It's important to note that all formulas must be preceded by the = sign. If the symbol is not found, Microsoft
Excel will recognize the entry as plain text.
Addition Formula
If you'd like to find the sum of your data data in rows A1 to A10 in your spreadsheet, you may do so by using
the following formula:
=SUM(A1: A10)
If you are looking to add data in cells that are not juxtaposed, you may do so by simply typing =SUM and
clicking directly on the cells you'd like to include. Make sure that the cells listed are surrounded by parenthesis
(i.e. =SUM(A1, A3; C4)).
Average Formula
If you'd like to find the average of your data in rows A1 to A10 in your spreadsheet, you may do so by using the
following formula:
=Average(A1: A10)
=Max(A1: A10)
=MIN(A1: A10)
The IF Function
The IF function may be used to apply a condition to your data. For example, if a manager would like to be
notified when stock on a product reaches zero, he may use this function to program a custom notification to
appear in an adjacent cell. This sort of formula would look like this:
In this case, if the contents of cell A1 is less than or equal to zero, the words "to order" will appear in an
adjacent cell. If the contents of cell A1 is greater than zero, the column will read "in stock."
To freeze specific tabs, head to the View tab. Here, you have the option to either Freeze Top Rowor Freeze
Top Column. Click either option to lock your cells in place.
If you'd like to lock multiple rows, simply select the row below the last row you'd like to freeze and then head to
the View tab > Freeze Panes. Note that all rows up to and including row one will be locked.
To freeze multiple columns, highlight the column to the right of the last column that you'd like to freeze, and
then head to the View tab > Freeze Panes. Note that all columns up to and including column A will be locked.
