E - 31 Performing Calculations Lesson Outline:  Excel Formulas  Calculate with Functions  Function Library  IF Function  Relative, Absolute, & Mixed Functions  Linking Worksheets  VLOOKUP Function
E - 32 EXCEL FORMULAS A formula is a set of mathematical instructions that can be used in Excel to perform calculations. Formals are started in the formula box with an = sign. There are many elements to an excel formula. References: The cell or range of cells that you want to use in your calculation Operators: Symbols (+, -, *, /, etc.) that specify the calculation to be performed Constants: Numbers or text values that do not change Functions: Predefined formulas in Excel To create a basic formula in Excel:  Select the cell for the formula  Type = (the equal sign) and the formula  Click Enter
E - 33 CALCULATE WITH FUNCTIONS A function is a built in formula in Excel. A function has a name and arguments (the mathematical function) in parentheses. Common functions in Excel: Sum: Adds all cells in the argument Average: Calculates the average of the cells in the argument Min: Finds the minimum value Max: Finds the maximum value Count: Finds the number of cells that contain a numerical value within a range of the argument To calculate a function:  Click the cell where you want the function applied  Click the Insert Function button  Choose the function  Click OK  Complete the Number 1 box with the first cell in the range that you want calculated  Complete the Number 2 box with the last cell in the range that you want calculated
E - 34 FUNCTION LIBRARY The function library is a large group of functions on the Formula Tab of the Ribbon. These functions include: AutoSum: Easily calculates the sum of a range Recently Used: All recently used functions Financial: Accrued interest, cash flow return rates and additional financial functions Logical: And, If, True, False, etc. Text: Text based functions Date & Time: Functions calculated on date and time Math & Trig: Mathematical Functions Examples: AutoSum
E - 35 Minimum IF FUNCTION The IF function, one of Excel's logical functions, tests to see if a certain condition in a spreadsheet is true or false. You can use the IF Function for various purposes. For example, you can use the function to determine if a student passed or failed. You may also use this function to display corresponding description of a code. The syntax for the IF function is: =IF (logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)
E - 36 logical_test - a value or expression that is tested to see if it is true or false. value_if_true - the value that is displayed if logical_test is true. value_if_false - the value that is displayed if logical_test is false. To use the simple IF function  Now, click on cell C5 - the location where one of the results will be displayed.  Type this formula =IF(B5>74, "Passed","Failed") and press enter.  Then copy the formula on the succeeding cells to display the corresponding remarks of the grade. To use the IF function with multiple condition  Consider the following data in an Excel worksheet as illustrated.
E - 37  Determine the level description based on the year level column 1 – Freshmen 2 – Sophomore 3 – Junior 4 – Senior 5 – Fifth Yr. Other values are considered invalid  Now, click on cell E5 - the location where one of the results will be displayed.  Click on the Formulas tab and choose Logical function from the ribbon to open the drop down list.  Click on IF in the list to pop up the function's dialog box.  From the If Function Arguments dialog box displayed, click on the icon with red color pointing upwards behind the Logical_test.
E - 38  Then, type in the following formula and click on the red color icon pointing down.  Click OK.  If you want to see the full formula, click on the cell E5 and the formula will be display on the Formula Bar.  Note: You may also just type the formula directly on the cell where you want to display the result. RELATIVE, ABSOLUTE AND MIXED REFERENCES Calling cells by just their column and row labels (such as "A1") is called relative referencing. When a formula contains relative referencing and it is copied from one cell to another, Excel does not create an exact copy of the formula. It will change cell addresses relative to the row and column they are moved to. For example, if a simple addition formula in cell C1 "=(A1+B1)" is copied to cell C2, the formula would change to "=(A2+B2)" to reflect the new row. To prevent this change, cells must be called by absolute referencing and this is accomplished by placing dollar signs "$" within the cell addresses in the formula. Continuing the previous example, the formula in cell C1 would read "=($A$1+$B$1)" if the value of cell C2 should be the sum of cells A1 and B1. Both the column and row of both cells are absolute and will not change when copied. Mixed referencing can also be used where only the row OR column fixed. For example, in the formula "=(A$1+$B2)", the row of cell A1 is fixed and the column of cell B2 is fixed.
