COUNTA: count how many numbers/text within selected cells (numbers & text)
COUNTIF: count how many numbers within selected cells with A condition
COUNTIF: count how many numbers within selected cells with few conditions

AVERAGE: to get the average number of the selected cell range (i.e. Midian)
AVERAGEIF: to get the average number of the selected cell range with a condition
4. LEFT, RIGHT, MID, UPPER, LOWER, PROPER, CONCATENATE
LEFT/RIGHT/MID: to get few letters (pre-defined by condition) from the selected cell (from the left/right/mid →
depends on the formula typed)
UPPER/LOWER: to change the letters to upper/lowercase
PROPER: change letters as uppercase for the first letter, and the rest will be lowercase
CONCATENATE: (similar as i.e. =A1&B1&C1) to combine few cells merged into one cell

7. VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP
VLOOKUP: lookup/search “text/numbers” from the table made in column format (kolom kebawah) → usually
the lookup value must be in the left side
HLOOKUP: lookup/search “text/numbers” from the table made in rows format (kolomnya kesamping)
8. INDEX, MATCH, INDEX&MATCH
INDEX: similar with vlookup, to search exact text from the table by defining the row and column
MATCH: to search the position (from column/row number) from the table
INDEX & MATCH: (i.e. =index(......;match(........)) substitute of vlookup; to get the right data from the list
→ Advantage: to get accurate result, so eventhough the list position are changed to other column, the
search result won’t be changed. As opposed to vlookup, it will be changed
9. IFERROR
IFERROR: to show desired text (i.e. blank; n.a.) if the calculation does not contain any number (i.e. kalo
formula bagi biasa bakal nunjukin #value/error, jadi bisa pake ini untuk penggantinya)
