Formulas are equations that perform calculations on values in your worksheet. A formula starts with an equal sign (=). For example, the following formula multiplies 2 by 3 and thenfollowing formula multiplies 2 by 3 and then adds 5 to the result. =5+2*3
Functions are predefined formulas that perform calculations by using specific values, called arguments, in a particular order, or structure. Functions can be used to perform simple orFunctions can be used to perform simple or complex calculations.

Looking at cell I19 weLooking at cell I19, we can see that there are no special functions associated with the data. Using a simple f i h l kfunction can help make regular updates to the data easier.
31
In this case, you can simply click on the Autosum button while cell I19 is selected, and Excel will identify the which cells to include when calculating a total revenue figure for FY2005. Hit enter to 005 t e te tolock the sum in. Notice that the function reads:
=SUM(I12:I18)32
17
The same can be done using a formula, instead of a function.
=I12+I13+I14+I15+I16+I17+I18
This long expression helps to show why functions are handy tools.
33
A variety of functions are available. In cell L21, I can use the average function to determine a yearly average y y gfor forecasted revenue. fx=AVERAGE(I19:K19) or fx=AVERAGE(I19, J19, K19) or fx=(I19+J19+K19)/3

Click on the small down arrow next to the function symbol (the epsilon). Select “More Functions.”

One more thing about formulas and functions:
Yo can tili e data from otherYou can utilize data from other worksheets in order to populate cells. The figure in cell c16 is the sum of I19 through k19 on worksheet sample5yr4cast.
