FORMULAS
Formula is a mathematical equation that
calculates new values from existing values.
In Excel, Each formula should begin with
an equal sign.
The common operators used in formulas
are: add (+), subtract (-), multiply (*),
divide (/).
As a rule, formulas do not contain
spaces.
Types of Formula
Manual / Hand written formula
e.g. =A1+B1+C1
Inbuilt formula (Functions) e.g.
SUM, MAX, MIN,
Create a formula
 Click the cell in which you want to enter the
formula.
 Type = (an equal sign)
 Select the cell / Type cell reference
 Insert an Operator to specify the calculation
(eg =A4 + B4+C4+D4)
 Press ENTER.
Parts of Formula
Equal sign (=)
Function (Operator)
Cell range e.g. C1:G5
OPERATORS

Operators are symbols that specify


the type of operation/calculation
that you want to perform on the
elements of a formula.
e.g. +,-,*,/
Microsoft Excel includes different
types of calculation operators these
are:-
Arithmetic Operators
Comparison Operators
Arithmetic operators

To perform basic mathematical


operations such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication, or
division; combine numbers; and
produce numeric results
Comparison operators

You can compare two values with


comparison operators.
When using these operators
compares two values, the result is
a logical value either TRUE or
FALSE.
EXCEL FUNCTIONS
Functions are predefined formulas
which are already available in Excel.
Formula contains functions
The following formulas contain
functions.
IF FUNCTION
IF function is used to conduct
conditional tests on values and
formulas.
It returns TRUE value if a condition
you specify evaluates to true and
FALSE if it evaluates to false.
Parts of IF Function

Logical test

True part (value_if_true)

False part (value_if_false)


Syntax

= IF (logical test, value_if_true, value_if_false)


Logical test is any value or
expression that can be evaluated to
TRUE or FALSE.
Value_if_true is the value that is
returned if logical test is TRUE.
Value_if_false is the value that is
returned if logical test is FALSE.
Example

=IF(Price>=5000, “Expensive”, “Cheap”)


EXCEL CHARTS
Charts are Graphical representation of
data. They allow you to illustrate your
workbook data graphically, which
