1) The LEN formula
The LEN formula in Excel returns the number of characters in a given cell. For example, if cell A1 contains the text "Hadia Nabi Bakhsh", the formula "=LEN(A1)" would return "17", as there are 17 characters in the text "Hadia Nabi bakhsh" including the spaces.
2)The LEFT formula
The LEFT function in Excel is a type of text function in Excel that gives the number of characters from the start of the string, from left to right, for example, if we use this function as =LEFT (“A1”,5) this will give us ‘Hadia’ as a result.
3) The RIGHT formula
The Excel RIGHT function extracts a given number of characters from the right side of a supplied text string. For example, =RIGHT("A1",6) returns "Bakhsh".
4) The MID formula
When we type, =MID(A2,7,4) returns “Nabi”. It will bring the substring from 7 characters and 4 letters from the 7th position. It is used to extract a substring from the middle of the text string.
5) The LOWER formula
It is the text that we wish to convert to lowercase and will not change the characters in the text that are not letters like, =LOWER(A1).
6) The UPPER formula
The UPPER formula in Excel is a simple function that takes a text or a string of characters and converts all the letters to uppercase. In other words, it makes all the letters in the text appear as capital letters.
7) The PROPER formula

8) The FACT formula
The FACT formula in Excel is a function that helps you calculate the fa ctorial of a given number.
9) The POWER formula
The POWER formula in Excel is a function that allows you to raise a number to a specific power. In simple words, to perform exponentiation, multiplying base number by itself a certain number of times. =POWER (base, exponent)
10) The SQRT formula
The SQRT formula in Excel is a function that helps you find the square root of a given number.
11) The TODAY formula
The TODAY formula in Excel is a function that provides the current date based on your computer's system clock.
12) The NOW formula

15) The IF formula
The "IF" function in Excel is a logical function that allows you to test a condition and return different values based on whether the condition is true or false. =IF (logical test, [value if true], [ value if false])
16) The COUNTIF formula
The COUNTIF function in Excel is used to count the number of cells within a specified range that meet a given criteria thus allowing you to count cells based on a single condition. =COUNTIF (range, criteria)
17) The COUNTBLANK formula
COUNTBLANK formula in Excel is used to count the number of empty cells within a selected range.
18) The CONCATENATE formula
The CONCATENATE formula in Excel is used to join or combine text from different cells into one cell. It allows you to merge the contents of multiple cells into a single cell.
19) The EDATE formula
The EDATE formula in Excel is a simple function that allows you to add or subtract a specified number of months to a given date. "EDATE" stands for "End of Month Date." It helps you calculate a new date that is a certain number of months before or after a starting date and convert the final number to a date. =EDATE (start date, months).
20) The LOOKUP formula
The LOOKUP formula in Excel is a simple way to find a value in a table based on a specific search key. It allows you to look up a value either horizontally or vertically within a range of cells. =LOOKUP (search key, lookup range, result range)
