Working with cells
To clear contents or formatting from cells, select the
cells, and press Clear. If you select Formats, the
formatting of the selected cells is removed, but the
content remains. The default style is used. If you select
Contents, the content of the selected cells is deleted,
but the formatting stays the same. All clears both
formatting and contents of the selected cells.
To insert cells, select the area where you want to insert
new cells, press Menu, and select Insert → Cells. You
can insert cells above (Shift cells down) or to the left
(Shift cells right) of the selected range. If you have
selected only one cell, only one new cell is inserted, and
if you have selected a range of cells, a corresponding
range of blank cells is inserted. To insert a new row or
column, select Entire row or Entire column, and press
OK.
To rearrange the order of cells, select the cells, press
Menu, and select Tools → Sort → Top to bottom or
Left to right. On the 1st column or 1st row page,
select the direction of sorting, and to sort by case,
select Yes in the Case sensitive field. If you have
selected more than one row or column, move to the
second and third page to sort the next column or row.
To insert a function into a selected cell, press Insert
function in the worksheet. Functions are used to
automate calculations. You can choose from different
function categories, and each category has a set of
functions. For example, MIN finds the lowest value in
the numeric contents of a selected range of cells,
AVERAGE calculates the average of the values, and SUM
adds the values together. Once you have selected a
function, press Done. The function is inserted into the
selected worksheet cell. On the worksheet, press Point
reference, select the cells you want to include in the
function with Shift+joystick, and press OK.
Example: You want to add up the numbers in
cells C2 to C6 and have the results appear in cell
C7. Select cell C7, and press Insert function.
Select the function SUM, press OK, and press
Done. Press Point reference, select the cell
range C2 to C6 with Shift+joystick, and press
OK. The sum appears in cell C7.
To name a cell, select the cells you want to name, press
Menu, and select Insert → Name → Add. Enter the
name for the cell or range of cells. The coordinates of
the cells you have selected on the worksheet are
automatically inserted in the Value field. You can enter
new coordinates to change the cell selection. You can
also enter numbers or letters for use in different
functions.
Tip: You can use cell names to make calculating
functions easier to understand. For example,
cells named Rent and Groceries could be
subtracted from a cell named Salary when
calculating the money left for leisure activities
after monthly living costs.
