It is a calculation to be done. It usually is a mathematical function done to the contents of other cells to create an answer or total. For example, A1 cell value is 500, A2 cell value is 600, and so forth.
Excel has many "fill in the blanks" formulas built into the program covering math formulas, statistical formulas, engineering formulas, even logical and text formulas. There are quite a few financial formulas, for example, calculating a loan payment. You fill in the loan amount, interest rate and length of the loan, and excel will calculate the payment. You could tell the formula cell to gather this data from another cell. So if you put principal in A1, interest rate in A2 and term in A3, you could put the formula in A4 to get your monthly payment amount. Then, by changing the values in A1, A2 or A3, you could rapidly compare payments with different variables.
Of course, you can also create your own formulas. Let's say you wanted to calculate a sales invoice. You would put a Sum formula in to calculate a sub-total. Then create a formula to multiply that sub-total by a sales tax rate, then create a formula to add those two amounts together for the invoice total.
It is a code that is entered by the person who wants the spreadsheet to 'do' something.
The formula is entered in a cell.
Suppose cell A1 contains the number 12
And cell B1 contains the number 8.
If the formula in cell C1 is '=A1+B1', then cell C1 will display, not the formula but the answer, i.e. 20.
It is where you can start to type in a new formula. If there is one already in the cell you have selected, you will see the formula there. You can then edit the formula. By pressing the fx just beside it you can start to use some of the functions that are in Excel and have them in your formulas.
A formula in microsoft excel is like a formula in real life, like a math equation or math problem (ie. 2+2=4). You would write the Excel formula like this: =2+2
sum
average
max
min
count numbers
its a place where you can input formulas to make things easier for example say you want to add the contents of A4 to B6. you would then go to the formula bar and type =A4+B6
The formula box in Excel allows you to view the content in a cell and edit it.
At the top of the screen you have the formula bar, where formulas can be typed and edited. In the worksheet the little boxes are called cells, and you can type the formulas in them.
It is shown in the Name Box, which is at the start of the Formula Bar.
Right-click and select paste formula
Just hide the Formula Bar.

To use the entire box in Microsoft Excel 2007: click the Home tab, click Format in the Cells group and search for the current worksheet.
It can change a total that the formula results in.
The formula bar is where formulas are typed and where you can see what is in a cell. The name box shows a cell reference, or names of cells or ranges.
