1. SUM

The SUM() formula performs addition on selected cells. It works on cells containing
numerical values and requires two or more cells.

In our case, we will be applying the SUM formula to a range of cells from C2 to C5
and storing the result on C6. It will add 24, 23, 21, and 31. You can also apply this
formula to multiple columns.

2. MIN
The MIN() formula requires a range of cells, and it returns the minimum value. For
example, we want to display the minimum weight among all athletes on the E6 cell.
The MIN formula will search for the minimum value and show 60.
2. MAX
The MAX() formula is the opposite of MIN(). It will return the maximum value from the
selected range of cells. The formula will look for the maximum value and return 82.

=MAX(E2:E5)

3. AVERAGE
The AVERAGE() formula calculates the average of selected cells. You can provide a range
of cells (C2:C5) or select individual cells (C2, C3, C5).
To calculate the average of athletes, we will select the age column, apply the average
formula, and return the result to the C7 cell. It will sum up the total values in the selected
cells and divide them by 4.

=AVERAGE(C2:C5

4. COUNT
The COUNT() formula counts the total number of selected cells. It will not count the blank
cells and different data formats other than numeric.

We will count the total number of athlete weights, and it will return 4, as we don’t have
missing values or strings.

=COUNT(E2:E5
5. POWER
In the beginning, we learned to add power using “^”, which is not an efficient way of
applying power to a cell. Instead, we recommended using the POWER() formula to square,
cube, or apply any raise to power to your cell.

In our case, we have divided D2 by 100 to get height in meters and squared it by using the
POWER formula with the second argument as 2.

=POWER(D2/100,2)
6. CEILING and FLOOR
The CEILING() formula rounds a number up to the nearest given multiple. In our case, we
will round 3.24 up to a multiple of 1 and get 4. If the multiple is 5, it will round up the
number 3.24 to 5.

=CEILING(F2,1)

7. TODAY()

The TODAY() function in Excel provides the current system date.

The function DAY() is used to return the day of the month. It will be a number between 1 to 31. 1 is
the first day of the month, 31 is the last day of the month.

The MONTH() function returns the month, a number from 1 to 12, where 1 is January and 12
is December.

The YEAR() function, as the name suggests, returns the year from a date value.
