M.S. Excel is a Spreadsheet application and an
application software.
Spreadsheet application is a tool which is used to
perform all kinds of calculations (simple and
complex) easily and accurately.
MS. Excel can also store, manipulate and create
graphical representations of data.
MS. Excel also provide formula and built-
functions for common mathematical, financial,
statistical, and logical operations in a very
sophisticated manner.

FormulaFormula - Any expressions that begins with an equals ‘=’ is treated as formula.
In the expression, the ‘=’ followed by values, cell address and functions are called
as formula.When a formula is entered in a cell in a worksheet the value of the
equation is displayed in the cell and the formula is shown in the formula bar.

of operator in it.

Basic formula involves only one type of operator in it.

Compound formula involves more than one type
Eg. =A1+B1-C1

We can also perform addition on character and string data type
The ampersand symbol (&)
f two text values.
Addition of two or more text values is called
r eg.- Let, A1=sunbeam and A2=
=A1 & A2
the result is sunbeamsuncity

ampersand symbol (&) is used to perform addition
Addition of two or more text values is called Concatenation

 A block of adjacent cells in a
worksheet which isworksheet which is
highlighted or selected is
called a range of cells.
 i.e. A range in Excel is a
collection of two or more
cells.

The cell address that we
use in the formula is
known as the cell
reference.reference.
The cell reference is the
code that identify a cell.

 Relative referencing
 Mixed referencing
 Absolute referencing

A cell reference or relative cell
reference describes how far away
a cell or group of cells is from
another cell in the same spreadsheet.
When dealing with aWhen dealing with a
spreadsheet formula, the relative cell
reference is the default behavior of a
formula.
When you copy or move the formula
to other cells, the reference to the cell
automatically gets changed.

 An absolute reference is a
reference that will not be
changed during the process of
copy.copy.
 We can also said that the
reference is blocked or fixed.
 To use absolute reference in a
cell, we need to add dollar ($)
sign before the column and
row number.
 For eg.- $A$1

 It is a combination of Relative and
Absolute reference.
 A mixed cell reference is either an
absolute column and relative row or
absolute row and relative column.absolute row and relative column.
 When you add the $ before the
column letter you create an absolute
column or before the row number you
create an absolute row.

A function is a predefined
formula that performs
calculations using specific
values in a particular order.values in a particular order.
Used to perform both simple
and complex calculations.
Function saves time and
eliminate the chance to write
wrong formulas.

All Excel functions must begin
with = sign
Function name must be a validFunction name must be a valid
Excel name.
Function name must be
followed by an opening and
closing parenthesis.
Arguments are enclosed in the
parenthesis.

A great place to
explore functions is in
the Function
Library on the
Formulas tab.
