D. Differentiate between the following.

1. A formula is a statement written by the user to be calculated. It
contains values or references to cells. All formulas must start by
putting an equal to sign.
A function is a predefined formula in Excel. It is a piece of code
designed to calculate specific values and is used inside formulas.
Equal to sign (=) is automatically included into Excel when you apply
Function.
2. Absolute Referencing: A formula using the absolute cell reference
$C$5 instructs Excel to keep the cell reference C5 constant in the
formula as it copies it to the destination area.
Relative Referencing: A formula using the relative cell reference
instructs Excel to adjust the cell reference as it copies it to the
destination area.
E. Answer in 1-2 sentences.

By default, cells are identified by a specific column letter and row
number. For example : C5

F. Answer Briefly.
1. Function in Excel always begins with an equal to (=) sign, followed
by the Function name. Function name is followed by opening
parenthesis then arguments separated by comma or colon and then
closing parenthesis.
Rule to create a Function
=SUM(A1:A5)

Equal to (=) Function Opening Arguments Closing

sign Name Parenthesis Parenthesis

2. Conditional sum is used to identify the sum of particular numbers in

a field if the conditions applied to them are fulfilled. For this, we
use SUMIF function. SUMIF() takes three arguments: a range of
numbers, the condition being applied to the numbers, and range to
which the condition applies. Values that meet the condition are
added together, and the result appears in the cell with the formula.
3. A cell reference with only one dollar sign ($) before either the
column or the row is called a mixed cell reference. It can be either
C$5 or $C5. When it shows C$5, the column reference changes when
we copy this cell to another column. When it shows $C5, the column
reference does not change. In the above example of mixed cell
reference, column letter will remain constant in first reference, and
row number will remain constant in second reference.
