This is the second of our two-part tutorial introducing this business and organizational application as part of the suite of Microsoft® Office 2010 Products. This course will introduce:•An exploration of the Excel formula from construction to conceptualization•The multitasking power of worksheet functions and their ease of use•Techniques for converting data to dynamic tables and charts aiding in the appropriate dissemination of information
After completing this course, participants should be able to:•Describe the basic structure of a Microsoft® Excel formula•Identify the purpose of worksheet functions and how they are used•Utilize ranges of data for improved organization and calculation functionality•Transform existing data into a chart using the available styles and formats•Understand the proper methods for sorting data

Understanding Formulas
Formulas must always start with an equal sign (=) when
typed out in Excel.

Benefits:•Allow you to dynamically calculate values that can exist in multiple cells or across spreadsheets.•Saves time and removes risk of costly errors associated with manual manipulation or calculation.
• Formulas use specific operators to identify the calculation to be performed.
• These are symbols to represent relationships between numbers. There are four different types:
Arithmetic•Used to generate basic mathematical processes between values •For example: (+) addition, (*) multiplication and (/) for division

Comparison•Used to review two numbers for a specific degree and confirm or deny it•For example: (=) equal to, (>) greater than and (<=) less than or equal to
