Excel Basic Functions

### 1. `SUM`

Description: Adds all the numbers in a range of cells.

- Syntax: `SUM(number1, [number2], ...)`

- Example: `=SUM(A1:A10)` will add all the numbers in the range A1 to A10.

### 2. `AVERAGE`

Description: Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of the numbers provided.

- Syntax: `AVERAGE(number1, [number2], ...)`

- Example: `=AVERAGE(B1:B10)` will calculate the average of the numbers in the range B1 to B10.

### 3. `MIN`

Description: Returns the smallest number in a set of values.

- Syntax: `MIN(number1, [number2], ...)`

- Example: `=MIN(C1:C10)` will find the smallest number in the range C1 to C10.

### 4. `MAX`

Description: Returns the largest number in a set of values.

- Syntax: `MAX(number1, [number2], ...)`

- Example: `=MAX(D1:D10)` will find the largest number in the range D1 to D10.

### 5. `COUNT`

Description: Counts the number of cells that contain numbers within a specified range.

- Syntax: `COUNT(value1, [value2], ...)`

- Example: `=COUNT(E1:E10)` will count the number of cells that contain numbers in the range E1 to
E10.

### 6. `COUNTA`

Description: Counts the number of cells that are not empty in a specified range.

### 7. `COUNTBLANK`

Description: Counts the number of empty cells in a specified range.

- Syntax: `COUNTBLANK(range)`

### 8. `SMALL`

Description: Returns the k-th smallest value in a data set.

- Syntax: `SMALL(array, k)`

- Example: `=SMALL(H1:H10, 2)` will return the second smallest value in the range H1 to H10.

### 9. `LARGE`

Description: Returns the k-th largest value in a data set.

- Syntax: `LARGE(array, k)`

- Example: `=LARGE(I1:I10, 3)` will return the third largest value in the range I1 to I10.

These functions are fundamental for data analysis and manipulation in Excel, providing a range of
capabilities from basic arithmetic to more complex data filtering.
