FORMULA’S FOR DATA ANALYSIS (EXCEL)

I. STATISTICAL FUNCTIONS :-

1. AVERAGE :-

The Average function in excel calculates the arithmetic mean

(Average) of a set of numbers.

Formula = Average ( range )

2. MEDIAN :-

The Median function in excel finds the MIDDLE value in a set of

numbers.

Formula =Median (rang )

3. MODE :-

The Mode in a dataset is the value that appears most frequently.

Formula =Mode ( rang )

4. STDEV.S :-

Standard Deviation measures the spread or dispersion of a set of data

point around the mean. A higher standard deviation indicates that the
data points are more spread out from the mean, while low standard
Rahul Sharma
4
deviation suggests that the points are clustered more closely around the
mean.

Formula =STDEV.S ( rang )

5. VAR.S :-

The VAR.S function calculate the Variance of a sample of data.

Variance measures how spread out the data point are from the Mean.
It quantifies the average squared difference between each data point
and the mean of the dataset.

Formula =VAR.S( rang )

6. MAX :-

Max function in excel return the largest value in a set of numbers.

Formula =MAX ( rang )

7. MIN :-

Min function in excel return the smallest value in a set of numbers.

Formula =MIN ( rang )

8. LARGE :-

The large function returns the K-th largest value in a rang or dataset.
K-th position (rank) of the value you want to find.
Rahul Sharma
5

Formula =LARGE ( rang, k )

If cells A1:A5 contains the no. 10, 20, 15, 25, 30

For example - LARGE (A1:A5,1) return 30 (Largest number)

LARGE (A1:A5,2) return 25 (2nd Largest number)
LARGE (A1:A5,3) return 20 (3rd Largest number)

9. SMALL :-
The Small function return the K-th smallest value in a rang or dataset.

Formula =SMALL (rang, k)

If cells A1:A5 contains the no. 10, 20, 15, 25, 30

It returns ex- LARGE (A1:A5,1) return 10 (Largest number)

LARGE (A1:A5,2) return 15 (2nd Largest number)
LARGE (A1:A5,3) return 20 (3rd Largest number)

10. PERCENTILE.INC :-

The Percentile.inc function is used to calculate the K-th percentile of

values in a range.

Formula =Percentile.inc (range, k)

11. QUARTILE.INC :-

The Quartile.inc formula in Excel is used to find the quartile (like

dividing data into four equal parts) for a given set of numbers. It

Rahul Sharma
6
includes the data's endpoints (the smallest and largest values) in its
calculation. You use it to understand the distribution of your data.

Example -

QUARTILE.INC (range, 1) gives you the first quartile (25th percentile)

QUARTILE.INC (range, 2) gives you the median (50th percentile)
QUARTILE.INC(range, 3) gives you the third quartile (75th percentile)

II. MATHMATICAL FUNCTIONS :-

1. SUM :-
The SUM formula in Excel is used to add up a range of numbers. It's
one of the most basic and commonly used functions. You can use it to
add values in a series of cells.

The SUM formula in Excel is used to add up a range of numbers. It's

one of the most basic and commonly used functions. You can use it to
add values in a series of cells.

Formula =SUM ( range, cell )

2. PRODUCT :-

The PRODUCT function in Excel is used to multiply all the numbers

in a given range. It's helpful when you need to find the product
(multiplication result) of several numbers.

Formula =PRODUCT ( rang )

3. POWER :-

Rahul Sharma
7
The POWER function helps you find the result when you multiply a
number by itself a specified number of times.

Example –

if you want to find 5 raised to the power of 6 (5 multiplied by itself 6

times), you would use =POWER (5, 6), and the result would be 15625.

Formula =POWER ( number, power )

4. SQRT :-

The SQRT function in Excel is used to calculate the square root of a

given number. The square root of a number is a value that, when
multiplied by itself, gives the original number.

Example - If you want to find the square root of 25:

Formula: =SQRT ( 25 )
Result: 5 because 5×5=255 \times 5 = 25

5. ROUND :-

The ROUND function in Excel is used to round a number to a

specified number of digits. It's very useful for simplifying numbers to
a desired level of precision.

