Microsoft Excel is a robust application with many features
and options that allow you to organize and calculate data in a number of ways.
As a JAWS user, it can be frustrating to wade through all of the data in front
of you let alone create it yourself, but when armed with the right information,
it isn’t as difficult as it seems. When working with spreadsheets, remember
that not all are formatted alike, and the options for adding to an already
existing sheet or entering data into a new one altogether are endless. Knowing
important tasks as well as their corresponding keyboard commands are essential.
You want to get a clear picture of the data you are dealing with while being
able to manipulate it yourself. Here are three tips that will help you
accomplish these tasks.


Format Your Worksheets


When creating worksheets, you should consider formatting
them just as you would a document. Attributes like font, size, and color are
important, especially if you want certain areas to stand out. A well formatted
worksheet will present data in a way that is easy to read and understand.


Know Multiple Ways of Entering Formulas


If your worksheet requires calculations, you’ll want to know
the different ways you can enter formulas. One method is to manually type the
formula you want to use into a particular cell and designate the cells
containing the data to be calculated. Another is to use the “Insert Function”
option in the Formulas menu on the Ribbon. There are multiple ways of entering formulas,
so you’ll have plenty of options when working with numerical data.


Sort Your Data


Sometimes you may need to view data in chronological order
by date, or perhaps you want to sort alphabetically or numerically. You can do
this quickly with the “Sort” feature found in the Data menu on the Ribbon. This
allows you to carefully examine specific data in one place or organize your worksheet,
so the data is presented in a logical order.

Want to learn more about these tasks and much more? Join us
