CURSOR, Spreadsheet

Page 113 highlights

Fill Sort This function is useful when you want to quickly number rows or columns, or when you need numbers in a range in order to check how math functions are working. Columns are filled from top to bottom. Rows are filled from left to right. In the case of a range, the first column is filled first, then the second, etc. 1. Move the cursor to a corner of the range of cells that you want to fill and press MENU and select Edit; then select Fill from the function menu. The machine asksyou to specify thethe range. Proceed as with the Leftfunction. After the range is specified, the FILL window appears: STARTING VALUE. JUMPING VALUE: . ENDING VALUE: I Type number and press RETURN. 2. Use CURSOR UP and CURSOR DOWN to move the cursor to the desired setting. Use the numeric keys to enter the specifications. Press RETURN when finished. • STARTING VALUE: The first number of the arithmetic progression. • JUMPING VALUE: The difference between two successive values, • ENDING VALUE: The value that the arithmetic progression cannot exceed. The cells are filled up to the ENDING VALUE (or the closest value less than it) or up to the last cell of the range, whichever comes first. Example: If the STARTING VALUE is 5, the JUMPING VALUE is 4, and the ENDING VALUE is 26 __you will get the numbers: 5, 9, 13, and 17. (Because 21 is higher than the ENDING VALUE, it is not included.) This function is used to rearrange your worksheet. When you update a worksheet, you usually add data at the end of the file. To facilitate later reference, however, you need some logical organization. Alphabetical order is commonly used. The sorting feature explained here will save you time and effort in the organization of your data. 1, Move the cursor to a corner of the range of cells that you want to sort and press MENU and select Edit; then select Sort from the fill-lc-6cm menu. The machine asks you to specify thethe range. Proceed as with the Left function, but be careful to select all the information of the rows. For example, if you have data in columns A to E and you select only columns A to D in your range, the cells in column E will not be moved along with the cells in columns A to D and it will be impossible to reverse this situation automatically. After the range is specified, an arrow cursor appears above the worksheet. A message willaskyou to move the arrow cursor to select the column ofthe range according to the data to be sorted. Move cursor to primary sort column and press RETURN. Spreadsheet 105

Fill
This
function
is
useful
when
you
want
to
quickly
number
rows
or
columns,
or
when
you
need
numbers
in
a
range
in
order
to
check
how
math
functions
are
working.
Columns
are
filled
from
top
to
bottom.
Rows
are
filled
from
left
to
right.
In
the
case
of
a
range,
the
fi
rst
column
is
fi
lled
first,
then
the
second,
etc.
1.
Move
the
cursor
to
a
corner
of
the
range
of
cells
that
you
want
to
fill
and
press
MENU
and
select
Edit;
then
select
Fill
from
the
function
menu.
The
machine
asks
you
to
specify
thethe
range.
Proceed
as
with
the
Left
function.
After
the
range
is
specified,
the
FILL
window
appears:
Sort
STARTING
VALUE.
JUMPING
VALUE:
.
ENDING
VALUE:
<<FILL>>
I
Type
number
and
press
RETURN.
2.
Use
CURSOR
UP
and
CURSOR
DOWN
to
move
the
cursor
to
the
desired
setting.
Use
the
numeric
keys
to
enter
the
specifications.
Press
RETURN
when
finished.
STARTING
VALUE:
The
first
number
of
the
arithmetic
progression.
JUMPING
VALUE:
The
difference
between
two
successive
values,
ENDING
VALUE:
The
value
that
the
arithmetic
progression
cannot
exceed.
The
cells
are
filled
up
to
the
ENDING
VALUE
(or
the
closest
value
less
than
it)
or
up
to
the
last
cell
of
the
range,
whichever
comes
first.
Example:
If
the
STARTING
VALUE
is
5,
the
JUMPING
VALUE
is
4,
and
the
ENDING
VALUE
is
26
__you
will
get
the
numbers:
5,
9,
13,
and
17.
(Because
21
is
higher
than
the
ENDING
VALUE,
it
is
not
included.)
This
function
is
used
to
rearrange
your
worksheet.
When
you
update
a
worksheet,
you
usually
add
data
at
the
end
of
the
file.
To
facilitate
later
reference,
however,
you
need
some
logical
organization.
Alphabetical
order
is
commonly
used.
The
sorting
feature
explained
here
will
save
you
time
and
effort
in
the
organization
of
your
data.
1,
Move
the
cursor
to
a
corner
of
the
range
of
cells
that
you
want
to
sort
and
press
MENU
and
select
Edit;
then
select
Sort
from
the
fill-lc-6cm
menu.
The
machine
asks
you
to
specify
thethe
range.
Proceed
as
with
the
Left
function,
but
be
careful
to
select
all
the
information
of
the
rows.
For
example,
if
you
have
data
in
columns
A
to
E
and
you
select
only
columns
A
to
D
in
your
range,
the
cells
in
column
E
will
not
be
moved
along
with
the
cells
in
columns
A
to
D
and
it
will
be
impossible
to
reverse
this
situation
automatically.
After
the
range
is
specified,
an
arrow
cursor
appears
above
the
worksheet.
A
message
will
ask
you
to
move
the
arrow
cursor
to
select
the
column
of
the
range
according
to
the
data
to
be
sorted.
Move
cursor to primary sort
column
and
press
RETURN.