Formula = ROUND (number/rang, decimal value)

Example = ROUND (A2, 2)

This formula rounds the value in cell A2 (123.456) to two decimal
places, resulting in 123.46

Rahul Sharma
8
6. INT :-

The INT formula in Excel is used to round a number down to the

nearest integer. It effectively removes the decimal part of a number,
giving you the integer portion.

Formula = INT ( number )

Example = Suppose you have the number 8.75 and you want to
round it down to the nearest integer.
= INT (8.75)
Result = 8

7. ABS :-
The ABS formula in Excel is used to return the absolute value of a
number. The absolute value is the number without its sign, meaning it
always gives a non-negative result.

Formula = ABS ( number )

Example = ABS (A2) cell A2 contains -10 value.

Result = 10 (a positive number)

8. MOD :-

The MOD function in Excel is used to find the remainder after

dividing one number by another. It's useful for tasks like checking if a
number is even or odd, or determining periodicity in data.

Formula = ABS (number, divisor)

Example = ABS (10, 3)

Result = 1
Rahul Sharma
9
9. SUMPRODUCT :-

The SUMPRODUCT function in Excel is a powerful tool used to

multiply corresponding elements in specified arrays or ranges and then
sum the resulting products. It is especially useful for conditional
summing and weighted averages.

Formula = SUMPRODUCT (array1, [array2], [array3], ...)

Example –
Suppose you have a small list of items with their quantities and prices,
and you want to calculate the total cost.

=SUMPRODUCT (B2:B4, C2:C4)

A B C D
Item Quantity Price Total Cost
Apples 2 3
Oranges 3 2
Bananas 5 1.5 17.5

III. LOGICAL FUNCTIONS :-

1. IF :-

The IF function is a powerful tool for decision making within your

spreadsheet. It allows you to perform a logical test and return one
value if the test is true, and another value if its false.

Formula = IF (condition, value if true, value if false)

Example = IF (A2 >= 50, "Pass", "Fail")

Value if true: "Pass" (if the condition is true, it returns "Pass")
Value if false: "Fail" (if the condition is false, it returns "Fail")

Rahul Sharma
10

2. IFS :-

The IFS function in Excel is used to test multiple conditions and return
a value corresponding to the first true condition. It's a more
streamlined and readable alternative to nested IF statements.

Formula = IFS (condition, value if true, condi_2, value if true…...)

Example =IFS (A2 >= 90, "A", A2 >= 80, "B", A2 >= 70, "C")

3. AND :-

The AND function in Excel is used to check whether multiple

conditions are true at the same time. It returns TRUE if all conditions
are met and FALSE if any condition is not met.

Formula = AND ( condition, condition_2 )

Example -
Suppose you want to check if a student passed both Math and Science
exams, and passing is defined as scoring 50 or more in each subject.

=AND (A2 >= 50, B2 >= 50)

It only returns TRUE, FALSE

4. OR :-

The OR function in Excel is used to test multiple conditions, and it

returns TRUE if at least one of the conditions is true. If all conditions
are false, it returns FALSE.
Formula = OR (condition, condition_2)

Rahul Sharma
11
Example -
Suppose you want to check if a student passes either Math or Science,
where passing is defined as scoring 50 or more.

= OR (A2 >= 50, B2 >= 50)

5. NOT :-

The NOT function in Excel is used to reverse the logic of a given

condition. It returns TRUE if the condition is FALSE and returns
FALSE if the condition is TRUE. It's useful for negating logical
statements.

Formula = NOT ( condition )

Example –
Suppose you want to check if a student did not pass a test where
passing is defined as scoring 50 or more.

= NOT (A2 >= 50)

6. IFERROR :-

The IFERROR function in Excel is used to catch and manage errors in

your formulas. It allows you to specify a value or message to return
when an error occurs, helping to keep your spreadsheets clean and
error-free.

Formula = IFERROR (value, value if error)

Example –
Suppose you have a formula that might result in an error, such as
division by zero.
Rahul Sharma
12

= IFERROR (A2/B2, “your_error_message” ) [formula applied in C2]

A B C
Number 1 Number 2 Result
10 2 5
15 0 Your Error Message
20 5 4

7. IFNA :-

The IFNA function in Excel is used to handle #N/A errors in your

formulas. It allows you to specify a value or message to return when a
#N/A error is encountered.

Formula = IFNA (value, value_if_na)

Example –
Suppose you have a formula that might result in an #N/A error, such as
a VLOOKUP that doesn't find a match.

