Here are some common and useful Excel formulas that can help make your work easier

and more
efficient:

1.SUM: Adds a range of cells together. Example: =SUM(A1:A10) adds the values in cells A1 to A10.

2. AVERAGE: Calculates the average of a range of cells. Example: =AVERAGE(A1:A10) calculates the
average of values in cells A1 to A10.

3. COUNT: Counts the number of cells that contain numbers within a range. Example: =COUNT(A1:A10)
counts the number of cells in cells A1 to A10 that contain numbers.

4. MAX and MIN: Returns the maximum or minimum value in a range of cells. Example: =MAX(A1:A10)
returns the maximum value in cells A1 to A10, while =MIN(A1:A10) returns the minimum value.

5. CONCATENATE: Joins text strings together. Example: =CONCATENATE(A1, " ", B1) combines the text in
cells A1 and B1 with a space in between.

6. IF: Performs a logical test and returns different values based on the result. Example: =IF(A1>10, "Greater
than 10", "Less than or equal to 10") checks if the value in cell A1 is greater than 10 and returns the
corresponding message.

7. VLOOKUP: Searches for a value in the first column of a table and returns a corresponding value from a
different column. Example: =VLOOKUP(A1, A1:B10, 2, FALSE) searches for the value in cell A1 in the range
A1 to B10 and returns the corresponding value from the second column.

8. SUMIF: Adds up values in a range that meet specific criteria. Example: =SUMIF(A1:A10, ">10") adds up
the values in cells A1 to A10 that are greater than 10.

9. COUNTIF: Counts the number of cells that meet specific criteria. Example: =COUNTIF(A1:A10, "Apples")
counts the number of cells in cells A1 to A10 that contain the word "Apples".

10. TODAY and NOW: Returns the current date or date and time. Example: =TODAY() returns the current
date, while =NOW() returns the current date and time.
11. SUMIFS: Adds up values based on multiple criteria. Example: =SUMIFS(C1:C10, A1:A10, ">10", B1:B10,
"Apples") adds the values in cells C1 to C10 if the corresponding cells in column A are greater than 10 and
the corresponding cells in column B contain "Apples".

12. IFERROR: Handles errors and returns a specified value if an error occurs. Example: =IFERROR(A1/B1,
"Error: Divide by zero") performs division of cells A1 and B1, but if an error occurs (e.g., divide by zero), it
displays the message "Error: Divide by zero" instead.

13. TRIM: Removes extra spaces from a text string. Example: =TRIM(A1) removes any leading or trailing
spaces from the text in cell A1.

14. LEFT and RIGHT: Extracts a specified number of characters from the left or right side of a text string.
Example: =LEFT(A1, 5) extracts the leftmost 5 characters from the text in cell A1.

15. INDEX and MATCH: Retrieves a value from a specific row and column intersection based on matching
criteria. Example: =INDEX(B1:E10, MATCH(A1, A1:A10, 0), 3) retrieves the value from the 3rd column in
the range B1 to E10, where the value in cell A1 matches the value in column A.

16. COUNTIFS: Counts the number of cells that meet multiple criteria. Example: =COUNTIFS(A1:A10,
">10", B1:B10, "Apples") counts the number of cells in cells A1 to A10 that are greater than 10 and have
"Apples" in the corresponding cells in column B.

17. NETWORKDAYS: Calculates the number of working days between two dates, excluding weekends and
specified holidays. Example: =NETWORKDAYS(A1, B1, C1:C10) calculates the number of working days
between the dates in cells A1 and B1, excluding the dates listed in cells C1 to C10.

18. ROUND: Rounds a number to a specified number of decimal places. Example: =ROUND(A1, 2) rounds
the value in cell A1 to 2 decimal places.
