To enter a formula in Excel, click on the cell where you want the result to appear. Type the equal sign (=
) followed by the formula you want to use, such as =SUM(A1:A10)
for summing values in cells A1 to A10. Press Enter, and the formula will calculate and display the result in that cell. To apply the same formula to a row, you can drag the fill handle (a small square at the bottom right corner of the cell) across the desired cells.
Enter one set of numbers in a column and another set of numbers in a row at the top of that column, so that the numbers you want to multiply intersect at a column and row.EXAMPLE:In A2 enter 2.In B1 enter 3.In B2 enter =A2*B1 (observe the answer 6)TIP: If you want to be able to enter the formula only in the first intersecting cell of the row, then copy the formula to all the rest of the cells in the row, use the formula =$A$2*B1. That will make A2 and absolute reference that will not change as you copy the formula to other cells in the row, but will automatically update B1 to C1, D1, etc.
Excel assumes data is text initially, but can treat it differently depending on the way you enter it. That is why you enter an equals sign at the beginning of a formula to indicate to Excel that you are creating a formula.

To number your rows in Excel, put a '1' in the first row, for instance in cell a1, the formula '=a1+1' in the second row, and then copy that formula to each additional row you want to number. Be careful, though, as inserting and deleting rows will mess the sequence up, and you will need to fix it as needed.
After you enter your formula, press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER at the same time. You will see the array formula displayed with brackets ({}) around it. If you type the same text, including the brackets and press just ENTER, you will not tell Excel the formula is an array and may display only text. You need to enter the formula, without the brackets, and press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to let Excel know it is an array. See related links for more details about array formulas.

There is no single formula. MIN(range) and MAX(range) are the Excel formulae
I do not understand what you are asking. When you create a new worksheet, all of the rows are empty.
