tasks. Here’s a list of essential Excel formulas and functions, categorized by their primary use:

### Basic Arithmetic

1. **Addition:** `=A1 + B1`

2. **Subtraction:** `=A1 - B1`

3. **Multiplication:** `=A1 * B1`

4. **Division:** `=A1 / B1`

5. **Exponentiation:** `=A1 ^ B1`

### Statistical Functions

1. **SUM:** `=SUM(A1:A10)` - Adds all numbers in a range.

2. **AVERAGE:** `=AVERAGE(A1:A10)` - Calculates the average of numbers in a range.

3. **MEDIAN:** `=MEDIAN(A1:A10)` - Finds the median number in a range.

4. **MODE:** `=MODE.SNGL(A1:A10)` - Finds the most frequently occurring number in a range.

5. **COUNT:** `=COUNT(A1:A10)` - Counts the number of numeric values in a range.

6. **COUNTA:** `=COUNTA(A1:A10)` - Counts the number of non-empty cells in a range.

7. **MAX:** `=MAX(A1:A10)` - Finds the maximum value in a range.

8. **MIN:** `=MIN(A1:A10)` - Finds the minimum value in a range.

### Logical Functions

1. **IF:** `=IF(A1 > 10, "Yes", "No")` - Returns one value if a condition is true and another if it's false.

2. **AND:** `=AND(A1 > 10, B1 < 20)` - Returns TRUE if all conditions are true.

3. **OR:** `=OR(A1 > 10, B1 < 20)` - Returns TRUE if any condition is true.

4. **NOT:** `=NOT(A1 > 10)` - Reverses the value of its argument.

### Lookup and Reference Functions

1. **VLOOKUP:** `=VLOOKUP(A1, B1:D10, 2, FALSE)` - Looks for a value in the first column and
returns a value in the same row from a specified column.

2. **HLOOKUP:** `=HLOOKUP(A1, B1:D10, 2, FALSE)` - Looks for a value in the first row and returns
a value in the same column from a specified row.
3. **INDEX:** `=INDEX(A1:C10, 2, 3)` - Returns the value of an element in a table or array, selected
by the row and column number.

4. **MATCH:** `=MATCH(A1, B1:B10, 0)` - Searches for a specified item in a range and returns the
relative position of that item.

5. **OFFSET:** `=OFFSET(A1, 2, 3)` - Returns a reference to a range that is a specified number of


rows and columns from a cell or range of cells.

### Text Functions

1. **CONCATENATE:** `=CONCATENATE(A1, " ", B1)` - Joins several text items into one text item
(use `&` in newer versions).

2. **LEFT:** `=LEFT(A1, 3)` - Returns the first characters from the left side of a text string.

3. **RIGHT:** `=RIGHT(A1, 3)` - Returns the last characters from the right side of a text string.

4. **MID:** `=MID(A1, 2, 3)` - Returns a specific number of characters from a text string, starting at
the position you specify.

5. **LEN:** `=LEN(A1)` - Returns the number of characters in a text string.

6. **FIND:** `=FIND("text", A1)` - Finds the starting position of one text string within another.

7. **SEARCH:** `=SEARCH("text", A1)` - Similar to FIND but case-insensitive.

8. **TRIM:** `=TRIM(A1)` - Removes all spaces from text except for single spaces between words.

8. **MINUTE:** `=MINUTE(A1)` - Extracts the minute from a time.

9. **SECOND:** `=SECOND(A1)` - Extracts the second from a time.

10. **DAYS:** `=DAYS(A2, A1)` - Returns the number of days between two dates.
11. **NETWORKDAYS:** `=NETWORKDAYS(A1, A2)` - Returns the number of whole working days
between two dates.

### Financial Functions

1. **PV (Present Value):** `=PV(rate, nper, pmt, [fv], [type])` - Returns the present value of an
investment.

2. **FV (Future Value):** `=FV(rate, nper, pmt, [pv], [type])` - Returns the future value of an
investment.

3. **PMT (Payment):** `=PMT(rate, nper, pv, [fv], [type])` - Calculates the payment for a loan based
on constant payments and a constant interest rate.

4. **RATE:** `=RATE(nper, pmt, pv, [fv], [type], [guess])` - Returns the interest rate per period of an
annuity.

5. **NPV (Net Present Value):** `=NPV(rate, value1, [value2], ...)` - Returns the net present value of
an investment based on a series of periodic cash flows and a discount rate.

### Array Formulas (Dynamic Arrays in Excel)
