• What this function does: Adds all the numbers in a
range of cells.
• Usage: =SUM(number1, [number2], …)
• Example(s):
=SUM(177,239,3,0,1,5,8) [Result: 433]
=SUM(C2:I2)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/msexcelanditsbasicfunctions-220930141600-efd75ba9/95/MS-Excel-and-it-s-basic-functions-pptx-3-1024.jpg)
![BASIC EXCEL FUNCTIONS #2: AVERAGE()
• What this function does:
Returns the average
(arithmetic mean) of its
arguments, which can be
numbers, arrays, or
references that contain
numbers.
• Usage:
=AVERAGE(number1,
[number2], …)
• Example(s):
=AVERAGE(B2:B6)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/msexcelanditsbasicfunctions-220930141600-efd75ba9/95/MS-Excel-and-it-s-basic-functions-pptx-4-1024.jpg)
![BASIC EXCEL FUNCTIONS #3: COUNT()
• What this function does:
• It only counts cells containing
numbers. All other cells will be
ignored (texts, dates, blanks).
• Usage:
=COUNT (value1,[value2], …)
• Example(s):
=COUNT(B2:D4)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/msexcelanditsbasicfunctions-220930141600-efd75ba9/95/MS-Excel-and-it-s-basic-functions-pptx-5-1024.jpg)
![BASIC EXCEL FUNCTIONS #4: CONCATENATE ()
• What this function does:
Joins several strings into one text
string.
• Usage:
=CONCATENATE (text1, [text2], …)
• Example(s):
=CONCATENATE (A1,B1,C1)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/msexcelanditsbasicfunctions-220930141600-efd75ba9/95/MS-Excel-and-it-s-basic-functions-pptx-6-1024.jpg)
![BASIC EXCEL FUNCTIONS #5: MIN() & MAX()
What this function does:
• Min():
Checks the range of cells and returns
the minimal value.
• Max():
Checks the range of cells and returns
the maximum value.
Usage:
MIN(number1, [number2], …)
MAX(number1, [number2], …)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/msexcelanditsbasicfunctions-220930141600-efd75ba9/95/MS-Excel-and-it-s-basic-functions-pptx-7-1024.jpg)
