Text functions
10. Left()- This function is used to find characters from left side of the string .
=Left(“FLOPPY DISK”,4)- FLOP
11. Right()-This function is used to find characters from Right side of the string .
Right(“FLOPPY DISK”,4)-Disk
12. Mid()- This function is used to find characters from middle of the string starting .
=Mid(“FLOPPY DISK”,2,3)-LOP
13. Upper()- This function is used to convert lowercase alphabates into uppercase.
=Upper(“Tania-10”)=TANIA -10
14. Lower()- This function is used to convert uppercase alphabates into lowercase.
= Lower(“Tania-10”)=tania -10
15. Proper()-It is used to capitalize the first alphabet in text string and any other alphabet in
the text that follows any non -alphabetic converts all other alphabets into lowercase.
=Proper(“THIS IS EXCEL”)- This is excel
16. Len()- This function is used to find length of a string
=LEN(“ABC”)- 3
17. Trim()- This function is used to remove all the blank spaces except single blank spaces
between two words.
=Trim (“THIS IS EXCEL”)= (“THIS IS EXCEL”)

formats.
=Fixed(1333.3333,2)=1,333.33
Maths function
19. Sum()-Adds all the number in a range of cells. if there is text entry in the range then it will
be ignored the text.
=Sum(A2:A4)-
20. Sumif()- Adds all the numbers in a range of cells for which given condition is true.
21. Averageif()-This function is used to find average of all the numbers in a range of cells for
which given condition is true.
22. Count()-Counts the number of cells that contains number . remember date and time is
treated as number.
23. Counta()- Counts the number of cells that are not empty.
24. Countablank()-Counts the number of cells that are empty .
25. CountIf()-This function will count number of cells that are satisfying a given conditions.
26. Small()- This function returns the KthSmallest value in data set.
27. Correl()- This function return the correlation coefficicent of the array1 , arry2 cell range
use the correlation coefficient to determine the relationship between two properties
Logical function ()-
28. If()- This function is used to check a condition , if a condition is true then true part of IF is
solved otherwise false part If is solved.
=IF(Condition, true, false)
29. AND()- This function is used to combine two or more condition . if all the condition are true
then it will return true otherwise false.
30. OR()- This function is used to combine two or more conditions . if any one conditions is true
then it will return true otherwise false.
Visual basic Function

Left(“Computer”,1)- Will display C
2. Right()-This function returns a number of characters from the end of a string
Right(“Computer”,1)- Will display r
3. Mid()- This function returns a number of characters starting from a given position .
Mid(“computer”,4,3)- Will display put
4. Len()- This function returns length of a string
Len(“Computer”)- Will display 8
5. Lcase()- This function converts upper case alphabet into lower case.
Lcase(“VISUAL BASIC -6”)-Will display Visual basic-6
6. Ucase()-This function converts lower case alphabet into upper case
Ucase(“Visual basic-6”)-Will display VISUAL BASIC -6
