3 Lesson: Formulas Introducing Formulas Introducing Statistical Functions Formula Dialog Box Absolute / Relative References Naming Cells 7 What is a Formula? Formulas are one of the most useful features of the program. Formulas can be as simple as adding two numbers or can be complex calculations. Once you learn the basic format of creating a formula, Excel does all the calculations for you 8 Entering Formulas Notice that the bluehighlighted cell address in the formula expression corresponds with the cell outline immediately above. 9

6 Absolute vs. Relative Excel uses references in what are called absolute and relative ranges. Absolute ranges have a $ character before either the column portion of the reference and/or the row portion of the reference. Relative ranges do not use the $ character. The $ character indicates to Excel that it should change the column and/or row reference if you copy and paste or move a formula. If you select a formula, you can press F4 to cycle reference between the styles (relative and absolute). 16 Absolute Reference Review $A$1 Both the column and row reference is fixed. Neither will be changed during a copy. $A1 Only the column reference is fixed. It will not change during copy, but the row will change. A$1 Only the row reference is fixed. It will not change during or copy, but the column will change. 17 Using References in Formulas When the formula in cell B6 is copied to cell C6, the cell references in the formula also change to reflect their relative positions on the worksheet. Unfortunately, this was not the intention for this copy and paste operation. Cell C3 is empty. 18

The worksheet lays out all the data about salespeople in two countries and how much they sold on individual days. But it's a lot of data to deal with listed in row after row and divided into multiple columns. How can you get information out of the worksheet? How can you make sense out of all of this data? Who sold the most overall? Who sold the most per quarter or per year? Which country has the most sales? You can get answers to all these questions with PivotTable reports it's like turning a mob into a marching band. Pivot tables are the way excel can re arrange data to view different criteria quickly Excel can rearrange tables so that it summarizes the data based on different column groups. The process of rearranging your table is known as pivoting your data You're turning the same information around to examine it from different angles.