E - 39 LINKING WORKSHEETS You may want to use the value from a cell in another worksheet within the same workbook in a formula. For example, the value of cell A1 in the current worksheet and cell A2 in the second worksheet can be added using the format "sheetname!celladdress". The formula for this example would be "=A1+Sheet2!A2" where the value of cell A1 in the current worksheet is added to the value of cell A2 in the worksheet named "Sheet2". VLOOKUP FUNCTION VLOOKUP is a very useful function for easily searching through one or more columns in large worksheets to find related data. Sample VLOOKUP formula: =VLOOKUP(B5,Sheet2!$A$4:$B$13,2,FALSE) 1. =VLOOKUP – The = denotes that this cell will contain a function and in our case that is the VLOOKUP function to search through one or more columns of data.
E - 40 2. B5 – The first argument for the function. This is the actual search value that we want look for. The search word or value is whatever is entered into cell B5. 3. Sheet2!$A$4:$B$13– The range of cells on Sheet2 that we want to search through to find our search value in B5. Since the range resides on Sheet2, we need to precede the range with the name of the sheet followed by an !. If the data is on the same sheet, there is no need for the prefix. You can also use named ranges here if you like.
E - 41 4. 2 – This number specifies the column in the defined range that you want to return the value for. So in our example, on Sheet2, we want to return the value of Column B or the course description, once a match is found in Column A. Note, however, that the column’s position in the Excel worksheet does not matter. So if you move the data in Columns A and B to D and E, let’s say, as long as you defined your range in argument 3 as $D$4:$E$13, the column number to return would still be 2. It’s the relative position rather than the absolute column number. Another thing you may have noticed is the use of the $ symbol in front of the column letter and row number. We have to use absolute referencing. The $ symbol tells Excel that when the formula is dragged down to other cells, that the reference should remain the same. 5. False – False means that Excel will only return a value for an exact match. If you set it to True, Excel will look for the closest match. If it’s set to False and Excel cannot find an exact match, it will return #N/A. If you’re going to set the last argument to True, you need to make sure that the data in your lookup range is sorted in ascending order otherwise it will not work!

  • 32. E - 32 EXCEL FORMULAS A formula is a set of mathematical instructions that can be used in Excel to perform calculations. Formals are started in the formula box with an = sign. There are many elements to an excel formula. References: The cell or range of cells that you want to use in your calculation Operators: Symbols (+, -, *, /, etc.) that specify the calculation to be performed Constants: Numbers or text values that do not change Functions: Predefined formulas in Excel To create a basic formula in Excel:  Select the cell for the formula  Type = (the equal sign) and the formula  Click Enter
  • 33. E - 33 CALCULATE WITH FUNCTIONS A function is a built in formula in Excel. A function has a name and arguments (the mathematical function) in parentheses. Common functions in Excel: Sum: Adds all cells in the argument Average: Calculates the average of the cells in the argument Min: Finds the minimum value Max: Finds the maximum value Count: Finds the number of cells that contain a numerical value within a range of the argument To calculate a function:  Click the cell where you want the function applied  Click the Insert Function button  Choose the function  Click OK  Complete the Number 1 box with the first cell in the range that you want calculated  Complete the Number 2 box with the last cell in the range that you want calculated
  • 34. E - 34 FUNCTION LIBRARY The function library is a large group of functions on the Formula Tab of the Ribbon. These functions include: AutoSum: Easily calculates the sum of a range Recently Used: All recently used functions Financial: Accrued interest, cash flow return rates and additional financial functions Logical: And, If, True, False, etc. Text: Text based functions Date & Time: Functions calculated on date and time Math & Trig: Mathematical Functions Examples: AutoSum
  • 35. E - 35 Minimum IF FUNCTION The IF function, one of Excel's logical functions, tests to see if a certain condition in a spreadsheet is true or false. You can use the IF Function for various purposes. For example, you can use the function to determine if a student passed or failed. You may also use this function to display corresponding description of a code. The syntax for the IF function is: =IF (logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)
  • 36. E - 36 logical_test - a value or expression that is tested to see if it is true or false. value_if_true - the value that is displayed if logical_test is true. value_if_false - the value that is displayed if logical_test is false. To use the simple IF function  Now, click on cell C5 - the location where one of the results will be displayed.  Type this formula =IF(B5>74, "Passed","Failed") and press enter.  Then copy the formula on the succeeding cells to display the corresponding remarks of the grade. To use the IF function with multiple condition  Consider the following data in an Excel worksheet as illustrated.
