A function is a built-in formula in Excel designed to do a particular task. Arguments are values that you provide to a function to do its task, like cell address that hold numbers that you want to use for the function. For example, the numbers and addresses in the following SUM function are arguments:
=SUM( A2:A5, 7, 800, B18 )
In Excel a function within another function would be called a nested function.
When you choose the Insert Function command and then pick a function to use, it will appear so that you can type arguments into it.
If you do not include an optional argument, Excel will use the default value for that argument.
Normally yes, but it will actually take numbers and combine them into a text string.
In Excel, the second argument of the Round function specifies the number of decimal places to round to. If this number is negative, it rounds to corresponding digits before the decimal point.
The FV and Type arguments are optional in the PMT function.
The PPMT function returns the amt. of interest in a specified instalment number whereas the PMT function returns the amt. of interest in every EMI payment.
In Excel, the ACos function returns the arccosine (in radians) of a number.The syntax for the ACos function is:ACos( number )number is a number between -1 and 1. It is the cosine of the angle that you wish to find.Applies To:Excel 2007, Excel 2003, Excel XP, Excel 2000
If the function allows multiple arguement, you can use another function within most functions. EXAMPLE: =IF(SUM(A1:A14)>120,SUM(A1:A14),"Oops! not enough")
No. In Excel you would use the COUNT function to do it, or possibly the COUNTA or COUNTIF, depending on exactly what you were trying to do.
They are the same thing, excel is Microsoft's spreadsheet programme.
In programming, an argument takes a value or vales and performs an operation is called a function or method. If a method does not return a value, it is described as 'void'.
