FUNCTIONS IN MS-EXCEL
Functions are nothing but in-built formulae. They are the
simplified formulas already inserted in the computer. In other
words, the simplified form of formula is function.
All functions begin with an equals sign [=]. That way Excel knows not
to treat the arguments as text. For example, =AVERAGE(2,4) is a
function but AVERAGE(2,4) is just a string of text. Without an equals
sign, Excel will not calculate a result. The arguments in this function
are 2 and 4.
FUNCTIONS IN MS-EXCEL
Note, Excel uses upper-case letters to list functions, but you can
use lower or upper-case letters when you write them.
