The document discusses various Excel functions including SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, COUNT, COUNTIF, SUMIF, AVERAGEIF, VLOOKUP, IF, RANK, SORT, RANGE, criteria, average range, sum range, columns, rows, and accounting number format. Examples are provided to demonstrate how each function works such as using SUM(A1:A10) to add the values in cells A1 through A10.

Examples are provided to demonstrate how each function works such as using SUM(A1:A10) to add the values in cells A1 through A10.
The SUM function adds values. You can add individual values, cell references or ranges or a mix of all three.
For example:
=SUM(A2:A10) Adds the values in cells A2:10.
=SUM(A2:A10, C2:C10) Adds the values in cells A2:10, as well as cells C2:C10.
2. Average Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of the arguments.
For example:
If the range A1:A20 contains numbers, the formula =AVERAGE(A1:A20)
returns the average of those numbers.
3. Min Min function simply returns the minimum or lowest value from the selected range of numbers; whether a number is positive or negative, it will return the lowest number in both manners.
For example:
=MIN(A1:B5) — This Excel function determines the smallest value among the cell range of A1 to B5. Excel returns a value of 20 (cell A4). =MIN(B1:B5,100) — The arguments in this MIN function include a cell range and a number.
4. Max MAX will return the largest value in a given list of arguments. From a given set of numeric values, it will return the highest value.
For example:
=MAX(C4:C19)
=MAX(G4:G19)
5. Count The COUNT function is generally used to count the number of cells in Excel or array of numbers.
For Example:
To count the numbers between A1 and A20, you may enter the following formula: =COUNT(A1:A20). For example, if the range contains three cells containing numbers, the result is 3.
6. Countif
Excel COUNTIF function is used for counting cells within a specified range that meet a certain criterion, or condition. For example:
you can write a COUNTIF formula to find out how many cells in your worksheet contain a number greater than or less than the number you specify
7. Sumif
You use the SUMIF function to sum the values in a range that meet criteria that you specify.
For example:
suppose that in a column that contains numbers, you want to sum only the values that are larger than 5. 8. Averageif
Returns the average of a range depending on criteria.
For example:
We are given the total cost of preparation of three items. Using
=AVERAGEIF(B5:B7, “=”, C5:C7) formula, Excel will calculate an average of cell B5:B7 only if a cell in Column A in the same row is empty 9. Vlookup
To find things in a table or a range by row.
For example:
look up a price of an automotive part by the part number, or find an employee
name based on their employee ID. 10. If
The IF function in Excel performs a logical comparison between two values.
The result of the IF function is either TRUE or FALSE.
For example:
W can test if the value in cell B2 is greater than the value in cell A2. If so, the result is TRUE, if not, the result is FALSE. 11. Rank
Returns the rank of a number in a list of numbers. The rank of a number is its size relative to other values in a list. (If you were to sort the list, the rank of the number would be its position.)
For example:
=RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$11)
For ascending order, type a 1, or any other number except zero. If you were comparing golf scores, you could type a 1, to rank in ascending order. 12. Sort
Sorting is the process of arranging data into meaningful order so that you can analyze it more effectively.
For example:
You might want to order sales data by calendar month so that you can produce a graph of sales performance. You can use Discoverer to sort data as follows: sort text data into alphabetical order. 13. Range
A f range is usually a reference to a range of cells, within which a formula
persists consistently throughout the full range. Cell references within this formula can however be relative.
For example:
Enter the data into A1 through A10.
Enter the formula =SMALL(A1:A10) into cell B1.
In cell B2, enter the formula =LARGE(A1:A10).
Subtract the two formulas by entering =B2-B1 into cell C1.
You now have the range of your data.
14. Criteria
Defines the condition that tells the function which cells to count. It can be a number, text string, cell reference or expression.
For example:
You can use the criteria like these: “10”, A2, “>=10”, “some text”. 15. Average Range
Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of the arguments.
For example:
if the range A1:A20 contains numbers, the formula =AVERAGE(A1:A20)
returns the average of those numbers. 16. Sum Range
The range of cells to add if the condition is satisfied.
For example:
To sum a range of cells in Excel, you can use the SUM function. For example, to sum the range A1:A5, you would use the following formula: =SUM(A1:A5). 17. Column
A column in an Excel spreadsheet is a vertical group of cells. Each cell in a
column is identified by a column header.
For example:
In a list of employee names, the column header might be “Employee
Name.”
18. Row
A row in an Excel spreadsheet is a horizontal group of cells. Each row is
identified by a row number, which is displayed on the left side of the spreadsheet. 19. Orientation
Orientation in excel refers to the way in which data is arranged on a
worksheet. For example:
Data can be arranged in columns, rows, or a combination of both.
20. Accounting Number Format
The accounting number format in excel is a number format that is used to align decimal points in a worksheet. This format is often used in financial reports and statements. The accounting number format in excel can be applied to cells that contain numbers, text, or both.
