=,+,-,*,/,^operators used for basic arithmetic operations -
Functions:
-
SUM(range): returns the sum of a range of cells -
AVERAGE(range): returns the average of a range of cells -
COUNT(range): returns the count of cells in a range -
IF(logical_test, [value_if_true], [value_if_false]): tests a condition and returns a value based on the result
-
-
Cell References:
-
A1absolute reference to cell A1 -
$A$1absolute reference to cell A1, column and row locked -
A1:A10relative reference to range A1 to A10
-
-
Error Handling:
-
#N/Aerror value when a formula cannot be evaluated -
IFERROR(cell, value_if_error): returns a value if the cell evaluates to an error
-
Pivot Tables
-
Creating a Pivot Table:
- Select a cell range or table
- Go to Insert > PivotTable
- Choose a cell to place the pivot table
-
Pivot Table Fields:
- Row Labels: fields displayed as row headers
- Column Labels: fields displayed as column headers
- Values: fields displayed as data
-
Pivot Table Functions:
- SUM: sums values in the values field
- AVERAGE: averages values in the values field
- COUNT: counts values in the values field
Macro Programming
-
Visual Basic Editor (VBE):
- Accessible by pressing Alt + F11 or navigating to Developer > Visual Basic
- Used to write and edit VBA code
-
Recording Macros:
- Record Macro: records user actions and translates them into VBA code
- Stop Recording: stops recording and saves the macro
-
Macro Security:
- Macro Settings: enables or disables macros in a workbook
- Trusted Locations: specifies trusted locations for macros to run
Data Analysis
-
Data Validation:
- Settings: restricts input data to specific formats or values
- Error Alert: displays an error message if invalid data is entered
-
Data Analysis Tools:
- Descriptive Statistics: calculates mean, median, mode, and standard deviation
- Regression Analysis: performs linear regression analysis
- Histograms: creates a histogram of a dataset
-
Data Visualization:
- Charts: creates various chart types (e.g., column, line, pie)
- Conditional Formatting: highlights cells based on conditions (e.g., values, formulas)
