2. It is possible in Excel to insert a new row in a range of cells without affecting the entire row on the worksheet.

Explanation

In Excel, it is possible to insert a new row within a specific range of cells without affecting the entire row on the worksheet. This can be done by selecting the range of cells where the new row needs to be inserted, right-clicking on the selection, and choosing the "Insert" option. This will shift the existing cells down and create a new row within the selected range, without affecting the rest of the worksheet.

Submit
3. On an Excel sheet the active cell is indicated by ____.

Explanation

The active cell on an Excel sheet is indicated by a darker wide border. This border helps to identify which cell is currently selected and ready to receive input or perform actions. It stands out from the other cells, making it easier for users to navigate and work with the spreadsheet. The darker wide border serves as a visual cue to indicate the active cell's location and status.

Submit
4. When you enter data into a cell and press the Enter key on the keyboard, the cursor will move to ___?

Explanation

When you enter data into a cell and press the Enter key on the keyboard, the cursor will move to the cell below the cell where you entered the data. This is the default behavior in most spreadsheet software, including Microsoft Excel. Moving to the cell below allows the user to easily continue entering data in a columnar fashion.

Submit
5.  Once you go to print preview mode, you either have to print or cancel because there is no way to go back and edit your spreadsheet after you have gone that far.

Explanation

In print preview mode, you can still go back and edit your spreadsheet. This means that you have the option to make changes to your spreadsheet even after entering print preview mode. Therefore, the statement "Once you go to print preview mode, you either have to print or cancel because there is no way to go back and edit your spreadsheet after you have gone that far" is false.

Submit
6. The cell reference for a range of cells that starts in cell B1 and goes over to column G and down to row 10 is _____.

Explanation

The cell reference for a range of cells that starts in cell B1 and goes over to column G and down to row 10 is B1:G10. This is because the colon (:) is used to indicate a range of cells, and B1:G10 represents all the cells from B1 to G10 in a rectangular shape.

Submit
7. Which of the following is a description of the pie chart?

Explanation

The correct answer describes a pie chart as displaying one data series as a whole, with each part representing a percentage of the whole. This means that a pie chart is used to show the composition or distribution of a single data set. It is commonly used to represent proportions or percentages in a visually appealing way, where the size of each slice of the pie corresponds to the relative magnitude of the data it represents.

Submit
8. A cell is ___?  

Explanation

A cell is the intersection of the row and column in a spreadsheet. This is where data can be entered and calculations can be performed using formulas. Each cell is identified by a unique reference, such as A1 or B5, which indicates its position in the spreadsheet grid.

Submit
9. To select several cells or ranges that are not touching each other, you would _____ while selecting.

Explanation

To select several cells or ranges that are not touching each other, you would hold down the CTRL key while selecting. Holding down the CTRL key allows you to select multiple non-contiguous cells or ranges by clicking on each of them individually. This key modifier is commonly used in spreadsheet software to make non-sequential selections.

Submit
10. To select a column the easiest method is to _____.

Explanation

To select a column, the easiest method is to click the column heading. This is because the column heading represents the entire column and clicking on it will automatically select the entire column. This method is quick and efficient as it allows the user to easily select the desired column without the need for any additional steps or actions.

Submit
11. If you make a mistake when you create a chart using the wizard, you will have to start again by selecting the range and proceeding through the chart wizard.

Explanation

If you make a mistake when creating a chart using the wizard, you do not have to start again by selecting the range and proceeding through the chart wizard. The chart can be edited or modified after it has been created, allowing you to fix any mistakes without having to start from scratch.

Submit
12. All text that appears on a chart must be formatted in the same font so that it will have a unified appearance.

Explanation

The statement is false because it is not necessary for all text on a chart to be formatted in the same font. Different fonts can be used to highlight different sections or emphasize certain information on the chart. This can help to improve readability and draw attention to important details. Therefore, the text on a chart can be formatted in different fonts to achieve a desired visual effect.

Submit
13. The view that puts a blue line around each page that would be printed is the _____.

Explanation

The view that puts a blue line around each page that would be printed is the Page Break Preview. In this view, users can see how the content of their document will be divided and displayed on each printed page. The blue line represents the page breaks, allowing users to adjust and modify the layout accordingly. This view is particularly useful for ensuring that the document is properly formatted and that no important content is split between different pages when printed.

Submit
14. If you press _____, the cell accepts your typing as its contents but the focus stays in the cell

Explanation

Pressing CTRL + Enter allows the user to input their typing into the cell as its contents, but the focus remains in the cell. This means that after entering the text, the user can continue editing or performing other actions within the same cell without having to click on another cell. This shortcut is commonly used in spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel to quickly input data and move to the next line within the same cell.

Submit

16. A 3D refernce means

Explanation

A 3D reference in a spreadsheet refers to a formula that includes cells from multiple worksheets.

This can be useful when you need to perform calculations or analysis that involve data from different sources or categories within your spreadsheet.

Submit
17. AutoCalculate will quickly add selected cells if you _____ .

Explanation

To quickly add selected cells in Excel, you can right-click on the status bar and select SUM. This action will instantly display the sum of the selected cells in the status bar at the bottom of the Excel window.

Submit
18. Using the AutoSum button will place in the selected cell _____.

Explanation

When using the AutoSum button, it will not place anything in the selected cell until you select a range of cells. This means that the AutoSum button will not automatically calculate the sum of values in the cell's column or the sum of the cell's row. It also does not automatically create a formula that adds values in a range guessed by Excel. The AutoSum button simply waits for the user to select a range of cells before performing the desired calculation.

Submit
19. A certain spreadsheet shows in Page Break Preview that cells in Rows 1 - 25 have white background. The cells in Row 26 that contain data have a dark gray background. When you click the Print button,  _____.

Explanation

When you click the Print button, only the cells with a white background will print. This is because the Page Break Preview shows that cells in Rows 1-25 have a white background, indicating that they are set to be printed. On the other hand, the cells in Row 26 with a dark gray background are not set to be printed. Therefore, when you click the Print button, only the cells with a white background will be included in the printout.
