The document provides a comprehensive overview of basic arithmetic operations, including functions such as SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, COUNT, and ROUND, along with their usage examples. It also explains different types of cell references (relative, absolute, and mixed), logical functions (IF, AND, OR), text functions (CONCATENATE, LEFT, RIGHT, MID, LEN, TRIM), and date functions (TODAY, NOW, DATE, TIME, DATEDIF). Each function is accompanied by a formula and an example of how to use it in a spreadsheet context.

Basic Arithmetic Operations:
Basic Arithmetic: Formula Function How to Use It
Adds all numbers in a range
SUM(range) =SUM(A1:A5) of cells. Calculates the average of AVERAGE(range) =AVERAGE(A1:A10) numbers in a range. Finds the smallest number MIN(range) =MIN(A1:A20) in a range Finds the largest number in MAX(range) =MAX(A1:A20) a range. Counts the number of cells COUNT(range) in a range that contain =COUNT(A1:A20) numbers Rounds a number to a ROUND(number, number digits) specified number of decimal =ROUND(3.14159, 2) places. Basic Arithmetic: Formula Function How to Use It
Returns the integer part of a
INT(number) =INT(5.7) number. Returns the remainder after MOD(number, divisor) =MOD(10, 3) division. Calculates the square root SQRT(number) =SQRT(25) of a number. Working with Cell References:
Relative References: These change when a formula is
copied. =A1+B1 copied down one row becomes =A2+B2.
Absolute References: These stay the same when a
formula is copied. Use dollar signs ($) to make a reference absolute. =$A$1+B1 copied down one row becomes =$A$1+B2. The reference to A1 remains fixed.
Mixed References: A combination of relative and
absolute. =$A1+B1 copied down one row becomes =$A2+B2. The column A remains fixed, but the row number changes. Logical Function: Formula Function How to Use It
Returns "Yes" if A1 is greater =IF(A1>10, "Yes",
IF(range, condition) than 10, otherwise "No" "No")
AND(range) Check if both cells are true. =AND(A1>10, B1<20)
Check if the cell either is
OR(cell) =OR(A1>10, B1<20) true. Text Functions: Formula Function How to Use It
CONCATENATE(cell, Combines the text with a =CONCATENATE(A1, "
“”, cell) space in between. ", B1)/ CONCAT() Extracts the first 3 LEFT(cell, 3) =LEFT(A1, 3) characters from the text. Extracts the last 3 RIGHT(cell, 3) =RIGHT(A1, 3) characters from the text. MID(cell, starting Extracts 4 characters from of character, the text, starting from the =MID(A1, 2, 4) character) character. Returns the length of the LEN(cell) =LEN(A1) text. Removes extra spaces from TRIM(cell) TRIM(A1) the text. Date Functions: Formula Function How to Use It
=TODAY() TODAY() Returns the current date.
Returns the current date
NOW() =NOW() and time. DATE(Year, Creates a date. =DATE(2025, 3, 15) Month, Date) TIME(hour, mins, Creates a time. =TIME(14, 30, 0) am/pm) Calculates the difference DATEDIF(cell, cell, between dates A1 and B1 in =DATEDIF(A1, B1, "Y") "Y") years.
