This is how u can fit all the


columns properly without
selecting each one separately

if asked to format the cell to a stripped pattern , go on


home and then a small box below font

21 | P a g e

This is how you change the currency

Here you should use a lookup


function even though the if function works, vlookup shd
still be used

This is how you do it

22 | P a g e

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

this is how we do it

Example of a label

Things to remember when creating a label:


When u choose a label look at how many columns it has
a match it to the question
23 | P a g e

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

If it says that include label and the as well as the data


then u click on the label then write

then click again

on the label
Another thing is that u have to make sure that ur print
preview matches the desing shown in the question
U may need to readjust ur design in order to make all of
the labels fit on one page
This can be done by removing the page header and
report footer if not required by the question

like this (READJUSTING

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

For
Word

You sometimes have to insert section break so that one


section is completely different from the other. This is
useful when the question requires you to make the first
page diff from others, etc.! This is how you do it

More tips when solving your ict practical

Very important for PowerPoint

29 | P a g e

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

got it from Talha: they said that display size as a


number with 1 decimal place
So even if u set the number to one decimal place it wont
make a difference as it set to integer, so to solve this you
have to change from integer to double!!

30 | P a g e

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

The number across represents the no of columns in a


page
For example if there are 8 labels in total and this option
is selected then on that page there will be 2 columns and
4 rows. :D

31 | P a g e

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

This means that there should be 8


labels in total and if there arent then there is something
wrong with the design or the query itself. {wasnt like
that in 2008s exam though}

32 | P a g e

265053982

Sometimes you may have to edit your chart so right click


and select change data type and then configure your
chart according to the question!

33 | P a g e

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

The best thing to do here is to click on page break


instead of pressing enter each time as the question said
to insert page breaks where necessary.

34 | P a g e

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

This Is how you show both label and data for a LABEL:

REMEMBE
Look carefully at how I wrote Make first without Rthe

parenthesis {} and then I wrote make with the


parenthesis.
When creating labels and only when creating
labels, u should sort the data (if needed) in the
query design not in the label it self

this s considered a blank


line even though u cant click on it
35 | P a g e

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

At the start of word before they ask you to inert a blank


line after each paragraph , go on paragraph and set
spacing after and before to

0pt.

Then u add a line after each paragraph by hitting enter.

by
clicking on this option u can set the outside border to
whatever u like and still display the inner borders!!

For access remember that whenever you want to write a


formula in the report you have to follow these
procedures:

=
Function
(
The label like price, cost, VIN, model etc.
)

You have to follow the above procedures or you can just


do it this way:

~This is a summary

When u are trying to remove widows and orphans , I


dont think that you shd disturb the line spacing instead I
think that u shd insert page breaks and continuous
breaks!

Instead of using page breaks, go to page layout and hen


click on breaks and then choose Next Page

When you use this command, u can make the first page
different from the other, or make one page portrait and
the other landscape.

Example of a hanging paragraph:

NOTE: {for word}


It is very important that you also
read through all of your work to
make sure It is 100 percent
correct.
You will lose marks in the
exam if you have spelling
mistakes or errors in line
Spacing etc.
Make sure that bulleted or
numbered lists, tables, graphs
etc. are not split over two
pages.
You should also make sure that
you have no blank pages or
widows and Orphans.

This shows that font used is times new roman size is


10px
It is underlined and center aligned with disc shaped
bullet points and is italic and lastly is red in color.
You should remember that when u write times new
roman it should be written like this Times new
roman as it has spaces in between, u do not need to
do the same thing when writing Arial.

You can easily add another font by putting a comma


after font
Like after Arial just put a comma and write sans-serif.
The colour code has three parts...
55 | P a g e

265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

RED, GREEN, BLUE


Different values entered into these three parts can create
any colour required
The codes are:

FF = 100% (maximum)
C0 = 75%
80 = 50%
40 = 25%

00 = 0% (none)

Example red would be written as #FF0000


It goes in the order{for black}:
1.RED(00)
2.Green(00)
3.Blue(00)

Remember to create an anchor when asked to create a


bookmark and make sure that it does not appear in the
preview.

You can also click F12 from within FrontPage to preview your
web pages.

