The default orientation for the printed page is _____.

When you select both cells A4 and A5 and drag the fill handle down to A8, Excel automatically fills the cells with a series based on the pattern it detects. In this case, the pattern is an increment of 2. So, starting from A6, the contents of the cells would be 6 (2+4), 8 (6+2), and 10 (8+2). Therefore, the correct answer is 6, 8, 10.Rate this question:

If the dates "07/15/00" and "July 15, 2000" were in cells that are part of formulas, they would be treated exactly the same by Excel because all dates are actually numbers no matter how they are formatted.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that Excel treats dates as numbers, regardless of their formatting. This means that the dates "07/15/00" and "July 15, 2000" would be considered the same by Excel because they are both representing the same date, just in different formats. Excel internally stores dates as sequential serial numbers, with January 1, 1900 being represented by the number 1. Therefore, regardless of the format, Excel will treat both dates as numbers and perform calculations accordingly.Rate this question:

In order for filters to work correctly, the data must be Excel list format. The rules that define sorting also define filtering.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The explanation for the given answer is that filters in Excel require the data to be in Excel list format in order to work correctly. This means that the data should be organized in a tabular format with each column representing a different attribute and each row representing a different record. The rules that define sorting, such as arranging data in ascending or descending order, also define filtering. Therefore, if the data is not in Excel list format, the filters may not function properly.Rate this question:
