I needed to figure out how to get an excel file onto blogger. I attempted to use slideshare but excel spreadsheet files cannot be converted on there.

I then had to do some research to try and figure out how I could get the file onto blogger. I find a website (http://www.wchingya.com/2009/01/how-to-add-excel-files-to-blogger.html) and then found out that I had to use Google Docs which I didn’t know existed until this moment.

I then went onto google and looked at the toolbar at the top in which I was unable to find a title that said ‘Documents’

I then decided to type ‘google docs’ into the google search bar and fortunately found it.

Below shows how I opened the file that I needed onto this spreadsheet.

I then attempted to change the colour of this chart which didn’t work as I wanted to highlight the girls to change it to pink and instead both the boys and girls part turned pink.

When this happened I then had to think of a solution/another way to get the excel file onto blogger but from using Google Docs I have learnt how to use the basic tools.

I returned to excel to view my original file:

I finally resorted to copy and pasting the excel chart into a Microsoft word page and then putting it onto slideshare from there.

What Have I learnt?

I have re-taught myself to create a chart in excel as I haven’t used excel for many years.

From attempting to use excel to present my work, I have learnt that excel files can’t directly be linked onto blogger.

An excel file cannot be converted into a slide share presentation. I have learnt how to use the basic tools in Google Docs.
