#1 – SUM

The SUM excel function enables users to add individual


numeric values, cell references, ranges, or all three together
using the formula =SUM. Likewise, using the Auto Sum
function in Excel, i.e., “∑” automatically adds all the numeric
values listed in a particular row or column.

The syntax of the SUM Excel formula is

 number1 = The first numeric value that you want to add.


This is the mandatory argument.
 number2 = The second numeric value that you want to add.
This is the optional argument.

The following example, the image below, depicts a series of


numbers 10 to 100. We will sum up the numbers with the
Mathematical SUM function.

In the table,

 Column A contains the Number


 Column B contains the Output

The steps to add the given numbers are as follows:

 Step 1: First, we will choose the cell where we want the


result to appear. Cell B2 would be the cell in this case.
 Step 2: Next, we will enter the SUM formula in cell B2.

 Step 3: Select the array which ranges from the starting cell
address to the ending cell address of the table, i.e., A2:A11.

 Step 4: The complete formula entered is =SUM(A2:A11).


 Step 5: Press the Enter key. The results are shown in cell B2
as 550 in the image below.
#2 – AVERAGE
The AVERAGE Excel function calculates the arithmetic
mean of the numbers passed in the arguments. The
arguments can be direct numbers or cell references
containing numbers.

The syntax of the AVERAGE Excel formula is


 number1 = The first numeric value for which the average is
calculated. This is the mandatory argument.
 number2 = The subsequent numeric for which the average
is to be calculated. This is the optional argument.

The following example, the image below, depicts the price of


fruits. We will try to calculate the average of the numbers
with the Mathematical AVERAGE function.

In the table,

 Column A contains the Fruits


 Column B contains the Price
 Cell B7 contains the Output

The steps to calculate the average of the given numbers are


as follows:

 Step 1: First, we will choose the cell where we want the


result to appear. Cell B7 would be the cell in this case.

 Step 2: Next, we will enter the AVERAGE formula in cell B7.

 Step 3: Select the cell reference from the table, i.e., B2:B6.
 Step 4: The complete formula entered
is =AVERAGE(B2:B6)

#4 – COUNT
The COUNT Excel function calculates the number of cells
containing numbers within the given range. The function also
counts the number of arguments that have numerical values.

The syntax of the COUNT Excel formula is

 value1 = The first cell reference or the range we want to


count. This is the mandatory argument.
 value2 = The second cell reference or the range we want to
count. This is the optional argument.

The following example, the image below, depicts values in


various formats. We will try counting the cells with numeric
values using the Mathematical COUNT formula in cell B2.

In the table,

 Column A shows values


 Cell B2 calculates the number of numeric values

The steps to add the given numbers are as follows:

 Step 1: First, we will choose the cell where we want the


result to appear. Cell B2 would be the cell in this case.

 Step 2: Next, we will enter the COUNT formula in cell B2.

 Step 3: Select the array which ranges from the starting cell
address to the ending cell address of the table, i.e., A2:A7.

 Step 4: The complete formula entered is =COUNT(A2:A7).


 Step 5: Press Enter key. The results in cell B2 are as ‘2’ in
the image below.

 Therefore, the COUNT function counts only the number as a


numerical value, not the number with a variable.

#5 – COUNTIF
The COUNTIF Excel Function counts cells that match
specific criteria within the given range.

The syntax of the COUNTIF Excel formula is

 range=This is a range on which the criteria argument is


applied. This is a mandatory argument.
 criteria=This is a condition applied to the range of values
argument. This is a mandatory argument.

The following example, the image below, shows how the task
is assigned to the people. Here, we will try to calculate the
number of members in the tasks from the table using the
Mathematical COUNTIF function in Excel.

In the table,

 Column A shows the Name


 Column B contains the Task
 Column E contains the Output

The steps to count the number of cells according to the


criteria are as follows:

 Step 1: First, we will choose the column where we want the


result to appear. Column E would be the column in this case.
 Step 2: Enter the formula that counts the item according to
the condition given by the COUNTIF function from the table.
Select the range from the starting cell address to the ending
cell address of the table, i.e., B2:B7.

 Step 3: Set the criteria we want to count, i.e., D2, in the


below image.
 Step 4: The complete formula is: =COUNTIF(B2:B7,D2).

 Step 5: After entering each value in the preceding step,


press the “Enter” key. The image below shows the results in
cell E2, ‘2.’ The count of the members in the specific task is
fetched as output.
 Step 6: Press Enter key. Drag the formula downwards till
cell E4 to get all types of searched results.

Therefore, the COUNTIF function counts the number of task


members in the table. The COUNTIF function count as per
the criteria given.

#6 – MOD
The MOD excel Function calculates a remainder after
dividing a number (dividend) by another number (divisor).

The syntax of the MOD Excel formula is

 number = This is the number of which the remainder is


calculated.
 divisor = This is the number by which we want to divide the
given number.

Unlike other functions, both the arguments of this function


are mandatory.

In the following example, the image below depicts the values,


and we will calculate the remainder value of the given values
using the Mathematical MOD Excel Function.

In the table,

 Column A contains the Value 1.


 Column B contains Value 2.
 Column C contains the Result.

The steps to calculate the value by the MOD Excel Function


are as follows:

 Step 1: Select the cell where we will enter the formula and
calculate the result. The selected cell, in this case, is cell C2.

 Step 2: Next, we will enter the Formula of the MOD Excel


Function in cell C2.
 Step 3: Enter the value of ‘number’ as A2, i.e., the value of
the numerator.

 Step 4: Enter the value of the ‘divisor’ as B2, i.e., the value
of the divisor.

 Step 5: The entered complete formula is =MOD(A2, B2) in


cell C2.
 Step 6: Press Enter key. The results in cell C2 are “0” in the
image below.

 Step 7: Press Enter key. Drag the formula downwards till


cell E4 to get all types of searched results.

#7 – ROUND
The ROUND excel Function rounds up the number to the
specified number of digits using the formula =ROUND. It is a
part of the Math and Trigonometry function. There are two
different functions attached to
it: ROUNDUP and ROUNDDOWN. But the ROUND function
performs both the tasks round up and round down.

 number = This is the numerical value we want to round up


or down. This is the mandatory argument.
 num_digits = This is the number of digits we want to round
up. This is also the mandatory argument.

The following example, the image below, depicts the


numbers, and we will find the round values using the
Mathematical ROUND Excel Function.

In the table,

 Column A contains Inputted numbers


 Column B contains the Output

The steps to round the given numbers are as follows:

 Step 1: First, we will choose the column where we want the


result to appear. Column B would be the column in this case.
 Step 2: Next, start by entering the formula in cell B2.

 Step 3: Select the cell that contains the number, i.e., “A2.”

 Step 4: Enter the number of digits to round the values. “0”


would be the number digit in this case. This will return the
number rounded to 0 decimal places.

 Step 5: The complete formula is: =ROUND(A2,0).


 Step 6: Now, press Enter key. The results are shown in cell
B2 as ‘325’ of the image below.

 Step 7: Press Enter key. Drag the formula downwards till


cell B4.
