Functions Guide
Step 1 - The Most Frequently Used Excel Functions
With Excel there’s a variety of functions that can be used. These range
from general usage to only being applied for certain purposes. Here we’ve
put together the functions we believe that will benefit you the most.
Excel Function What It Does
AVERAGE Calculates the mean of several values
COUNT Counts number of cells found within a range that has
numbers
COUNTIF Counts number of cells found within a range only if it
meets a specified criteria
IF Uses a True or False condition and returns a value
INT Removes decimal part of number, leaving only integer
part
NOW Returns system time and date
ROUND Rounds number to a specific amount of decimal places
or positions
SUM Calculates the sum of several values
SUMIF Calculates the sum of several values, but only for
values that meet a specified condition
TODAY Returns only system date, no time included
FunctionsGuide
Step 2 - The Syntax
The Syntax is the way you structure and format a function, for it to work. This involves
using the following:
A.) The equal sign “=”
B.) The name of the function e.g “SUM”
C.) And the Argument
Step 3 - The Argument & Operators
The Argument is the information that you want the function to calculate. Also there are
several Operators that are used within Excel. Make sure you understand the following:
Operator Definition
+ This means add
- This means subtract
* This means multiply
/ This means divide
^ This means exponent i.e how many times a number is multiplied
by itself e.g 5^4
( ) This is for organising the order and structure of the operations
, This is used to separate elements e.g A1,B1
: This is used to specify a range e.g A1:A10
$ This is used for making absolute cell references e.g $A$1
Step 4 - References
When using the fill handle (the small cross located at bottom right of a cell when
dragging) refer to the following:
A.) A1 = Relative Cell Reference
B.) $A1 = Column is Absolute, Row is Relative
C.) A$1 = Column is Relative, Row is Absolute
D.) $A$1 = Both Column and Row are Absolute
Remember these 4 Steps as they are the cornerstones of using Excel
