Introduction to Excel Spreadsheets are often used to:

Perform basic mathematical operations Find values such as profit or loss Find the average, maximum, or minimum

values in a specified range Graph or chart data to assist users in

identifying data trends Sort and filter data to find specific

information

Formulas Formulas are the real workhorses of an

Excel worksheet If you set up a formula properly, it

computes the answer when you enter it into a cell From then on, it keeps itself up to date,

recalculating the results whenever you change any of the values that the formula uses

All formulas begin with the = sign

Formulas Addition

Select the cell you would like this information to be in. Type =, then select or type the first cell, followed by the + symbol, and then type or select the next cell you want to add. Press Enter i.e. =A2+B2

Formulas Adding

If you are adding consecutive numbers in a column or row, you can use the SUM formula. Type =SUM, and then the range you would like to add in parenthesis (you can type or select the range with your mouse). i.e. =SUM(C2:C4)

Formulas Subtraction

Select the cell you would like this information to be in. Type =, then select or type the first cell, followed by the – symbol, and then type or select the next cell. Press Enter i.e. =A2-B2

Formulas Multiplication

Select the cell you would like this information to be in. Type =, then select or type the first cell, followed by the * symbol, and then type or select the next cell. Press Enter i.e. =A2*B2

Formulas Division

Select the cell you would like this information to be in. Type =, then select or type the first cell, followed by the / symbol, and then type or select the next cell. Press Enter i.e. =A2/B2

Graphs Charts and graphs are a great way of

representing your data Excel offers almost every chart type and

makes it easier to draw them so that your data can quickly be understood
