In this case, the cell that is being calculated and its dependents are moved down the chain. During recalculation, Excel revises this chain if it comes across a formula that depends on a cell that has not yet been calculated. The calculation chain lists all the cells that contain formulas in the order in which they should be calculated. From this tree, Excel constructs a calculation chain. The dependency tree informs Excel about which cells depend on which others, or equivalently, which cells are precedents for which others. The calculation of worksheets in Excel can be viewed as a three-stage process: Therefore the phrase "the user" also means "the user, or a command or process started by the user." Dependence, Dirty Cells, and Recalculated Cells The user runs the command, or does something to cause the command to run so that it is still considered a user action. The figure below shows an example of a GPA calculation for a semester in college.This topic does not distinguish between the user directly pressing a key or clicking the mouse, and those tasks being done by a command or macro.

If you include all the points and hours for every semester, this will calculate your overall cumulative GPA. If you include only the points and hours for a single semester, this will calculate your GPA for the semester.

To calculate your GPA, add up the total grade points and the total credit hours and then divide the total grade points by the total credit hours.

(This is where the weighting comes into play) Step 3 - Add the Total Points then Divide by the Total Credit Hours If I got an A- in a 3-credit class, the points for that class would be 3.7 times 3 credits equals 11.1 points. Step 2 - Multiply the Points by the Number of Credit Hours The first step in calculating your GPA is to convert the letter grades to points. To the right is a typical 4.0 GPA Scale, showing the grade points and the letter grade equivalent.
