PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS (Recovered)
Uses formulas to calculate values. The equal sign typed in the cell
signifies that formula is created or AutoSum function is used to
build a formula
ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS
=sum
Calculates the sum of the value of a range of cells
=average
calculates the arithmetic mean of a range of cells
COMMON EXCEL FUNCTIONS
=max
gives the maximum value in a range of cells
=min
Gives the minimum value in a range of cells
=COUNT
Counts the number of cells in a range of cells
COMMON ERROR VALUES THAT YOU CAN ENCOUNTER
FROM FAULTY FORMULAS
1.#DIV/0!
appears when entering a formula that performs explicit
division by zero (0), using a reference to a blank cell or to
a cell that contains zero as the divisor in a formula or
function that performs division or running a macro that
uses a function or a formula that returns the #DIV/0! error.
2.##### -
appears when the column is not wide enough to display the
content and/or dates and times are negative numbers. The solution
is to increase the column width.
3.#NAME?
Appears when the formula refers to a range name that doesn't
exist in the worksheet. This error value appears when you type
the wrong range name or fail to enclose in quotation marks some
text used in the formula, causing Excel to think that the text refers
to a range name.
4. #N/A
appears when an inappropriate value was given for the
lookup_value argument in the HLOOKUP, LOOKUP,
MATCH, or VLOOKUP worksheet function,
5 .#NULL!
Appears most often when you insert a space (where you should have used a
comma) to separate cell references used as arguments for functions.
6.#NUM!
Appears when Excel encounters a problem with a number in the
formula, such as the wrong type of argument in an Excel function
or a calculation that produces a number too large or too small to
be represented in the worksheet.
7. #REF!
Appears when Excel encounters an invalid cell reference, such as
when you delete a cell referred to in a formula or paste cells over
the cells referred to in a formula.
8. #VALUE!
Appears when you use the wrong type of argument or operator in a
function, or when you call for a mathematical operation that refers to
cells that contain text entries. For example, the formula =A1+B1,
where A1 contains the string "Hello" and B1 contains the number 3,
returns the #VALUE! error.