=IFNA (VLOOKUP (A2, $A$2:$B$4, 2, FALSE), "Not Found")

A B C
ID Name Lookup Result
1 Alice Alice
2 Bob Bob
3 Carol Carol
4 Not Found (this is you NA
message)

8. LET :-

The LET function in Excel is used to assign names to calculation

results. This allows you to store intermediate calculations, values, or
define names inside a formula. This can make your formulas easier to
Rahul Sharma
13
read and more efficient, as you can reuse the results without
recalculating them multiple times.

Formula = LET (name1, value1, name2, value2, ..., calculation)

Example –
Suppose you want to calculate the area of a rectangle, where the length
is 10 and the width is 5. You can use the LET function to store these
values and then calculate the area.

=LET (length, A1, width, B1, area, length * width, area)

A B C
Length 10 50 (it is the area of triangle)
Width 5

9. XOR :-

The XOR function is a logical function that return True if an odd

number of its arguments are True. Otherwise, it return False.

Formula = XOR (logic, logic_2)

Example –
Suppose you want to check if a student passed exactly one of two
subjects, Math and Science. To pass, a student needs a score of 50 or
more in each subject.

=XOR (A2 >= 50, B2 >= 50)

A B C
Math Science XOR
45 65 TRUE
55 40 TRUE
50 50 FALSE
80 90 FALSE

IV. LOOKUP & REFERENCE FUNCTIONS :-

1. VLOOLUP :-

The VLOOKUP function in Excel is used to search for a value in the

first column of a table (or range) and return a value in the same row
from a specified column. It's a powerful tool for looking up and
retrieving data based on a match.

Formula -
=VLOOKUP (lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,[True/False])

Example –

you want to find the salary of a specific employee based on their ID.

=VLOOKUP (102, A2:B5, 2, FALSE)

A B C
Employee ID Salary Lookup Result
101 50000
102 55000 55000
103 60000
104 65000

2. HLOOKUP :-

The HLOOKUP function in Excel is used to search for a value in the

first row of a table (or range) and return a value in the same column
from a specified row. It's similar to VLOOKUP, but it searches
horizontally instead of vertically.

Formula -
HLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,row_index_num,[range_looku])

Example –
Rahul Sharma
15
Suppose you have a table of quarterly sales data for different regions,
and you want to find the sales for a specific region in Q2.

3. XLOOKUP :-
The XLOOKUP function in Excel is a powerful and versatile function
used to search for a value in a range and return a corresponding value
from another range. It's a more advanced and flexible alternative to the
VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions.

Formula =
XLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array,[if_not_found])

Example –
Suppose you have a list of product IDs and their corresponding prices,
and you want to find the price of a specific product.

= XLOOKUP (“P002”, A2:A5, B2:B5, "Not Found")

in a table or range, based on the specified row and column numbers.
It's very versatile and can be combined with other functions to perform
complex lookups and data retrievals.

Formula = INDEX (array, row_num, [column_num])

Example –
Suppose you have a table of sales data for different products and
regions, and you want to find the sales figure for a specific product in
a specific region.

Example –
Let's say you have a list of product IDs and their corresponding prices,
and you want to find the price of a specific product.

= LOOKUP ("P002", A2:A5, B2:B5)

A B
Product Price
P001 25
P002 35
P003 45
P004 55

7. OFFSET :-

The OFFSET function in Excel creates a reference to a range that is a

specified number of rows and columns away from a starting cell or
range. It is useful for creating dynamic references that can change based
on the structure of your data.

Formula = OFFSET (reference, rows, cols, [height], [width])

height: [Optional] The number of rows to return. Default is 1.
width: [Optional] The number of columns to return. Default is 1.

2. FILTER :-

The FILTER function in Excel is a dynamic array function that returns

a filtered range based on specified criteria. It's incredibly powerful for
extracting specific data from a larger dataset.

Formula = FILTER (array, include, [if_empty])

Example –
Suppose you have a list of products and their quantities, and you want
to filter out products with quantities greater than 5.

A B
Product Quantity
Apples 10
Oranges 3
Bananas 8
Grapes 15

=FILTER(A2:B5, B2:B5 > 5)

A B
Product Quantity
Apples 10
Bananas 8
Grapes 15
