Time Narration
00:00 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Calc – Working with Cells.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn:
00:08 How to enter numbers, text, numbers as text, date and time in a spreadsheet.
00:16 How to use the Format Cells dialog box.
00:19 How to navigate between cells and in between sheets.
00:23 How to select items in rows, columns and sheets.
00:29 We will be using GNU/Linux as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:39 So, let us first learn how to enter data in the cells.
00:43 We shall open our “personal finance tracker.ods” file.
00:49 You can type any text in a particular cell by simply clicking on the cell and then typing the text, using the keyboard.
00:59 The text is left-aligned, by default. One can change the alignment by clicking any one of the alignment tabs on the Formatting Bar.
01:10 Let's undo this.
01:12 Now click on the cell corresponding to “A1” in the spreadsheet.
01:16 You see that the selected cell gets highlighted.
01:20 Here, we have already typed the column headings.
01:24 Under the heading “Items”, we shall type the names of a few items one below the other as- “Salary”, “House rent”, “Electricity bill”, “Phone bill”, “Laundry” and “Miscellaneous”.
01:38 In order to enter numbers in the cell, click on the cell and type in the numbers.
01:43 To enter a negative number, either type a minus sign in front of it or enclose it in parentheses.
01:53 By default, numbers are right-aligned and negative numbers have a leading minus symbol.
02:01 Let us undo the changes.
02:04 Now, under the Serial Number heading, denoted as “SN” in our “personal finance tracker.ods” spreadsheet, we want the serial number of each item one below the other.
02:18 So, click on the cell corresponding to “A2” and enter numbers as 1, 2, 3 one below the other.
02:28 In order to auto-fill the serial numbers, click on the cell “A4”. A little black box is visible at the bottom-right corner of the cell. Drag it till cell “A7” and release the mouse button.
02:44 You will see that the cells “A5” till “A7” get populated with the subsequent serial numbers.
02:51 After entering the serial number of the items, we will now enter the cost of each item under the heading “Cost”.
02:59 So, we click on the cell referenced as “C3” and type the expense for “House rent” as “Rupees 6000”.
03:08 Now, what if we want to precede the number with the Rupee symbol?
03:12 Let's say, we want to enter “Rupees 800” for “Electricity bill”. So, right-click on the cell 'C4' and click on “Format Cells” option.
03:24 This will open the “Format Cells” dialog-box.
03:28 The first tab is “Numbers”. Click on it, if not already selected.
03:32 Various categories can be seen under “Category” such as Number, Percent, Currency, Date, Time and many more.
03:42 Let's select Currency.
03:45 Now, under the Format option, click on the down-arrow. This will display the various currency symbols from across the world.
03:54 Let's scroll up and select INR Rupees English India. By default, Rupees 1234 is selected in the drop-down below.
04:05 You can see a preview of it in the small preview area on the right.
04:11 Under Options, we have the option to add the number of Decimal places and the number of Leading zeroes that we want.
04:20 Notice that as we increase the number of zeroes, the selection under Format has changed to Rupees 1,234 decimal zero zero, indicating 2 decimal places.
04:35 Notice the change is displayed in the preview area.
04:40 Click on Thousands separator to add the “comma” separator for each thousand. Once again, notice the change in the preview area.
04:50 One can also change the font style by clicking on the Font tab. It has various options for Font, Typeface and Size.
05:00 Explore Font Effects and the other tabs to learn more about them.
05:06 We will learn about the options in the 'Alignment' tab in another tutorial later.
05:11 Let's click on OK.
05:16 Let's type 800 and press Enter. You will notice that the number 800 is represented as Rupees 800 with 2 decimal places.
05:27 Now, let's select cells C5 to C7. Hold the Ctrl key and select cell G2 also. Notice all the selected cells are highlighted.
05:40 Right-click on any of the highlighted cells and select Format Cells.
05:46 Choose the same options as before. Click on OK.
05:51 Now, we type the expenses on all the other items one below the other as- “Rupees 600” for “Phone bill”, ”Rupees 300” as “Laundry” charges and “Rupees 2000” as other “Miscellaneous” charges.
06:06 Under the heading “Accounts”, we type the salary for the month as “Rupees 30000”.
06:13 For entering date in Calc, select the cell and type the date.
06:18 You can separate the date elements with a forward slash or a hyphen or use text such as 10 October 2011.
06:28 Calc recognizes a variety of date formats.
06:32 Alternately, one can right-click on the cell and choose “Format Cells” option.
