FORMULAS & FUNCTIONS

Input
A collection of information
Data typed into the
spreadsheet

Output
Worksheet Results

Three types of information


can be typed into a
spreadsheet cell
Labels
Values
Formulas

Labels
Text

entries

Identify

values in columns and rows

Left-aligned
Type

an apostrophe () before a
number to treat the number like a
label.
Examples:
2007
402-6900

Values
Numbers
To

be used in calculations

Right-aligned
####

size the cell larger

#### appears if the number is too


larger for the size of the cell

Formulas
Used

to perform calculations

Begin

with = sign

Type

the cell address that contain


the values you want to calculate
Examples of formulas:
=A5+A6+A7+A8
The values in cells A5, A6, A7 and A8 are
added together

Arithmetic Operators

usage

Addition

=B3+C3

Add the value in B3 and


the value in C3

Subtract

=F12-22

Subtract 22 from the


contents of cell F12

Multiplication =A3*B3

Multiply the value in cell A3


by the value in cell B3

Division

=C3/C6

Divide the contents of cell


C3 by the contents of cell
C6

Exponentiati
on

=C12^6

Raise the value in cell C12


to the sixth power

Order of Operation
The

order in which calculations in a


formula are performed

Excel

follows the same order of


operations that you use in Algebra

Moving

from left to right in formulas,


the order of operations is as follows:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication and division
Addition and subtraction

Cell References
Always

use cell references in formulas.


A cell reference is the column letter
and the row number (ex. B2)
Why?
By using cell references in the formula,
you can use the powerful recalculation
feature in Excel
If

you change the contents of a cell


that is included in a formula, the
worksheet will automatically
recalculate it

Functions
Built in formulas
Formulas and Functions begin with
Use the Formulas Menu, fx on the

formulas bar, or AUTOSUM arrow

Example

of a function:

=AVERAGE(B13:D13)
Use a range of cells (B13:D13)
Colon means Excel will average cells B13
through D13

Common Functions
SUM

Calculates the sum of a


range of cells
MAX

Displays the largest value


in a range of cells
MIN

Displays the smallest


value in a range of cells
COUNT

Calculates the number of


values in a range of cells
AVERAGE

Calculates the average of


values in a range of cells

AUTOSUM
Build

in sum function
Most commonly used function
AUTOSUM adds the values above
the active cell first (default)
If no values are above the cell, it
sums to the left of the active cell
If Excel doesnt select the correct
range, you may select the range
you want

Cell Range
Two

or more cells
A group of adjacent cells
(B3:C12) includes all of the cells
from B3 through C12
Ranges can be named

Cell References
Relative

copied

adjusts to its new location when

Absolute

Do not change when moved or


copied to a new cell

Mixed

contains both relative and absolute


references

Symbol

used to make an absolute cell


reference? $

F4

key will automatically put in a $ in your


formula

Printing Formulas
