ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

AND
FORMULAS IN EXCEL
Electronic spreadsheet software
are like Microsoft Excel commonly
used by individuals and businesses
to create and produce much needed
calculations and operations.
Spreadsheets are designed with
functions and formulas that will make
calculating numerical data easier and
convinient for you.
Functions - are calculations that
return a result.
To create and enter functions,
always start with an equal sign (=).
Without it, Excel will not calculate a
result. The inputs in functions are
called arguments. Arguments can be
in a form of numbers, cell references,
or texts.
There are hundreds of functions
found in Excel. All these can be
accessed using either of the
following methods:

1. Click the Insert Function button


from the left side of the formulas
tab.
2. Select a function from
one of the lists in the insert
Function dialog box. Then
click OK
3. A Function Arguments
dialog box will appear that will
automatically assist you to
input numbers in your
selected function. This window
indicates what each function
does and the arguments that
each function considers.
4. Directly input numbers into
the cells. Useful prompts showing
the format of the functions and the
arguments that should be inserted
will appear. You may also use the
mouse to click desired ranges that
you want to include in the function.
Then the cells’ address will
automatically inserted in your
function. Once the numbers are
typed in the dialog box, click OK.
5. The answer to the
Function is shown in the cell.
There are different categories of
functions. Some of which are the
following:

MATHEMATICAL – these include


mathematical functions such as
AVERAGE(), SUM(), etc.
DATE and TIME - these
are concerned with the date
and time such as
DATEVALUE() that converts
dates written in texts to
numbers.
LOGICAL - there are
used whether arguments,
texts, or values are true or
not depending on the set
standard.
LOOKUP and
REFERENCE - these
functions are used when
looking for an entry or value in
the spreadsheet.