  • 37. E - 37  Determine the level description based on the year level column 1 – Freshmen 2 – Sophomore 3 – Junior 4 – Senior 5 – Fifth Yr. Other values are considered invalid  Now, click on cell E5 - the location where one of the results will be displayed.  Click on the Formulas tab and choose Logical function from the ribbon to open the drop down list.  Click on IF in the list to pop up the function's dialog box.  From the If Function Arguments dialog box displayed, click on the icon with red color pointing upwards behind the Logical_test.
  • 38. E - 38  Then, type in the following formula and click on the red color icon pointing down.  Click OK.  If you want to see the full formula, click on the cell E5 and the formula will be display on the Formula Bar.  Note: You may also just type the formula directly on the cell where you want to display the result. RELATIVE, ABSOLUTE AND MIXED REFERENCES Calling cells by just their column and row labels (such as "A1") is called relative referencing. When a formula contains relative referencing and it is copied from one cell to another, Excel does not create an exact copy of the formula. It will change cell addresses relative to the row and column they are moved to. For example, if a simple addition formula in cell C1 "=(A1+B1)" is copied to cell C2, the formula would change to "=(A2+B2)" to reflect the new row. To prevent this change, cells must be called by absolute referencing and this is accomplished by placing dollar signs "$" within the cell addresses in the formula. Continuing the previous example, the formula in cell C1 would read "=($A$1+$B$1)" if the value of cell C2 should be the sum of cells A1 and B1. Both the column and row of both cells are absolute and will not change when copied. Mixed referencing can also be used where only the row OR column fixed. For example, in the formula "=(A$1+$B2)", the row of cell A1 is fixed and the column of cell B2 is fixed.
  • 39. E - 39 LINKING WORKSHEETS You may want to use the value from a cell in another worksheet within the same workbook in a formula. For example, the value of cell A1 in the current worksheet and cell A2 in the second worksheet can be added using the format "sheetname!celladdress". The formula for this example would be "=A1+Sheet2!A2" where the value of cell A1 in the current worksheet is added to the value of cell A2 in the worksheet named "Sheet2". VLOOKUP FUNCTION VLOOKUP is a very useful function for easily searching through one or more columns in large worksheets to find related data. Sample VLOOKUP formula: =VLOOKUP(B5,Sheet2!$A$4:$B$13,2,FALSE) 1. =VLOOKUP – The = denotes that this cell will contain a function and in our case that is the VLOOKUP function to search through one or more columns of data.
  • 40. E - 40 2. B5 – The first argument for the function. This is the actual search value that we want look for. The search word or value is whatever is entered into cell B5. 3. Sheet2!$A$4:$B$13– The range of cells on Sheet2 that we want to search through to find our search value in B5. Since the range resides on Sheet2, we need to precede the range with the name of the sheet followed by an !. If the data is on the same sheet, there is no need for the prefix. You can also use named ranges here if you like.
  • 41. E - 41 4. 2 – This number specifies the column in the defined range that you want to return the value for. So in our example, on Sheet2, we want to return the value of Column B or the course description, once a match is found in Column A. Note, however, that the column’s position in the Excel worksheet does not matter. So if you move the data in Columns A and B to D and E, let’s say, as long as you defined your range in argument 3 as $D$4:$E$13, the column number to return would still be 2. It’s the relative position rather than the absolute column number. Another thing you may have noticed is the use of the $ symbol in front of the column letter and row number. We have to use absolute referencing. The $ symbol tells Excel that when the formula is dragged down to other cells, that the reference should remain the same. 5. False – False means that Excel will only return a value for an exact match. If you set it to True, Excel will look for the closest match. If it’s set to False and Excel cannot find an exact match, it will return #N/A. If you’re going to set the last argument to True, you need to make sure that the data in your lookup range is sorted in ascending order otherwise it will not work!
