Section C. Critical Thinking (8 pts) - answer in question in paragraph format (at least 5-6
sentences)
1) How are colons and commas used in Excel when writing arguments? In an argument,
individual values or cell reference inside the parentheses must be separated by colons or
commas. Even though they are both used for this, they can be used for one specific thing. Colons
can be used to create a reference to a range of cells. Commas can be used to separate individual
value, cell reference, and ranges. If there is more than one argument they must be separated by a
comma.
2) Which Excel functions would a small business owner use often? Explain how and why.
Teachers could use Excel daily, it is a good way to be organized. Some teachers could use for
attendance, test results, events that need planning, etc. A P. E coach could use Excel often by
calling attendance, remembering what to do in warm-ups or practice drills, notes on other teams,
weaknesses to improve in his own team and almost everything else that he needs to take note on.