Here are some examples of colours:

Pure colours
use 100% (FF)

Pure RED is
FF,00,00 (100% RED, no GREEN, no BLUE)

Pure GREEN
is 00,FF,00 (no RED, 100% GREEN, no
BLUE)

Pure BLUE is
00,00,FF (no RED, no GREEN, 100% BLUE)

Pure BLACK
is 00,00,00 (no RED, no GREEN, no BLUE)

Pure WHITE
is FF,FF,FF (100% RED, 100% GREEN,
100% BLUE)

59 | P a g e

265053982

A much better way however is:

You must spell colour as color in both stylesheets and


HTML code.
An ordered list starts with <ol> and an unordered list
starts with <ul>

EXC
When you are doing your work in excel and want to save
your data , make sure to save it as excel workbook. (NOT
CSV.)
Alternative to typing in Functions
An alternative to typing in the functions manually is to use the Functions
Menu found on the Home Menu. But the one on the right is limited to
only a few functions(basic ones)

You can either select the auto sum icon or click on the
small f(x) icon beside the formula bar. These ways are
much easier than typing in commands yourself but I
would prefer to use them as a check as they can be quite
difficult to use sometimes.

Integer: is the word used to describe a Whole Number (with no


decimals or fractions).
In Excel, the INT function takes a number and removes all digits
after the decimal point.

=ROUND(A1,-1)
If this is the round function and cell A1 is 62.5512
Then the result of rounding would be 0 as the -1 sign
means that the value in cell A1 should be rounded to the
nearest 10.

COUNTIF. This looks at the cells within a given range and


counts the number of cells in that range that meet a certain
condition.
The condition can be a number, text, an inequality or a cell
reference.

The speech marks around the criteria are needed


to tell Excel that it is dealing with another formula. If
you fail to type in the speech marks, Excel will look
for the symbols typed in rather than what was
wanted.

SUMIF compares each value in a range of cells and if the


value matches the given condition it will add another
related cell to give a running total.

In excel there is no such thing as not, so when u want to


search for something not having something u have to write it
like <>
NOT criteria allow you to exclude data from your calculations.
NOT criteria are entered as this symbol <>

AN EXAMPLE

IF AND Function
An IF AND function is similar to regular IF functions in that it allows a
spreadsheet to produce outcomes.
The difference between IF AND and regular IF Functions is as follows:
Regular IF Functions can perform just one test to determine the
outcome
IF AND can perform two or more tests that all determine the outcome

If this is the question:


The word Yes if the athlete is female and their sprint time is lower
than the current world record for females
The word Yes if the athlete is male and their sprint time is lower than
the current world record for males
The word No for all other outcomes.

This is how the answer would look like:

There are 2 types of lookups


1)
Vlookup: where
data is looked up from the VERTICAL columns.
2)
Hlookup: where
data is looked up from the horizontal rows.
When u type in ?lookup then the first thing is the:
lookup value then the table array, and then from
what column or row is the data to be extracted
from and then finally if it is an exact match or not

Sometimes you need to look up the data from another


spreadsheet.
You do this by first opening that particular spreadsheet
and then in the main one type on=?lookup(cell, and then
open the spreadsheet u want to look up the data from
and highlight and then go back to the main one and
continue.
Note: you CANNOT open another spreadsheet while u r
typing in a formula.
BASIC FUNCTIONS:

Values in RELATIVE CELL REFERENCE changes if you


copy across the rows and columns
Values in ABSOLUTE CELL REFERENCE do not change
if you copy across the rows and columns

An example from a past paper

For this there are two solutions which are BOTH correct.

OR

In excel when u have to define a name for a record or


range, u cannot put a space in between it. Example:
Sales forecast would be written as Sales_Forecast.
These are the relational operators to use in excel:
=
>
<
<>
<=
67 | P a g e

Equal
Greater than
Less than
Not equal to
Less than or equal
to
265053982

~ALI Hassan Mushtaq


ICT {0417}

>=

More than or equal


to

REMEMBER: When you type the formula Vlookup in the


Formula bar and are going to write down the column
number then just remebr that it will start from the
range . example: if the range is($C$13:$E$13) and you
want to display data from column D then u will write the
column index number as 2 and not as 4. {Not sure
about this though}
If for example you write S????
This would mean that excel would search for anything
that starts with an S and has four characters followed by
it.

When asked to format rows, select them this way.
