EXCEL Basic Functions:

=IF(expression ; true; false)

• expression: set some condition (5<2; A2=12)
• true: this value will set, if the expression is true
• fail: this value will set, if the expression is false

=SUM(range or individual data)

• add all of number in the range or individual data

=COUNTIF(range; expression)
• If expression is a simple data, this function will count the same data from the given range.
• In other cases will count the numbers of the true expressions from the range.

=LENGTH() or MID() or RIGHT() or LEFT() with FIND()

• Very useful to select a part from a string or remove prefixes or suffixes from the information.

=”string”&”string2”...
• This expression will add the strings to one string. This is same to CONCATENATE(“string”;”string2”;...)
EXCEL Basic Functions:

=VLOOKUP(data; range; column in range; always true)

• Easy to get automaticaly parts from a bigger spreadsheet.
• Also good to crosscheck two spreadsheets.

For example: =VLOOKUP(A2;B2:C10;2;true):

• Will search A2 in the column B from B2 down. If find, will give the connected data from column C
(second column).
