Four different types of Operators in Excel:
1.Arithmetic Operators
 To perform basic mathematical operations
such as addition, subtraction, or
multiplication; combine numbers; and
produce numeric results, use the following
arithmetic operators.
Arithmetic Operator Meaning Example
+ (plus sign) Addition =A2+B3

- (minus sign) Subtraction or Negation =A3–A2 or –C4

* (asterisk) Multiplication =A2*B3

/ (Forward slash) Division =B3/A2

% (percent sign) Percent (dividing by 100) =B3%

^ (caret) Exponentiation =A2^3

2.Comparison Operators
You can compare two values with the following
operators.
Comparison Operator Meaning Example
= (equal sign) Equal to =A2=B3
> (Greater than sign) Greater than =B3>A2
< (Less than sign) Less than =A2<B3
>= (Greater than or equal to Greater than or equal to =B3>=A2
sign)
<= (Less than or equal sign) Less than or equal to =B3<=A2
< > ( not equal sign) Not equal to =A2<>B3
3.Text Operator
 Use the ampersand, (&) to join, or concatenate, one or
more text strings to produce a single piece of text.
Text Operator Meaning Example

& Concatenates =A2&” “&B3tOr

(connects) entries to “North”&”wind”
produce one
continuousentry.
4.Reference Operators
Combine ranges of cells for calculations with the
following operators.
Reference Operator Meaning Example
: (colon) Range operator that =SUM(C4:D17)
includes
, (comma Union operator that =SUM(A2,C4:D17,B3)
combines multiple
references into onereference

(space) Intersection operator that =SUM(C3:C6 C3:E6)

produces one reference to
cells incommon with two
references
