Page 298: How Formulas Work With The Data In Your Worksheet
How formulas work with the data in your worksheet A worksheet formula can be a simple arithmetic operation, such as 5 + 2, or a complicated operation, such as determining the net present value of a series of future cash flows based on data present in worksheet cells.
Page 299 Ranges A range is a rectangular block of adjacent cells in the worksheet. A range can be one or more rows, one or more columns, or a group of cells in adjacent rows and columns. Use ranges in commands and formulas to perform operations on more than one cell at the same time.
Page 300: Types Of Formulas
Types of formulas There are three types of formulas: numeric, logical, and date. Numeric formulas Numeric formulas perform calculations with numbers, using one or more of the arithmetic operators +, -, * , /, ^, or related built-in functions. Two examples of numeric formulas are 3 * B20 and SUM(B20:B25)/4.
Page 301 Financial Calculate annuities, loan payments, cash flows, and so on. These include: DDB, FV, IRR, NPER, NPV, PMT, PV, RATE, SLN, SYD. Logical Compute the results of conditional formulas. These include: AND, FALSE, IF, NOT, OR, TRUE. Relational Operators Perform mathematical comparisons. These include: <, <=, <>, =, >, >=.
Page 302 Functions and their arguments Supply the information PenCell needs to carry out a function. For example, when PenCell comes across the function SUM(A4:A20), the argument A4:A20 tells PenCell to add the values in the range extending from A4 to A20. The number and type of arguments required varies by function.
