1. Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application that organizes data into rows and columns of cells that can be manipulated through formulas and functions. 2. Formulas in Excel combine the values of cells to provide calculated results. Functions are predefined formulas that perform calculations using specific arguments in a particular order. 3. Common functions in Excel include SUM, MIN, MAX, AVERAGE to calculate values in a range of cells, COUNTIF and SUMIF to count or sum cells that meet criteria, and IF to return one value if a condition is true and another if false.

MICROSOFT EXCEL

• A spreadsheet application which


organizes data that can be
manipulated through formulas and
other mathematical functions.
Cell- small rectangular boxes. This is to
organized into rows and columns.

Cell Range- a range of cells is usually


indicated by listing the address of the first
and last cell in the contiguous range.

$ signs- the formulas are simply to prevent


these references from adjusting.
Value- is an number that represents a quantity of some type
that can be used in a calculated formula. A value can include
an amount, percentage, date, money, weight, etc..
Text- can be characters, numbers, symbols, special
characters or any combination.

Formula- combine the values of cells to provide a calculate


result. Changing the value of cell used in a formula will cause
the formula to automatically recalculate and update the
result.

Dates and Times- can be used as either text or value.


Two basic ways to perform calculations in Excel:

• Formula- is an expression that operates on values in a range


of cells or a cell while function is a predefined formula.

• Excel formula can contain a combination of constant values,


cell references, range reference, named range, functions,
and/or operations.

• Formula always begin with an equal sign(=).


Function- is a predefined formula that perform
calculations by using specific values called arguments,
in a particular order or structure.
Advanced Formulas
1. SUM( )- This function is used to get the sum of all the values. It has a format of
=SUM(range of values).

2. MIN()- This function is used to get the minimum value from the range of values. It
has a format of =MIN(range of values).

3. MAX( )- This function is used to get the maximum value from the range of values.
It has a format of =MAX(range of values).

4. AVERAGE()-This function is used to get the


average(arithmetic mean) value of its arguments. It has a format of
=AVERAGE(range of values).
5. COUNTIF( )- This function is used to count all cells that meet certain
criteria. The format is =COUNTIF(range, criteria).

6. SUMIF( )- This function is used to add all cells that meet certain criteria.
The format is =SUMIF(range, criteria).

7. IF( )- This function is used to check whether a condition is met, and


returns one value if TRUE, and another value if FALSE. The format is
=IF([logical_test],[value_if_true],[value_if_false].
Other MS Excel Features
Flash Fill-It is located at the Data ribbon as shown in the figure below. For example,
you will fill up cells B3:B5 the same amount in cell B2. Delete the values in cells B3:B5.
Make cell B3 as the active cell then go to the Data ribbon, and click it Flash Fill. (Note:
Return the original data.)

Chart- A chart also called as graph is a tool to visually present data in different chart
formats such as Bar, Pie, Line, Area, Doughnut, or Radar charts. You can easily create
it.
