in the Standard toolbar and then on Delete Columns option. |
04:49 | The selected columns get deleted. |
04:53 | In a similar manner, we can delete multiple rows as well.
Explore this on your own. |
05:01 | We will now learn about how to insert and delete sheets in Calc. |
05:07 | There are several ways to insert a new sheet in Calc. |
05:12 | We will learn about each one of them one-by-one. |
05:17 | At the bottom left, we see a tab named Sheet 1. |
05:22 | There are some icons located before that. |
05:26 | When we click on the Plus icon, a new sheet named Sheet2 gets added. |
05:33 | This new sheet gets added to the right of the current one. |
05:38 | We can also add sheets by clicking on the empty area next to the Sheet tabs. |
05:46 | By doing so, the Insert Sheet dialog box opens up. |
05:52 | Using this dialog box, we can add a sheet before or after the current sheet. |
05:59 | We can also add any no. of sheets at a time. |
06:03 | Under Position, I will select Before the current sheet.
And in Number of sheets, I will specify 2. |
06:12 | And then click on the OK button at the bottom. |
06:17 | Notice that Sheet 3 and Sheet 4 get added before Sheet 2. |
06:24 | Another way to insert sheets is to click on the Sheet menu in the menu bar.
Then click on Insert Sheet. |
06:33 | On doing so, the Insert Sheet dialog box opens up. |
06:39 | I will skip this and click on the Cancel button at the bottom. |
06:44 | Next let us learn how to delete sheets. |
06:48 | Sheets can be deleted individually or in groups. |
06:53 | To delete a single sheet, right-click on the tab of the sheet you wish to delete. |
06:59 | And then, select the Delete Sheet option. |
07:03 | A confirmation dialog box pops up.
Click on the Yes button. |
07:10 | The selected sheet gets deleted. |
07:14 | How can we delete multiple sheets at a time? |
07:18 | For example, say we want to delete Sheet 2 and Sheet 3. |
07:24 | First click on the Sheet 2 tab. |
07:27 | Then holding the Shift key on the keyboard, click on Sheet 3 tab. |
07:33 | Now right-click on any one of the tabs and click on the Delete Sheet option. |
07:40 | A confirmation dialog box pops up. |
07:44 | Click on the Yes button to delete the sheet.
Both the sheets get deleted. |
07:51 | Let us undo these changes by pressing Ctrl + Z keys. |
07:57 | Sheets are named by default as Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3 and likewise. |
08:04 | Calc has a provision to rename the sheets based on our needs. |
08:09 | For example, let’s rename Sheet 2 as “Dump”. |
08:14 | Do this by simply double clicking on Sheet 2 tab. |
08:19 | Rename Sheet dialog box opens up. |
08:23 | There is a textbox with Sheet 2 written in it. |
08:27 | Delete this and type “Dump” as the new name. |
08:31 | Click on the OK button. |
08:35 | Sheet 2 tab has now been renamed to “Dump”. |
08:40 | Let us undo these changes by pressing Ctrl + Z keys. |
08:46 | We can manually rearrange the sheets by clicking on a sheet
And dragging it to the desired location. |
08:54 | Save the file by pressing Ctrl+S keys on the keyboard. |
09:01 | Now close the file by clicking the X icon on the top right corner. |
09:08 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize. |
