Simple Formulas
Aformulais an equation that
performs a calculation. Like a
calculator, Excel can execute
formulas that add, subtract, multiply,
and divide.
One of the most useful features of
Excel is its ability to calculate using a
cell address to represent the value in
a cell. This is called using a cell
reference.

Creating Simple
Formulas
Excel uses standard operators for equations,
such as aplus signfor addition (+), aminus
signfor subtraction (-), anasteriskfor
multiplication (*), aforward slashfor
division (/), and acaret(^) for exponents.
The key thing to remember when writing
formulas for Excel is that all formulas must
begin with anequal sign(=). This is
because the cell contains, or is equal to, the
formula and its value.

Creating Formulas with Cell References

To Create a Formula Using Cell


References:
Select the cell where the answer will
appear (B3, for example).

Type theequal sign (=).


Type the cell address that contains
the first number in the equation (B1,
for example).

Type the operator you need for your


formula. For example, type
theaddition sign (+).
Type the cell address that contains
the second number in the equation
(B2, for example).

If you change a value in either B1 or


B2, the total will automatically
recalculate.

To Create a Formula using the Point and Click


Method:

To Edit a Formula:
Click on the cell you want to edit.
Insert the cursor in theformula
barand edit the formula as desired.
You can alsodouble-click the cell