06:38 Choose “Date” under category and the desired format under “Format”. I will choose 12, 31, 1999. Notice the display in the preview area.
06:52 Also, the Format code is displayed below as MM, DD and YYYY. One can change the Format code as required.
07:02 I will type DD, MM and YYYY. Notice the change in the preview area. Click on OK.
07:12 For entering time in Calc, select the cell and type the time.
07:18 You can separate time elements with colon such as 10 colon 43 colon 20.
07:24 Alternately, one can right-click on the cell and choose “Format Cells” option.
07:31 Choose “Time” under category and the desired format under “Format”. I will choose 13, 37, 46. Notice the display in the preview area.
07:44 Also, the Format-code is displayed below as HH:MM:SS. One can change the Format-code as required. I will type HH:MM.
07:57 Notice the change in the preview area. Click on OK.
08:03 Let us undo the changes.
08:06 After learning how to write text, numbers and dates in Calc, we will now learn how to navigate within a spreadsheet from cell to cell and from sheet to sheet.
08:17 So, we will first see how we can navigate from cell to cell within a spreadsheet.
08:23 You can simply access a particular cell by clicking on it with the cursor.
08:29 You see that the particular cell gets highlighted.
08:33 Another method of accessing a particular cell is by using a cell reference.
08:38 Click on the little black down arrow just to the right of the “Name Box”.
08:44 Now type the cell-reference of the cell you want to go to and press “Enter” .
08:49 You can even click into the “Name box”, delete the existing cell reference and type in the cell reference you want and press “Enter”.
08:58 Next we will learn how to navigate between cells in a spreadsheet.
09:03 The first method of navigation between cells is by using the cursor.
09:09 To move the focus using the cursor, simply move the cursor to the cell where you want the focus to be and click the left mouse button.
09:19 This changes the focus to the new cell.
09:22 This method is most useful when the two cells are a large distance apart.
09:28 Another method of navigation between cells are - * "Tab" to go to the next cell in a row,
09:35 ”Shift + Tab” to go to the previous cell in a row,
09:39 “Enter” to go to the next cell in a column,
09:42 “Shift + Enter” to go to the previous cell in a column.
09:46 Next, we will learn how to navigate between different spreadsheets in Calc using the keyboard.
09:53 For accessing the sheet to the right of the active sheet, press the “Control” plus “Page Down” keys simultaneously.
10:01 In order to access the sheet to the left of the current sheet, press the Control plus Page Up keys simultaneously.
10:08 You can also navigate between sheets using the cursor.
10:13 Detailed information on this is available in the tutorial “Working with Sheets”.
10:19 If you have a number of sheets then some of the sheet tabs may be hidden behind the horizontal scroll-bar at the bottom of the screen.
10:28 If this is the case then the four buttons at the bottom-left of the sheet tabs can move the tabs into view.
10:36 Let us undo the changes.
10:39 For selecting a range of contiguous cells with the cursor, first click in a cell.
10:45 Now press and hold down the left mouse button.
10:49 Move the cursor around the screen and once the desired block of cells is highlighted, release the left mouse button. You see that the selected cells are highlighted.
11:01 In order to select multiple columns or rows that are contiguous, click on the first column or row in the group.
11:09 Now hold down the Shift key.
11:12 Click the last column or row in the group.
11:15 To select multiple columns or rows that are not contiguous, click on the first column or row in the group.
11:23 Hold down the Control key and click on all of the subsequent columns or rows while holding down the “Control” key.
11:33 For selecting multiple contiguous sheets, click on the sheet tab for the first desired sheet.
11:39 Now move the cursor over the sheet tab for the last desired sheet.
11:44 Hold down the Shift key and click on the sheet tab.
11:48 All the tabs between these two sheets will turn white which indicates that they are all selected.
11:56 Any actions that you perform will now affect all highlighted sheets.
12:02 For selecting multiple non-contiguous sheets, click on the sheet tab for the first sheet.
12:08 Now, move the cursor over the third sheet tab.
12:12 Hold down the Control key and click on the sheet tab.
12:16 The selected tabs will turn white and any actions that you perform will now affect all highlighted sheets.
12:25 This brings us to the end of the Spoken Tutorial on LibreOffice Calc.
12:31 To summarize, we learned about:
12:33 How to enter numbers, text , numbers as text, date and time in Calc.
12:40 How to use the Format Cells dialog box.
12:43 How to navigate between cells and between sheets.
12:48 How to select items in rows, columns and sheets.
