    ANALYZING INFORMATION

    USING ICT

    FUNCTIONS AND FORMULAS IN AN ELECTRONIC


    SPREAD SHEET TOOL TO PERFORM ADVANCED
    CALCULATIONS ON NUMERICAL DATA
    An electronic spread sheet application
    program is designed to perform basic
    mathematical and arithmetic operations.
    MS Excel is one example of the most
    commonly used computerized
    worksheets. It is widely used in
    accounting and financial applications,
    statistics, statistics, engineering
    calculations, as well as in analyzing data.
    Spread sheets are designed with
    functions and formulas that will make
    calculating numerical data easier and
    convenient for you. Using formulas and
    functions will help you increase the
    accuracy of your calculations while
    decreasing the amount of time you need
    to spend in Excel.
    THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF FUNCTIONS FOUND IN
    EXCEL. ALL THESE CAN BE ACCESSED USING EITHER OF
    THE FOLLOWING METHODS:
    Click the Insert Function button-fx from
    the left side of formulas tab.
    Select a function from one of the lists in the
    Insert Function dialog box. Then click OK.
    A Function Arguments dialog box will
    appear that will automatically assist you to
    input numbers in your selected function.
    This window indicates what each function
    does and the arguments that each
    function considers.
    Directly,
    input numbers into the cells. Useful
    prompts showing the format of the function and
    the arguments that should be inserted will
    appear. You may also use the mouse to click
    desired ranges that you want to include in the
    function. Then the cells’ address will
    automatically be inserted in your function. Then
    the cells’ address will automatically inserted in
    your function. Once the numbers are typed in
    the dialog box, click OK.
    Theanswer to the Function is shown in
    the cell.
    Symbol Operation Example Purpose
    + Addition = A1 + B2 It adds the values of cell A1
    and B2
    - Subtraction + A1 – B2 It subtracts the values of
    Cell A1 and B2

    * Multiplication = A1 * B2 It multiplies the values of


    cell A1 and B2

    / Division = A1/B2 It divides the values of cell


    A1 and B2
    MS EXCEL CHART
    A CHART IS A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF DATA IN
    WORKSHEET OF THE SPREAD SHEET PROGRAM. IT
    MAKES IT EASY TO STUDY AND INTERPRET DATA.
     Mathematical.
    These include mathematical functional such as
    AVERAGE(), SUM(), etc.
     Dateand Time. These are concerned with the date and time
    such as DATEVALUE() that converts dates written in texts to
    numbers.
     Logical.These are used whether arguments, texts, or values are
    true or not depending on the set standard.
     Lookup Reference. These functions are used when looking for
    an entry or value in the spread sheet.
    THERE ARE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF
    FUNCTIONS. SOME OF WHICH ARE THE
    FOLLOWING:
    BELOW ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE
    COMMONLY USED FUNCTIONS:
    SUM This is used to add two or more numbers together. Cell references
    are used in this formula.
    Separate numbers or cell references by commas then it will
    automatically be added.
    Example = SUM(9, 14) or = SUM(A1, B3) or SUM(A@:C9)
    For range of cells, separate them with a colon.
    Example: = SUM(A2:C9)

    AVERAGE This is used to calculate average of a series of numbers.


    Example = AVERAGE(A1:A10)
    COUNT This is used to count the number of cells in a range that have
    numbers in them. For instance, if there are five cells that contain
    numbers in A1 to A 15, then the result is 5.
    Example = COUNT(A1:A15)
    COUNT This is used to count the number of cells that have numbers and/or
    any other characters in them. It works with all data types.
    LEA This is used to return the length or a string or an entry.
    Example = LEN(entrepreneurship) is 16
    Formulas, on the other hand, are combinations
    of functions, operands, and operators. These are
    used when you are manually calculating. For
    example, you could put your hanging organizer
    budget into a formula like this:
    Remaining cash = total cost of materials – labor
    Input the formula in Excel:
    = 82-30, then press Enter. The answer is 52, which
    is the remaining cash for your hanging organizer
    project.
