Functions

• SUMIFS• Adds the cells in a

range that meet multiple criteria

• COUNTIFS• Applies criteria to

cells across multiple ranges and counts the number of times all criteria are met

The key difference between these and Countif/Sumif is that these allow the use of multiple criteria. Countif/Sumif do not

Formulas/Functions cont.

• Can also use “FUNCTION WIZARD”

• =IF(Logical test,Value_if_true,Value_if_false)

• =PMT(rate/12,nper,pv)

• =FV(rate,nper,pmt,pv)– Returns the FUTURE value of an investment– Unless otherwise stated-the pmt is “0”– Do NOT have to divide INTEREST RATE by 12, or multiply NPER

by 12 (yrs.)

• =PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv)– Returns the PRESENT value of an investment– Unless otherwise stated-the pmt is “0”– Do NOT have to divide INTEREST RATE by 12, or multiply NPER

by 12 (yrs.)

• In the DATA TABLE:– ROW INPUTCELL:
