2. At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to:
1. familiarize with the most commonly used functions in
Microsoft Excel;
2. use several conditional functions available in Microsoft
Excel; and
3. use Microsoft Excel as a viable tool in market research
and product development.
3. Microsoft Excel provides an
automated way of displaying any
statistical data. It can be used to
automatically compute for several
factors that are not easy to notice
especially when faced by a large
data. Microsoft Excel includes several
arithmetic and basic functions that
help you compute faster.
4. Basic Excel Formulas:
Addition (+)
Subtraction (-)
Multiplication (*)
Division (/)
*type <=> before the formula, thus:
=a1+a2 <then, hit the ENTER key>
5. • Average – a function used to compute for the
average of the number of a range.
• COUNTIF – a function used to count the cells with a
specified content within a range.
• SUMIF – a function used to compute for the
summation of a range if a certain condition is met
• AVERAGEIF – a function used to compute for the
average of a range if a certain condition is met
Editor's Notes
Show sample computations using Microsoft Excel.
Show and tell. Show the students how to use the following functions/conditions. Afterwards, let them do the same. (see: worktext)
