Study Notes
- Spreadsheets can be used for computation and presentation
Functions
- Predefined formulas that perform calculations
- Use specific values called arguments in a particular order
- Perform simple or complex calculations
- Save time by avoiding lengthy formulas
Function Formula Example =SUM(B3:B10)
- The equal sign indicates the start of the formula
- SUM is the function name
- B3:B10 is the argument
Function Formula Example =AVG(B3:B10, C3:C10)
- The equal sign indicates the start of the formula
- AVG is the function name
- B3:B10, C3:C10 are the arguments
Mathematical Functions
SUM
- The SUM function returns the sum of supplied values
- These values can be numbers, cell references, ranges, and constants, in any combination
SUMIF
- The SUMIF function returns the sum of cells that meet a single condition
- Criteria can be applied to dates, numbers, and text
PRODUCT
- The PRODUCT function returns the product of a supplied set of numerical values
SUMPRODUCT
- The SUMPRODUCT function returns the sum of the products of the corresponding values in a set of supplied arrays
- An example formula is "=SUMPRODUCT(A2:A4, B2:B4)", this is equal to "1x5 + 2x6 + 3x4 = 29"
- In the example formula "=SUMPRODUCT(A2:A4, B2:B4, (2; 4; “text”})" the "text" is treated as 0
POWER
- The POWER function calculates a given number raised to a supplied power
SQRT
- The SQRT function calculates the positive square root of a supplied number
- The SQRT function returns the #NUM! Error, if the supplied number is negative
SUBTOTAL
- The SUBTOTAL function performs a specified calculation (e.g., sum, product, average, etc.) for a supplied set of values
- The Syntax of the function is =SUBTOTAL( function_num, ref1, [ref2], … )
- Where function_num is an integer that denotes the calculation type (e.g., sum, average, etc.)
- Where ref1, [ref2], … One or more references to cells containing the values that the calculation is to be performed on
- Blank cells and cells containing non-numeric values are ignored in the calculation
Function_num Reference
- To include hidden values use:
- 1 for AVERAGE
- 2 for COUNT
- 3 for COUNTA
- 4 for MAX
- 5 for MIN
- 6 for PRODUCT
- 7 for STDEV
- 8 for STDEVP
- 9 for SUM
- 10 for VAR
- 11 for VARP
- To ignore hidden values add 100 to function number:
- 101 for AVERAGE
- 102 for COUNT
- 103 for COUNTA
- 104 for MAX
- 105 for MIN
- 106 for PRODUCT
- 107 for STDEV
- 108 for STDEVP
- 109 for SUM
- 110 for VAR
- 111 for VARP
