Formula in MS Excel
Download as PPTX, PDF7 likes7,874 views
Excel formulas begin with an equal sign and perform calculations on worksheet data using operands, operators, and cell references. Formulas use operators like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to calculate results. Operands can be values, cell references, names, or functions. Formulas are evaluated from left to right following operator precedence rules, which can be modified using parentheses.

Formula in MS Excel
- 2. A formula is an equation that performs operations on a worksheet data
- 3. › All the formula have to begin with an equal sign [ ] › The = sign is followed by the elements to be calculated [ ] › Operands are separated by calculation
- 5. An operator specifies the type of calculation that you intend to perform on the elements of a formula Excel offers three main types of operators – - for basic mathematical operations - compare two values -combine ranges of cells
- 6. Operation Operator Example Addition + =10+2 Subtraction - =6-2 Negation - =-9 Multiplication * =5*8 Division / =27/9 Percent % =550*3% Exponentiation ^ =5^2 (same 5*5)
- 7. Operation Operator Example Equal to = A1=A2 Greater than > A1>A2 Less than < A1<A2 Greater than or equal to >= A1>=A2 Less then or equal to <= A1<=A2 No equal to <> A1<>A2
- 8. Operation Operator Example Range operator : A1:A10 Union Operator , Sum(5,7,8)
- 9. A quantity upon which a mathematical operation is performed › A numerical value › A cell or range reference › A label › A name › A worksheet function
- 10. The operations in a formula are performed from left to right – following the order of operator precedence You can change the of precedence of operators by using parentheses ()
- 11. arentheses xponent ultiply / ivide ddition / ubtraction
- 13. 1. By placing an equal sign in the cell that is to hold the result and then pointing and clicking those cells that contain the operands 2. By writing the cell addresses of cells that you want to use for your calculation in your result cell
- 15. Steps 1. Enter 10 in cell 2. Enter 20 in cell 3. Write sign in Cell C1 4. Place mouse on cell 5. Type sign 6. Go to cell 7. Press
- 16. Steps 1. Enter 60 in cell 2. Enter 20 in cell 3. Write sign in Cell C1 4. Place mouse on cell 5. Type sign 6. Go to cell 7. Press
- 18. To get 20 percent of given number
- 19. Steps 1. Enter 25 in cell 2. Enter 2 in cell 3. Write sign in Cell 4. Type 5. Then Type sign 6. Type 7. Press
