Advantages of using Word over Excel when creating tables?

Word has specific facilities to create tables, which Excel does not. Excel is already in a tabular format, with its columns and rows, but Word allows you to do a table of a specific amount of rows and columns. It will also automatically allow you to have borders on it. If your table is purely for text, then Word is better. Word can do calculations in tables, something many people do not realise, but Excel is better for doing them. You can copy and paste a table with calculations from Excel into Word. You can then use Word to add some extra elements in formatting. Word is good for having more formatting for text that you may have in a table. If you want to mix a table with large amounts of text, such as having a report that includes some tables in it, then Word can deal with that very well. You can position the table within the document in whatever way you want. By just having some borders showing, you can use Word's tables facility to design different kinds of diagrams and charts that have a structured layout. So unless you have a large amount of numbers and calculations in your table, Word is a better option than Excel.

When do you use with a cell address in Excel?

You use cell addresses in formulas because it means formulas do not have to change if values. The formula =10+5 will only add 10 and 5, so if you want to add other values, you need to change it. The formula =A2+B2 adds whatever is in those two cells. So you can change the values in those two cells and the formula does not need to be changed in order to add them together.

If you use a function alone it always begins with the formula prefix?

All formulas in Excel must begin with the equals sign, and that includes ones that just use functions. Without the equals sign, it will be treated as a piece of text.

How do you create a cell to type in any numbers to test for Armstrong Numbers up to 6 digits and a corresponding cell to automatically display yes or no?

Armstrong numbers are the sum of their own digits to the power of the number of digits. Here are all the possible Armstrong Numbers up to six digits:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 153, 370, 371, 407, 1634, 8208, 9474, 54748, 92727, 93084, 548834

EXAMPLE: 153 = 13 + 53 + 33

Sometimes, the simple solutions are better than complicated elegant solutions. Just compare your number to the list. If your number is on the list, it is an Armstrong Number.

Designing a spreadsheet formula to compare all numbers 1-6 digits to determine if they are one of twenty possible numbers does not make sence. However, in the spirit of education (even though using this solution does not pass the common sense test), here are two methods you can use to solve this problem.

SOLUTION #1 (easy): Compare against a look-up table.

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,C1:C20,1,FALSE)),"No","Yes")

  1. Reserve A1 for entry of the number to be evaulated.
  2. In B1, enter this formula: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,C1:C20,1,FALSE)),"No","Yes")
  3. In column C (C1:C20), enter the first twenty Armstrong Numbers [see list above].
  4. Enter a number in A1 and observe "Yes" or "No" in B1.

SOLUTION #2 (difficult): Brute force calculation.

=IF(LEN(F1)=6,IF(MID(F1,1,1)^6+MID(F1,2,1)^6+MID(F1,3,1)^6+MID(F1,4,1)^6+MID(F1,5,1)^6+MID(F1,6,1)^6=F1,"Yes","No"),"Not 6 places")

Here is an example for 6-digit numbers (use the same procedure for other size numbers or write a macro that will count the characters and loop through as many times as necessary):

  1. Reserve A1 for entry of the number to be evaulated.
  2. In B1, enter this formula:

    =IF(LEN(F1)=6,IF(MID(F1,1,1)^6+MID(F1,2,1)^6+MID(F1,3,1)^6+MID(F1,4,1)^6+MID(F1,5,1)^6+MID(F1,6,1)^6=F1,"Yes","No"),"Not 6 places")

  3. In B1, observe "Yes" or "No" (if you have not entered a 6-digit number, you will see "Not 6 places.")
