EXERCISE ANSWERS

Write the format of the functions used in MS Excel to perform the following tasks

Question 1

To calculate the average of 82, 67, 80, 74 and 95.

Answer

=AVERAGE(82,67,80,74,95)

Question 2

To find the highest value of the cell references from D3 to K3.

Answer

=MAX(D3:K3)

Question 3

To calculate the sum of the first five multiples of 7.

Answer

=SUM(7,14,21,28,35)

Question 4

To determine the lowest value of the cell references from A4 to A12.

Answer

=MIN(A4:A12)

Question 5

To find the sum of all the prime numbers from 1 to 10.

Answer

=SUM(2,3,5,7)
Question 6

To find the arithmetical mean of the cell references from E4 to K4.

Answer

=AVERAGE(E4:K4)

Spot the error in each of the following

Question 1

=SUM ('C9':C14)

Answer

=SUM(C9:C14)

Question 2

=$B*$3*C$

Answer

=$B$3 * C$4

Question 3

=COUNT(9, 12, 17, 26, A$)

Answer

=COUNT(9, 12, 17, 26)

This will give the output as 4 since there are 4 numeric values given as input to the count function.

Question 4

=AVERAGE(A1:An)/n

Answer

=AVERAGE(A1:An)

where 'n' is the row number of the cell till where the average is required.

Question 5

=MAX('19', 70, 101)

Answer

=MAX(19,70,101)
Question 5

=ADD(24+54+77-38)

Answer

=SUM(24,54,77)-38

SUBJECTIVE

Explain the following functions

Question 1

=SUM(C5:H5)

Answer

This function calculates the sum of the cell references from C5 to H5.

Question 2

=AVERAGE (K12:K50)

Answer

This function calculates the average of the cell references from K12 to K50.

Question 3

=COUNT (B15:B35)

Answer

This function counts the number of cells which contain numeric values, in the range of cells from B15 to
B35.

Question 4

=MAX (A4:A14)

Answer

This function finds the highest value among the cell references from A4 to A14.

Explain the three types of referencing

Question 1

Relative Referencing

Answer
In Relative Referencing, when the formula is copied to a new cell, the corresponding cell address
changes with reference to the new cell address.

For example, consider the formula '=SUM(A1:A5)' in A6 for calculating the total from A1 to A5. Here
the relative positions of the cells are specified. When this formula is copied to B6 or C6, it will
automatically get adjusted as below:

For B6, it will become =SUM(B1:B5)


For C6, it will become =SUM(C1:C5)

Question 2

Absolute Referencing

Answer

In Absolute Referencing, the address of the cells is specified in a way that it remains constant when the
formula is copied to a new cell. To keep the cell value absolute, apply the '$' sign before the column
name, as well as the row number.

For example, let us consider that cell C6 has the formula =A6*B6*$F$3. The formula takes the relative
cell values from A6 and B6, and the absolute value from the cell F3. When this formula is copied to C7
or C8, it will automatically get adjusted as below:

For C7, it will become =A7*B7*$F$3


For C8, it will become =A8*B8*$F$3

Question 3

Mixed Referencing

Answer

Mixed Referencing is a combination of relative and absolute referencing. In this reference, the data of
one cell is kept absolute and other is made relative and finally they are operated together in a formula.

For example, let us consider that cell B5 has the formula =$B$3*B$4. When this formula is copied to C5
and D5, it will automatically get adjusted as below:

For C5, it will become =$B$3*C$4


For D5, it will become =$B$3*D$4
