formula must start with an equal sign, then followed by combinations of data, operators, cell
addresses and functions.
A spreadsheet operator like +- is a sign for specifying an elementary type of operation that
one wants to perform on the data in a formula. Arithmetic operators and comparison
operators are two main types of operators being used in Microsoft Excel 207.
A pair of round brackets can be added in the formula to specify that the operations within the
round brackets must be performed first as in ordinary mathematical expressions.
Spreadsheet functions like SUM and COS are operations predefined by the spreadsheet
software. There are many different types of functions available in Microsoft excel 2007,
including mathematical functions, statistical functions and logical functions.
When you use a spreadsheet function, you may have to provide it with arguments which can
be some datas, cell ranges and or other conditions within a pair round bracket that comes
along with every cell. A value corresponding to what you have inputted will then be returned.
