A. Introduction Day 1 Presentation
Panimula A wide variety of software applications are available to meet the society’s
need to perform tasks easier and faster. With the help of this innovation,
information can now be analyzed and communicated effectively in a more
convenient way.

Microsoft Excel is one of the most widely used electronic spreadsheet

application by individual and businesses. It contains rows and columns which
enables you to sort, arrange and calculate numerical data easily.

Functions- are calculations that return a result. To create and enter functions
always start with an equal sign (=). Without it, Excel will not calculate a result.
The inputs in functions are called arguments.

Functions must be written correctly in a specific way called syntax. The syntax
for a function starts with the equal sign (=), followed by the function
name(SUM for example), and one or more arguments.

Arguments can be in a form of numbers, cell references, or texts. It refers to

both individual cells and cell ranges and must be enclosed within a
parentheses. It contains the information you want to calculate.

The function in the example below would add the values of the cell range A1
to A5.

=SUM(A1:A5)

Equal sign
Function name Argument

Excel has the most common functions you may use:

SUM - adds all the values in the selected cell range.
AVERAGE – calculates the sum of the cells and divides by the number of cells
in the argument.
COUNTA – count items in a cell range.
MAX – determines the highest cell value in the argument.

In the example below, the AVERAGE function is used to calculate the
average amount spend for a week.

These are the following methods to create formula using functions in Excel
1. Encode the data needed to calculate the average.

2. On the formula bar, type the syntax required to calculate the average.
Another way is to type the syntax in a cell in which the result of the
calculation will appear.

5. You may also use the mouse to select the cell range in which the function
will be applied. Once the syntax is typed in the formula bar, click check
before the function icon or simply press enter.

6. The answer to the Function is shown in the cell. In this example, the result of
the average is on cell B9.

There are different categories of functions. Some of which are the following:
a. Mathematical
b. Date and Time
c. Logical
d. Lookup and Reference

Formulas, on the other hand, are combinations of functions, operands, and
operations. These are used like when you are manually calculating.
Using spreadsheet serves different purposes in almost every profession. These
include the following:
Spreadsheets are used as calculators to automatically calculate the values
entered.
Spreadsheets are used as tables to track personal investments, expenses,
inventory, address, and telephone numbers, among others.
Spreadsheets are used to graph, analyze, and store information.

Excel uses symbols for mathematical operators for formula, such as

+ plus sign for addition
- minus sign for subtraction
* asterisk for multiplication
/ forward slash for division
