Numbers: Like currency allows additional decimal points to be added to numbers, be displayed as positive or negative, and use separators to ease reading of very large numbers. Basic formulae: A basic Walkthrough of simplistic formulae calculations that can be executed in Excel: when utilising Basic formulae in Excel, you need to use cell references to target the specific cell you wish to use in the calculation. To start a formula, use the sign in the cell you wish the formula to be displayed in, and then specify ‘=’ the cell references of the cell contents you want to use in the calculation, excel will automatically add the cells referenced into the calculation for you. For example: =A4+A5 will add the contents of both of the specified cells and display the answer in the cell that formula is contained in. In addition, this will work with any of the 4 basic arithmetic functions: for Addition, for “+” “-“ Subtraction, for Multiplication, and for Division and there is no upper limit to the amount of cells “*” “/” that can be referenced and added to the calculation Basic functions: Functions are used, unlike formulas to compare the contents of various cell references in various ways, In this, only Sum and Average will be discussed To access Functions, select the cell you wish the function results to be displayed in and press the Fx button adjacent to the formula bar to the left, which will show a options window allowing for a specific function to be specified by the user. Source: Once the desired function has been selected, an addition Function arguments window will appear showing in the Number1 Bar which cell references will be included in the calculation.
