EXCEL FORMULAS
Excel formulas are expressions used to
perform calculations, manipulate data,
and automate tasks within Microsoft
Excel. Formulas are created by
combining operators, functions, cell
references, and constants
InExcel, a formula is an expression that
operates on values in a range of cells or a
cell. For example, =A1+A2+A3, which
finds the sum of the range of values from
cell A1 to cell A3.
Formulas can refer to other cells on the
same worksheet, cells on other
worksheets in the same workbook, or even
cells on worksheets in other workbooks
Excel knows you are entering a
formula in a cell because every
formula starts with an = sign.
If you forget the = sign, what you
enter will be treated as text (unless
it can be interpreted as a number in
some format).
ARITHEMATIC OPERATORS USED IN FORMULAS-
COMPARISON OPERATORS IN FORMULAS
We genrally use functions in excel as
Functions are predefined formulas in
Excel. They eliminate laborious manual
entry of formulas while giving them
human-friendly names. For example:
=SUM(A1:A3). The function sums all the
values from A1 to A3
Commonly used functions include:
SUM: Calculates the sum of a range of cells. Example:
=SUM(A1:A10)
AVERAGE: Calculates the average of a range of cells. Example:
=AVERAGE(A1:A10)
IF: Performs a logical test and returns different values based on
the result. Example: =IF(A1>10, "Greater", "Less")
VLOOKUP: Searches for a value in the leftmost column of a
table and returns a corresponding value from another column.
Example: =VLOOKUP(A1, A:B, 2, FALSE)
