Some functions to know

1. DATE: DATE: Returns a date from year, month, and day values. The syntax is
"=DATE(year, month, day)".
Example: "=DATE(2023, 2, 8)" returns the date "2023-02-08".

2. NOW: Returns the current date and time. The syntax is "=NOW()".

3. TODAY: Returns the current date. The syntax is "=TODAY()".

4. ABS: Returns the absolute value of a number. The syntax is "=ABS(number)".

For example, "=ABS(-5)" returns "5".

5. CEILING: Returns the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to a number. The
syntax is "=CEILING(number, significance)".
For example, "=CEILING(2.6,1)" returns "3.".
The second argument, "1", is the significance, which is the multiple that you want the
result to be rounded up to. In this case, the result will be rounded up to the nearest
multiple of 1. So 2.6 rounded up to the nearest multiple of 1 is 3.

syntax is "=ROUND(number, num_digits)".
Example: "=ROUND(3.14159, 2)" returns "3.14".

21. SIGN: Returns the sign of a number, indicating whether the number is positive,
negative, or zero. The syntax is "=SIGN(number)".
Example: "=SIGN(3)" returns "1", while "=SIGN(-3)" returns "-1" and "=SIGN(0)"
returns "0".

22. SQRT: Returns the square root of a number. The syntax is "=SQRT(number)".
Example: "=SQRT(16)" returns "4".

23. SUM: Adds its arguments. The syntax is "=SUM(number1, number2, ...)".
