FORMULA
 FORMULA
Formula is an equation that performs
operation on worksheet data. A
formula in Microsoft Excel always
begins with an equal sign (=).
 TERMINOLOGIES
Range – The range of cells where you
want to look for the criteria
Criteria – a value or label that
determines if a cell is part of the range
to be calculated
 SYMBOLS
= - equals to or when inputting formula
: - To
, - and or separating cells
() – enclosing formulas
“” – when inputting a criteria
> - greater than
< - less than
 SUM
SUM function is used to add numeral
values, cell references, or ranges.
FORMULA DESCRIPTION
=SUM(range) Adding range of cells
=SUM(range, Adding two columns of range of
range) cells
=SUM(range, cell Adding range of cells and one
reference) cell reference)
 SUMIF
SUMIF function is used to sum the values
in a range that meet criteria that you
specify.
FORMULA DESCRIPTION
=SUMIF(range, Adding range of cells if only the
criteria, range of cells meet the criteria
[sum_range])
 Situation
Calculate the total number of school
supplies bought.
Calculate the total number of school
supplies in dozen.
 Situation
Calculate the amount spent on school
supplies.
Calculate the total amount spent if it
only exceeds Php 500.00
 AVERAGE
AVERAGE function is used to calculate
the average of a range of cells.

FORMULA DESCRIPTION
=AVERAGE(range/ Average of a range of cells
cells involved)
=AVERAGE(range1, Average of two range of cells
range2)
 AVERAGEIF
AVERAGEIF calculates the average of all
numbers in a range of cells based on a
given criterion.
FORMULA DESCRIPTION
=AVERAGEIF(range Calculate the average of a range
, criteria, of cells if only certain criteria is
[average_range]) met
 Situation
Calculate Mark’s average grade on 1st
Quarter and 2nd Quarter.
Calculate the General Average of the first
two quarters.
Calculate the Average if it exceeds 80.
 COUNT
COUNT function is used to count the
number of cells that contain a number in
a range.
FORMULA DESCRIPTION
=COUNT(range) Counting number of a range of
cells
 COUNTIF
COUNTIF formula on Excel is a function
that counts the number of cells that can
meet a given condition.
FORMULA DESCRIPTION
=COUNTIF(range, Counting number of a range of
criteria) cells if only certain criteria is
met
 MAX
MAX function is used to find the largest
value in a range of cells, or in multiple
range of cells.
FORMULA DESCRIPTION
=MAX(range) Finding the largest number in a
range of cells
=MAX(range, Finding the largest number in a
range) multiple range of cells
 MIN
MIN function is used to find the smallest
value in a range of cells.

FORMULA DESCRIPTION
=MIN(range) Finding the smallest value in a
range of cells
=MIN(range, Finding the smallest number in a
range) multiple range of cells
 IF
The IF formula allows you to test a condition and
then return one value if the condition is met and
another value if the condition is not met.

FORMULA DESCRIPTION
=IF(logical_test, logical_test argument is the
value_if_true, condition that you want to test
value_if_true argument if the value
value_if_false)
is met
value_if_false argument if the value
is not met
COMMON ERROR
VALUES
 #DIV/0!
Appears when
entering a
formula that
performs explicit
division by zero
(0)
 #DIV/0!
Appears when
entering a
formula that
performs explicit
division by zero
(0)
 #####
Appears when the
column is not wide
enough to display the
content and/or dates
and times are negative
numbers.
The solution is to
increase the column
width.
 #NAME?
Appears when the formula
refers to a range name that
doesn't exist in the
worksheet.
This error value appears
when you type the wrong
range name or fail to
enclose in quotation marks
some text used in the
formula.
 #NULL!
Appears most often
when you insert a space
(where you should have
used a comma) to
separate cell references
used as arguments for
functions
 #NUM!
Appears when Excel
encounters a problem with
a number in the formula,
such as the wrong type of
argument in an Excel
function or a calculation
that produces a number
too large or too small to be
represented in the
worksheet.
 #REF!
Appears when Excel
encounters an invalid
cell reference, such as
when you delete a cell
referred to in a formula
or paste cells over the
cells referred to in a
formula.
 #VALUE!
Appears when you use
the wrong type of
argument or operator in
a function, or when you
call for a mathematical
operation that refers to
cells that contain text
entries.
