DATA FORMULAS:

formulas function
=SUM to add one or more numbers
=AVERAGE to take the average value of a range
=MAX gives maximum value of a range
=MIN gives minimum value of a range
=SUMIF adds cells that satisfy a certain criteria

COUNT FORMULAS

formulas function
=COUNT counts cells that have numbers in them
=COUNTA counts cells that have anything in their cells (letters/numbers)
=COUNTIF counts cells that satisfy a certain criteria

EXTRACTING DATA

formulas function
=LEFT(cell with word, no of characters needed)
=LEFT Extracts text from the left
=RIGHT Extracts text from the right =RIGHT(cell with word, no of characters needed)

=MID Extracts from the middle =MID (cell with word, start char, end char)
=CONCATENATE joins contents of selected cells into a cell
IF STATEMENTS:

=IF(critera, true, false)

IF STATEMENT WITH AND & OR: (when there is more than one condition)

 WITH AND:

=IF(AND(A1>15,A2>7), “true”, “false”)

This means that if A1 is greater than 15 AND if A2 is greater than 7, the cell will print ‘true’. If even
one doesn’t satisfy the criteria, then ‘false’ is printed.

 WITH OR:

=IF(OR(A1>15, A2>7),”true”,”false”)

This means that if either A1 is greater than 15 OR if A2 is greater than 7, the cell will print ‘true’,
even if one doesn’t satisfy the criteria. It will print ‘false’ if neither of the criteria is fulfilled.

NESTED IFS:

you put another IF statement instead of the ‘false’ condition, so if the criteria isn’t fulfilled, then it
checks for the next if statement.

IF(….., “true”,IF(…..,true,false))
