Exell Formule PT ARH

This document provides an introduction to using basic formulas in Microsoft Excel. It explains that Excel uses standard mathematical operators like +, -, *, /, and ^ for formulas. All formulas must begin with an equals sign (=). Simple examples are provided to demonstrate how to enter a formula by selecting a cell, typing the equals sign, entering the formula, and pressing Enter. Common Excel functions are then listed and explained, such as SUM, MIN, MAX, AVERAGE, and IF. Formulas allow users to perform calculations and analyze data in Excel.

Back when you were a student at architecture school, Microsoft Excel was probably not on the top of

your most used and mastered computer software. However, now as a graduate, practicing real-life
architecture, you have most likely realized that you actually need this spreadsheet and graphing
software you have been trying to avoid for long. After all, there is no better tool you can use to compose
a well-organized and formatted bill of quantities. And, if you are reading this, then you have probably
thought that it is about time you learn more about Excel Formulas.

How to create simple Excel formulas

Excel uses standard operators for equations, such as a plus sign for addition (+), minus sign for
subtraction (-), asterisk for multiplication (*), forward slash for division (/), and caret (^) for exponents.

The key thing to remember when writing formulas for Excel is that all formulas must begin with an
equals sign (=). This is because the cell contains—or is equal to—the formula and its value.

Standard operators

To create a simple formula in Excel:

Select the cell where the answer will appear (B4, for example).

Selecting cell B4

Type the equals sign (=).

Type in the formula you want Excel to calculate (75/250, for example).

Entering formula in B4

Press Enter. The formula will be calculated, and the value will be displayed in the cell.

Result in B4

If the result of a formula is too large to be displayed in a cell, it may appear as pound signs (#######)
instead of a value. This means the column is not wide enough to display the cell content. Simply increase
the column width to show the cell content. Excel might seem a bit confusing in the beginning, but once
you get familiar with the basic formulae, tools, and shortcuts, you will find it quite handy. So, here we
will help you get accustomed to it by providing you with a list of some of the most commonly used and
quite helpful formulae which will get you started and rolling.

1. SUM It sums all the values within a defined range, for a single or multiple rows or columns.
=SUM(A1:F1)

=SUM(A1:A7)
2. MIN It gives the “smallest” value within a defined range. =MIN(A1:F1)

=MIN(A1:A7)

3. MAX It gives the “largest” value within a defined range. =MAX(A1:F1)

=MAX(A1:A7)

4. AVERAGE It calculates the average / Arithmetic mean for a defined range.


=AVERAGE(A1:F1)

=AVERAGE(A1:A7)

5. COUNT It counts the cells containing numbers within a defined range. =COUNT(A1:F1)

=COUNT(A1:A7)

6. COUNTA It counts all non-empty cells within a defined range, regardless the content.
=COUNTA(A1:F1)

=COUNTA(A1:A7)

7. COUNTBLANK It counts the empty cells within a defined range. =COUNTBLANK(A1:F1)

=COUNTBLANK(A1:A7)

8. IF It gives one of two different outcomes depending on whether a condition is satisfied or not.
=IF(Condition, “if true value”, “if false value”)

=IF(A1<B1, “Yes”, “NO”)

9. SUMIF It operates the SUM only if a given condition is satisfied. =SUMIF(B1:B7, “<100”)

10. SUMIFS It operates the SUM only if multiple conditions are satisfied. =SUMIFS(B1:B7, B1:B7,
“>10”, B1:B7, “<100”)

11. COUNTIF It counts cells with numbers that satisfy the specified conditions only.
=COUNTIF(A1:A7, “>10″)

12. ROUND It rounds numbers to specified number of digits. =ROUND(8.39,1)

. . 8.39 will be 8.4

13. ROUNDUP It defines the direction of the rounding to upwards. =ROUNDUP(8.39,0)


. . 8.39 will be 9

14. ROUNDDOWN It defines the direction of the rounding to upwards. =ROUNDDOWN(8.39, 1) .


. 8.39 will be 8.3

15. Floor It rounds a number down to a specified multiple. =Floor(B2, 1000)

e.g. 1350 will be 1000

16. Ceiling It rounds a number up to a specified multiple. =Ceiling(B2, 1500)

e.g. 1350 will be 1500
