This document discusses the different types of functions in Microsoft Excel 2003, including mathematical, statistical, financial, and database functions. Mathematical functions perform basic math operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Statistical functions analyze data, including AVERAGE, MEDIAN, MODE, MIN, and MAX. Financial functions handle time-value-of-money calculations like FV, NPER, PV, RATE, and more. Database functions extract and manipulate data from databases, such as DSUM, DCOUNT, DGET, and DVAR.

What is a function
A function is nothing but a combination of a formula
containing different mathematical operators(+,-,/,*).
in general manner a function is a combination of
separate instructions which may or may not be of similar
types.
for example:-the simple interest function in excel:-
=(cell no 1*cell no 2*cell no 3/100)
=normal formula is (principle*rate*time)/100
i.e. (b1*b2*b3/100).
the above function is prepared to calculate the simple
interest.

There are following types of functions:-
Mathematical functions they are just like the normal
functions that we have learned in our primary school:-
They are + , - , / , * .
Statistical functions
Average
To calculate the average of a range of cells, use the
AVERAGE function.

Median
To find the median (or middle number), use the MEDIAN function.
Mode
To find the most frequently occurring number, use the MODE
function.

4. Functions of ms excel 2003
Min
To find the minimum value, use the MIN function.
Max
To find the maximum value, use the MAX function.

5. Functions of ms excel 2003
Financial functions
ACCRINT function Returns the accrued interest for a
security that pays periodic interest
ACCRINTM function Returns the accrued interest for a
security that pays interest at maturity
FV function Returns the future value of an investment
NPER function Returns the number of periods for an
investment
PV function Returns the present value of an investment
RATE function Returns the interest rate per period of an
annuity.

Database Functions
DAVERAGE Returns the average of selected
database entries
DCOUNT Counts the cells that contain numbers in a
database
DCOUNTA Counts nonblank cells in a database
DGET Extracts from a database a single record that
matches the specified criteria
DMAX Returns the maximum value from selected
database entries
DMIN Returns the minimum value from selected
database entries

7. Functions of ms excel 2003
DPRODUCT Multiplies the values in a particular
field of records that match the criteria in a
database
DSUM Adds the numbers in the field column of
records in the database that match the criteria
DVAR Estimates variance based on a sample from
selected database entries
DVARP Calculates variance based on the entire
population of selected database entries
