This document provides an overview of key formulas and functions in Excel including logical operators, math formulas, text formulas, date and time formulas, lookup and reference formulas, information formulas, filters, pivot tables, and charts. Logical operators allow you to perform logical tests like AND, OR, and IF. Math formulas include SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, and MAX. Text formulas extract or manipulate text. Date and time formulas work with dates. Lookup formulas like VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP find values. Information formulas check for errors, blanks, or if a cell contains a formula. Filters, pivot tables, and charts help analyze and visualize data.

4. If Operator
what does it do?
4
• The If Function can perform a logical test
and return one value for a TRUE Result,
and another for a False Result.
IF(Logical Test,value_if_true,value_if_false)
Example - IF(A1>35,“Pass” ,“Fail”)

5. IFERROR Operator
What does it do?
5
• The IFERROR function can perform a
logical test and return one value for a
TRUE result, and another if there is error
in formula/value.
IFERROR IF
(A1/B1,“Valid Value” ,“Error in calculation”)

6. AND Operator
What does it do?
6
• Return TRUE if all of the argument
evaluate to TRUE
IF(AND(A1>35,B1>35), “PASS”, “FAIL”,

7. OR Operator
What does it do?
7
• Return TRUE if all of the argument
evaluate to TRUE
IF(OR(A1>75,B1>75), “GOOD JOB”, “IMPROVE”)

17. COUNTBLANK
What does it do?
17
• Count the numbers of blank cells. COUNTBLANK(range),
COUNTBLANK(range1,range2,range3)

18. COUNTIF
What does it do?
18
• Count the numbers of cells in a range that
match the supplied criteria. COUNTIF(range, criteria)

19. COUNTIFS
What does it do?
19

both values are the same. Exact (text1,text2)

22. FIND
What does it do?
22
• Used to return the position of a specific
character or substring within a text string. Find(Text to find, source text,optional_start_position)

23. SEARCH
