What is a spreadsheet?
 A spreadsheet is a computer program used
to store and manage data in the cells which
are represented in the form of rows and
columns.
 The data is stored as a record in the
spreadsheet and can be manipulated.
What is Microsoft Excel?
It is a spreadsheet program developed by
Microsoft. Excel organizes data in columns and
rows and allows you to do mathematical
functions.
MS Excel is one of the software programs that
helps you make a spreadsheet.
A function is a preset formula that helps
perform mathematical, statistical and logical
operations.
Once you are familiar with the function you
want to use, all you have to do is enter an
equal sign (=) in the cell, followed by the
name of the function and the cell range it
applies to.
What is a Function?
Autosum
Count/CountA
CountIf/CountIfs
SumIf/SumIfs
Average/AverageIf
VlookUp
Some examples of Functions are:
a FORMULA is an expression that operates on
values in a range of cells. These formulas return
a result, even when it is an error. Excel formulas
enable you to perform calculations such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Example:
=Sum(A1:A7)
=CountIf(C3:C10,”Male”)
What is a Formula?
Range - defines one or several cells to count. You put
the range in a formula like you usually do in Excel, e.g.
A1:A20.
Criteria - defines the condition that tells the function
which cells to count. It can be a number, text string, cell
reference or expression. For instance, you can use the
criteria like these: "10", A2, ">=10", "some text".
Range and Criteria
Sum Function
The SUM function adds values. You can add individual
values, cell references or ranges or a mix of all three.
MS Excel Functions:
SumIf Function
It will sum up cells that meet the given criteria. The
criteria are based on dates, numbers, and text. It
supports logical operators such as (>, <, <>, =)
Formula:
=SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range])
MS Excel Functions:
Count/CountA Function
The COUNTA function counts cells containing any type
of information, including error values and empty text
("").
If you do not need to count logical values, text, or error
values (in other words, if you want to count only cells
that contain numbers), use the COUNT function.
Formula:
=Count(range)
=CountA(range)
MS Excel Functions:
CountIf/CountIfs Function
 used for counting cells within a specified range that meet
a certain criterion, or condition.
Formula:
COUNTIF(range, criteria)
 If you have two criteria and conditions use the CountIfs
function.
Formula:
=CountIfs(criteria_range1,criteria1,criteria_range2,criteria2)
MS Excel Functions:
Average Function
 Calculates the average value in a range of cells
Formula:
=Average(range)
MS Excel Functions:
AverageIf Function
 Calculates the average value in a range of cells that
meet the specified criteria.
Formula:
=AVERAGEIF(range,criteria, [average_range])
