Function Description Syntax

SUM Displays the sum of the = SUM (range)
range
AVERAGE Displays the average =AVERAGE (range)
value in the range
MAX Determines the largest = MAX (range)
value in the range
MIN Determines the smallest = MIN (range)
value in the range
COUNT Calculates the number of = COUNT (range)
values in the range

Functions are always preceded by an equal sign (=) when

used at the start of a formula.

Here are some examples:

= SUM (A1:A12) = MAX (B2: J2)
= MIN (C2: C15) =COUNT (B1:B24)
= AVERAGE (R10:R20) =SUM (Z10: Z1) * 12

Entering Labels
In creating your worksheet, start with making your
label entries: the main and subheadings, the column
headings, and the row headings. You need not worry if you
miss or need to delete some labels. You can always insert, or
delete rows and columns through the Insert menu ---- Rows
and Columns commands.

Labels, like the text in word processing can be

formatted. A number can be entered as a label so that Excel
does not include it in its calculations. Examples of numbers
that you might use as labels include year (e.g., 2005), an area
or ZIP code (e.g., 5505), and a tax identification number or
TIN (e.g., 421-952-888).

To enter a Text Label

1. Click on the cell where you want to enter a label.
2. Type a label. A label can include uppercase and
lowercase letters, spaces, punctuation marks, and
numbers. The entire entry appears simultaneously on
the Formula bar and in the cell as you type. You can
enter up to 255 characters into a cell. Labels are
entered, by default, as left-justified.

To cancel you cell entry while typing, click on the

Cancel formula box (X), or simple press Esc.

3. Command Excel to “accept” your data entry by doing

any one of the following:
 Click on the Enter formula box (/) on the formula
bar to leave the insertion point in the active cell.
 Click on another cell
 Press the Enter key to move the insertion point
down one cell
Press an arrow key or the Tab key.
