    INTRODUCTION

    Welcome to our Microsoft Excel Formulas tutorial. If you want to learn more about using formulas and functions in Excel, you've purchased the right book. Whether you're new to Excel or are a more advanced user, this tutorial or workbook is designed to show you how to use different formulas and functions to solve real-life problems.

    Formulas work almost exactly the same way in most all versions of Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet programs, so you can work along with this workbook even if you don't have Excel. This workbook is well adapted to other Excel, LibreOffice, OpenOffice and many other spreadsheet programs. However, keep in mind that we'll be using Microsoft Excel 2016 and 2013 throughout this workbook, so you may notice some slight differences if you're using a different program.

    This workbook is also suitable and adapted to new Microsoft Excel formula users. This workbook starts with the absolute basics of creating formulas and gradually works up to some more advanced formulas. But before you begin, you'll want to have a basic understanding of how to navigate your Microsoft Excel.

    If you already have a basic understanding of how spreadsheets work, you're ready to dive in and get started. All through this book, we will provide written and also very interactive lessons that will explain the basics of formulas and guide you through real-life scenarios where you'll use formulas to solve problems!

    Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!

    CHAPTER ONE

    Formula and Function Basics

    Simple Formulas

    Microsoft Excel came with a very excellent feature. One of which is the ability to calculate some numerical information using formulas. Microsoft Excel can add, multiply, divide and subtract just like a calculator. In our first lesson on mastering excel formulas, we will show you how to use cell references to create simple formulas.

    Mathematical operators

    Microsoft Excel is known to use standard mathematical operators for formulas. These operators are but not limited to a plus sign for addition (+), an asterisk for multiplication (*), a minus sign as subtraction (-), a forward slash for division (/), and a caret (^) for exponents.
