4 Performing Basic MS Excel Formulas

What’s In

Mathematical operators

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

All formulas in Excel must begin with an equals sign (=). This is because the cell
contains, or is equal to, the formula and the value it calculates.

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 6

 What’s New

One of the most powerful features in Excel is the ability to calculate numerical
information using formulas. Just like a calculator, Excel can add, subtract, multiply, and
divide. In this lesson, we'll show you how to use cell references to create simple
formulas.

What is It

Understanding cell references

While you can create simple formulas in Excel using numbers (for
example, =2+2 or =5*5), most of the time you will use cell addresses to create a
formula. This is known as making a cell reference. Using cell references will ensure that
your formulas are always accurate because you can change the value of referenced cells
without having to rewrite the formula.
In the formula below, cell A3 adds the values of cells A1 and A2 by making cell references:

When you press Enter, the formula calculates and displays the answer in cell A3:

If the values in the referenced cells change, the formula automatically recalculates:

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 7

 By combining a mathematical operator with cell references, you can create a
variety of simple formulas in Excel. Formulas can also include a combination of cell
references and numbers, as in the examples below:

To create a formula:
In the example below, it uses a simple formula and cell references to calculate a
budget.
1. Select the cell that will contain the formula.
In the example, cell D12 selected.

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 8

 2. Type the equals sign (=). Notice how it appears in both the cell and
the formula bar.

3. Type the cell address of the cell you want to reference first in the
formula: cell D10 in our example. A blue border will appear around
the referenced cell.

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 9

 4. Type the mathematical operator you want to use. In our example,
we'll type the addition sign (+).

5. Type the cell address of the cell you want to reference second in
the formula: cell D11 in our example. A red border will appear
around the referenced cell.

6. Press Enter on your keyboard. The formula will be calculated, and

the value will be displayed in the cell. If you select the cell again,
notice that the cell displays the result, while the formula bar displays
the formula.

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 10

 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.

Modifying values with cell references

The true advantage of cell references is that they allow you to update data in your
worksheet without having to rewrite formulas. In the example below, the value of cell D10
is modified from 1,200 to 1,800. The formula in D12 will automatically recalculate and
display the new value in cell D12.

To create a formula using the point-and-click method:

Instead of typing cell addresses manually, you can point and click the cells you
want to include in your formula. This method can save a lot of time and effort when
creating formulas. In the example below, we'll create a formula to calculate the cost of
ordering several boxes of plastic silverware. (Copy the data for practice.)

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 11

 1. Select the cell that will contain the formula. In our example, we'll
select cell D4.

2. Type the equals sign (=).

3. Select the cell you want to reference first in the formula: cell B4 in
our example. The cell address will appear in the formula.

4. Type the mathematical operator you want to use. In our example,

we'll type the multiplication sign (*).

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 12

 5. Select the cell you want to reference second in the formula:
cell C4 in our example. The cell address will appear in the formula.

6. Press Enter on your keyboard. The formula will be calculated, and

the value will be displayed in the cell.

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 13

Copying formulas with the fill handle
Formulas can also be copied to adjacent cells with the fill handle, which can
save a lot of time and effort if you need to perform the same calculation multiple times
in a worksheet. The fill handle is the small square at the bottom-right corner of the
selected cell(s).

1. Select the cell containing the formula you want to copy. Click and
drag the fill handle over the cells you want to fill.

2. After you release the mouse, the formula will be copied to the
selected cells.

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 14

To edit a formula:
Sometimes you may want to modify an existing formula. In the example below, we've
entered an incorrect cell address in our formula, so we'll need to correct it.

1. Select the cell containing the formula you want to edit. In our
example, we'll select cell D12.

2. Click the formula bar to edit the formula. You can also double-
click the cell to view and edit the formula directly within the cell.

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 15

 3. A border will appear around any referenced cells. In our example,
we'll change the first part of the formula to reference
cell D10 instead of cell D9.

4. When you're finished, press Enter on your keyboard or select

the Enter command in the formula bar.

5. The formula will be updated, and the new value will be displayed
in the cell.

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 16

 If you change your mind, you can press the Esc key on your keyboard or click
the Cancel command in the formula bar to avoid accidentally making changes to your
formula.

To show all of the formulas in a spreadsheet, you can hold the Ctrl key and
press ` (grave accent). The grave accent key is usually located in the top-left corner of
the keyboard. You can press Ctrl+` again to switch back to the normal view.

What’s More

Creating more complex formulas

More complex formulas can contain several mathematical operators, such
as 5+2*8. When there's more than one operation in a formula, the order of
operations tells Excel which operation to calculate first. To write formulas that will give
you the correct answer, you'll need to understand the order of operations.

Excel calculates formulas based on the following order of operations:

1. Operations enclosed in parentheses

2. Exponential calculations (3^2, for example)

3. Multiplication and division, whichever comes first

4. Addition and subtraction, whichever comes first

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 17

To create a complex formula using the order of operations:

In the example below, we'll use cell references along with numerical values to
create a complex formula that will calculate the subtotal for a catering invoice. The
formula will calculate the cost of each menu item first, then add these values.

1. Select the cell that will contain the formula. In our example, we'll
select cell C5.

2. Enter your formula. In our example, we'll type =B3*C3+B4*C4. This

formula will follow the order of operations, first performing the
multiplication: 125*35 = 4,375 and 105*20 = 2,100. It then will add
these values to calculate the total: 4,375+2,100.

3. Double-check your formula for accuracy, then press Enter on your

keyboard. The formula will calculate and display the result. In our
example, the result shows that the subtotal for the order is 6475.

WBLS-OBE STVEP-Aligned Self-Learning Module ICF 9 18

 You can add parentheses to any equation to make it easier to read. While it won't
change the result of the formula in this example, we could enclose the multiplication
operations within parentheses to clarify that they will be calculated before the addition.
