. What is Consolidating data?

Answer – The Data Consolidation tool summarises data from multiple worksheets or workbooks into a
single worksheet that you can simply update. Consolidate has a graphical interface for copying data
from one set of cells to another and then performing one of a dozen operations on it. Consolidation
allows the contents of cells from many sheets to be consolidated in one location.

2. What is Subtotal?

Answer – SUBTOTAL: totals/adds data in an array—that is, a collection of cells with column and/or row
labels. You can choose arrays and then apply a statistical function (sum, average, max, min) to them
using the Subtotals dialogue. To maximise efficiency, a function can be applied to up to three sets of
arrays.

3. What is Goal Seek?

Answer – The word “goal seeking” refers to the act of determining your input value based on a
previously determined output value. The method entails the use of a certain operator in a formula that
may be calculated with computer software.
Example: Set Cell: This specifies the cell whose value will be changed to the desired value after the Goal
Seek operation is completed.
For instance, Jack received a 25 out of 30 in English and a 22 out of 30 in Math. In order to calculate the
score in IT, he needs to acquire an overall score of 85 percent. As a result, a goal has been established,
and according to it, Jack will discover one unknown variable, IT marks.

your calculations. Using the Navigator or a dropdown list displayed beside the changing cells, you may
simply switch between these sets.

5. What is Solver?

Answer – The Solver option in the Tools menu is essentially a more advanced version of Goal Seek. The
Solver, on the other hand, deals with equations involving several unknown variables. It is meant to
minimise or maximise the result based on a set of rules that you specify.

6. Differentiate between relative and absolute hyperlinks.

Answer – An absolute hyperlink will stop working only if the target is moved. A relative hyperlink will
stop working only if the source and target locations change relative to each other.

folder to a new location, a relative hyperlink will not break a link.
