    Study Notes

    Formulas

    • Basic Arithmetic Operations:
      • =A1+A2 : adds the values in cells A1 and A2
      • =A1-A2 : subtracts the value in cell A2 from A1
      • =A1*A2 : multiplies the values in cells A1 and A2
      • =A1/A2 : divides the value in cell A1 by A2
    • Functions:
      • SUM(range) : calculates the sum of a range of cells
      • AVERAGE(range) : calculates the average of a range of cells
      • COUNT(range) : counts the number of cells in a range that contain numbers
      • IF(logical_test, [value_if_true], [value_if_false]) : performs a logical test and returns a value based on the result
    • Cell References:
      • Absolute References: =A$1+A$2 (uses the exact column and row numbers)
      • Relative References: =A1+A2 (adjusts the column and row numbers based on the position of the formula)
