Make an excel sheet by your name, make two workbooks in a sheet with the names Data and Summary.
Enter following data in “Data” Workbook.
In summary workbook calculate Average marks of students, Standard deviation (P), and using IF Function

Understanding a function
• Functions are formulas that Excel has predefined. These functions are
designed to take you beyond the basic arithmetic and text formulas.
For example …
• Excel has various function categories, including the following:
• Text, Logical, Information, Lookup and reference, Date and time, Math and
trigonometry, Statistical, Financial, Database and table
• The Structure of a Function: Every function has the same basic form:
FUNCTION( argument1 , argument2 , ...)
• function with arguments and no argument (PV,NOW)
• required and optional (FV( rate , nper , pmt [, pv ][, type ]))
Understanding a function
• Arguments can take any of the following forms:
• Literal alphanumeric values
• Expressions
• Cell or range references
• Range names
• Arrays
• The result of another function
• Entering function two ways
• Entering = sign
• Using function feature
