14 ADDING FORMULAS Working with Calculations OVERVIEW A formula performs calculations on the data in your worksheet. A formula always starts with an equal sign (=), which can be followed by numbers, math operators (such as a plus or minus sign), and functions. Examples: =B4+C4-W10 =C20*.07 =D5/12 =(B6-C6)*D20/E4 Tip: To enter a cell reference into a formula, you can click the cell and Excel will enter the reference automatically. ORDER OF OPERATIONS Mathematical calculations are always performed in the following order (BEDMAS): () Brackets (parentheses) ^ Exponents / * Division and Multiplication + - Addition and Subtraction Examples: 5+2*10-3=22 (5+2)*10-3=67 COPYING FORMULAS To copy a formula from one cell to another, you may Use Copy/Paste Drag the Fill Handle Using Functions OVERVIEW A function calculates a result based on one or more input values. Some commonly used functions: Function Description Example SUM Adds all the numbers in a range of cells. =SUM(A5:G20) AVERAGE Adds a group of numbers and then divides by the count of those numbers. =AVERAGE(A5:G20) COUNT Counts the number of cells in a range that contain numbers. = COUNT (A5:G20) COUNTA Counts the number of cells in a range that are not empty. = COUNTA (A5:G20) MAX Returns the largest number in a set of values. = MAX (A5:G20) MIN Returns the smallest number in a set of values. = MIN (A5:G20) Computer Training Solutions 12 of 24

16 FUNCTION LIBRARY Functions may also be inserted from the Function Library on the Formulas tab. Working with Relative & Absolute References RELATIVE REFERENCES By default, a cell reference is relative meaning that if you copy the formula, the reference automatically adjusts to its new position. Example: When the formula in cell B6 was copied to the right, the references adjusted. ABSOLUTE REFERENCES An absolute reference is one that does not change when the formula is copied. Dollar signs ($) are used to make a reference absolute. Example: When the formula in cell C3 was copied down, the first reference adjusted but the second did not. Tip: When inserting or editing a formula, you can make a reference absolute by pressing the F4 key. Computer Training Solutions 14 of 24
