The 'sum' function.
Type =sum(X,Y) - bold for emphasis - where X and Y are your cell locations or values, and Excel will return the sum (i.e. the result of addition) of those values.
Basically you can either add values individually, including cells: = 1 + 2 + 3 or, to add values in cells: = A1 + A2 + A3 Or, you can add a range of numbers, stored in adjacent cells, with the sum() function: = SUM(A1:A10)
The plus sign. + To add values in the cells A3 and B3 you would do the following: =A3+B3
Insert the sheet name and an exclamation point before the cells you would like to add:=Sheet1!A1+Sheet2!A1
You can add the values of two cells that have dates or months, but adding dates doesn't serve any useful purpose.
You can convert them to decimal values and then add them together and divide by the total number of values. Usually, we used a spreadsheet like excel on the computer, but a calculator is also easy to use.
Add the x values together and divid by 2 and add the y values together and divide by 2. You get 3, 4.
The MIN function.
Values such as numbers, dates, time, text and True and False values are all data. Formulas then manipulate data to do things like add values to give totals. Technically, that is information. So a list of numbers is data and the total when you add them up or get an average is information that can be got from the data.
It formats the values.
Excel allows you to change values in a worksheet quickly and easily. How is this helpful in running a business? How can changing values affect business decisions?
The AVERAGE function.
