B1-G10
-
B1.G10
-
B1;G10

The correct answer is B1:G10 because the colon (:) is used to indicate a range of cells. In this case, the range starts from cell B1 and goes over to column G, and down to row 10. The colon separates the starting cell (B1) from the ending cell (G10), indicating that all cells within that range are included.Rate this question:

A spreadsheet shows in Page Break Preview that cells in Rows 1 - 25 have a white background. The cells in Row 26 that contain data have a dark gray background. When you click the Print button,
-
Nothing will print because some cells with data have been omitted
-
Only the cells with gray background will print
-
The whole sheet will print
-
Only the cells with white background will print.
Correct Answer
A. Only the cells with white background will print.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 print. On the other hand, the cells in Row 26 that contain data have a dark gray background, suggesting that they are not set to print. Therefore, only the cells with a white background will be included in the printout.Rate this question:

-

-
None of the above

To arrange rows in alphabetical order based on column A, you need to use the command "Data | Sort".

If a cell shows ####### , it means that:
-
Your formula has a syntax error
-
The row is too short to show the number at the current font size
-
The column is too narrow to show all the digits of the number
-
Either b or c
Correct Answer
A. The column is too narrow to show all the digits of the numberExplanation
If a cell shows "#######", it means that the column is too narrow to show all the digits of the number. This is because when a number is too wide to fit within the width of the column, Excel displays a series of pound signs (######) to indicate that the cell is not wide enough to display the full number.Rate this question:

The default orientation for the printed page is:
-
Portrait
-
Landscape
-
Whatever was last used
Correct Answer
A. PortraitExplanation
The default orientation for a printed page is portrait. This means that the page is taller than it is wide. Portrait orientation is commonly used for documents such as letters, reports, and essays. It is the standard orientation for most printers and word processing software. Landscape orientation, on the other hand, is wider than it is tall and is often used for documents such as spreadsheets, presentations, and graphics. "Whatever was last used" is not the default orientation, but rather a setting that remembers the last orientation used for convenience.Rate this question:
