    An easy way to sort data when there is only one sort field is to use the Sort A to Z or Sort Z to A buttons.

    • AutoSum

    • AddSum

    Correct Answer
    A. AutoSum
    Explanation
    The AutoSum button is equivalent to using the sum button because it automatically selects the range of cells that need to be summed and inserts the SUM function for those cells. This saves time and effort for the user, as they don't have to manually select the cells and type in the SUM function.

    Although 3D Charts are visually attractive, they can obscure the relationship between the values in the chart by making it difficult to see which slice is larger.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    3D charts are visually appealing because they add depth and dimension to the data. However, this can sometimes make it challenging to accurately interpret the information presented. The use of 3D effects in charts can obscure the relationship between values, particularly when comparing the sizes of different slices or sections. This is because the added depth can create an optical illusion that distorts the perception of the data. Therefore, it is true that 3D charts can make it difficult to see which slice is larger, potentially leading to misinterpretation of the data.

    You can create at most one Excel table in a worksheet

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In Excel, you can create multiple tables in a single worksheet. Tables allow you to organize and analyze data more efficiently by providing features like automatic filtering, sorting, and formatting. By creating multiple tables, you can separate different sets of data and apply specific formatting or calculations to each table individually. Therefore, the statement "You can create at most one Excel table in a worksheet" is false.

    When you clear a filter, all filters in the worksheet are cleared

    Explanation
    When you clear a filter, only the specific filter that you cleared is cleared, not all filters in the worksheet. Therefore, the statement "When you clear a filter, all filters in the worksheet are cleared" is false.

    Correct Answer
    A. Tab
    Explanation
    After Excel displays an existing entry in the column that matches the characters you type, pressing the Tab key allows you to accept the entry. The Tab key is commonly used to move the cursor to the next cell in a spreadsheet, but in this context, it is used to accept the suggested entry and move on to the next cell for data input.
