– is an equation that performs operation on worksheet data.
Formula
▪used to perform complex calculations that cannot be done manually. Functions in excel have names that reflect their intended use.
FUNCTIONS
gives the total of the selected range of cell values. It performs the mathematical operation which is addition.
SUM
Focuses on calculating the average of the selected range of cell values.
AVERAGE
Counts the total number of cells in a range that contains a number.
Count
▪checks your data range and returns the smallest value in the set.
MIN
▪returns the highest value in a set of data that you specify.
MAX
Counts cells containing any value, i.e. cells that are not empty.
COUNTA
▪This function merges or joins several text strings into one text string. Given below are the different ways to perform this function.
CONCATENATE
▪This stands for the vertical lookup that is responsible for looking for a particular value in the leftmost column of a table. It then returns a value in the same row from a column you specify.
VLOOKUP
This is the value that you have to look for in the first column of a table.
lookup_value

•It stands for divide by zero error.
#DIV/0!
•This error stands for reference error.
#REF! Error
•This error comes when we use the wrong data type for a function or formula.
#VALUE! Error
•This error is displayed when we usually misspell the function name.
#NAME? Error
•divides two values in a formula and the divisor (the number being divided by) is zero.
•#DIV/0!
•Usually displayed when a number for any function argument is found invalid.
#NUM! Error
•This error is displayed when the column width in excel is not enough to show the stored value in the cell.
Error
•This error is usually displayed when cell references are not specified correctly.
#NULL! Error
It is represented by magnifying icons with the symbols of maximizing (+) or minimizing (-).
ZOOM CONTROL
•This type of error comes when we reference the same cell in which we are writing the function or formula.
Circular Reference Error
•This function is used to check whether there would be an error after applying the function or not.
ISERROR Function

Creator of MS Excel
Charles Simonyi
•when we know that there can be an error in the source data, we need to use this function instead of the SUM, COUNT function, etc.
