Periods per Year 2 Net Income
Period Rate
Never: Effective Rate

Equal sign starts all formulas


Formula inputs are items the formula uses like, annual rate,
periods per year, revenue, expenses
If a formula input can change: 1) Put it in a cell, 2) Label the cell,
3) refer to the formula input with a cell reference.
If a formula input can change: DO NOT TYPE THE NUMBER INTO
THE FORMULA.
Entering cell references into formulas: 1) If the cell references
are close to the formula, use the arrow keys, 2) If the cell
references are NOT close to the formula, use the mouse
In this class, I will color all formula cells green and most labels
will be dark blue

A Function is built-in code that makes a certain calculation or does a certain
task. For example, the SUM function will add values from a range of cells, the
AVERAGE will calculate the average (arithmetic mean), and the PMT function
can calculate a loan payment
If you have a choice between a formula like =SUM(B2:B5) and =B2+B3+B4+B5,
choose =SUM(B2:B5) because it is faster to create and it can handle structural
updates like inserting a row.
Screen Tips help greatly with entering function arguments.

You can search for functions if you click the fx button on the formula bar.

We use cell references in formulas that point to formula inputs. This way if
we want to change the formula inputs, it is easy to do.
Relative cell references mean that the cell references moves relatively
throughout the formula copy action.
Absolute cell references mean that the cell references is locked throughout
the formula copy action.
To lock a cell reference, use the F4 key to add dollar signs to convert the
relative cell references to an absolute cell reference.
