Chapter: 5.4 Handling Operators Topic: 5.4.1 Handling Operators

Excel uses formulas containing operators to calculate and analyze worksheet data. There are four types of operators: arithmetic operators for basic math functions; comparison operators for logical comparisons that return True/False; a text operator that joins text with the ampersand; and reference operators that combine cell references. Formulas begin with an equal sign and can reference cell values and names to perform operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Handling Operators
 Excel allows the user to use formulae to calculate and analyze data in their
worksheet.
 A formula uses the values in cells to perform operations such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division.
 Formulas need mathematical operators such as (+, - , *, /) and can use the cell
reference or cell names for referring to the contents of a cell.
 A formula always begins with an equal (=) sign.
 Excel allows the user to use formulae to calculate and analyze data in their
worksheet.

 Arithmetic operator
 These are used to perform basic mathematical operations, and to combine
numeric values to produce numeric result.

 Comparison operators
 These are used to compare two values and produce a logical result either
True or False, 0 (Zero) or 1 (one). The following are the Logical operators.

 Text operator
 This operator joins two or more text values to produce a single combined text
value.
 Text formulas use the ampersand (&) operator to work with text cells, text
strings enclosed in quotation marks, and text function results.
