Arithmetic Functions

Returns the absolute value of a number i.e. value of a number is the number without its sign.

Multiplies all the numbers given as arguments and returns the product.

Rounds a number to a specified number of digits.

Adds all the numbers in a range of cells.

Adds the cells specified by a given criteria.

Multiplies corresponding components in the given arrays, and returns the sum of those products.

Statistical Functions

Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of the arguments.

Counts the number of cells that contain numbers

Counts the number of cells that contain text or numbers or both

Counts the number of cells within a range that meet the given criteria.

Applies criteria to cells across multiple ranges and counts the number of times all criteria are met
Returns the k-th largest value in a data set. You can use this function to select a value based on
its relative standing. For example, you can use LARGE to return the highest, runner-up, or third-
place score.
Returns the k-th smallest value in a data set. Use this function to return values with a particular
relative standing in a data set.

Returns the smallest number in a set of values.

Returns the largest value in a set of values.

Logical Functions

Returns TRUE if all its arguments are TRUE; returns FALSE if one or more argument is FALSE.

Returns one value if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE and another value if it evaluates to FA

A Nested IF function is when a second IF function is placed inside the first in order to test additional c

Reverses the value of its argument. Use NOT when you want to make sure a value is not equal to one
 Returns TRUE if any argument is TRUE; returns FALSE if all arguments are FALSE.

Lookup and Reference Functions

Uses index_num to return a value from the list of value arguments. Use CHOOSE to select one of
up to 29 values based on the index number. For example, if value1 through value7 are the days of
the week, CHOOSE returns one of the days when a number between 1 and 7 is used as
index_num.
looks in a one-row or one-column range for a value and returns a value from the same position in
a second one-row or one-column range

Searches for a value in the top row of a table of values, and then returns a value in the same
column from a row you specify in the table or array
Searches for a value in the leftmost column of a table, and then returns a value in the same row
from a column you specify in the table
VLOOKUP in excel stands for vertical lookup. This simple function is extremely useful if you have
large lists of data. With this function, you can easily search through a list of data and match
specific criteria.
Returns the value of an element in a table or an array, selected by the row and column number
indexes
Returns the relative position of an item in an array that matches a specified value in a specified
order
Returns a reference to a range that is a specified number of rows and columns from a cell or range
of cells.

Returns a reference indicated by a text value. Mostly used to refer a cell in another worksheet.

Text and Data Functions

Joins several text strings into one text string.

When data is imported or copied into a spreadsheet unwanted characters or words can sometimes
be included with the new data.
Excel has several functions that can be used to remove these unwanted characters and allow the
data to be used in calculations.
The LEFT function is one of these. It allows you to specify how many characters in a cell you wish
to keep. These characters are then copied to a new cell for you to work with.

LEN returns the number of characters in a text string.

Converts all uppercase letters in a text string to lowercase.

MID returns a specific number of characters from a text string, starting at the position you specify,
based on the number of characters you specify.
RIGHT returns the last character or characters in a text string, based on the number of characters
you specify.

Removes Extra spaces

 Capitalizes all text in the cell

Converts all text to small case

Capitalizes first alphabet in each word

Replaces existing text with new text in a text string.

Replaces part of a text string, based on the number of characters you specify, with a different text
string

Date & Time Functions

Returns the serial number of today’s date.

Returns the serial number of the current date and time.

IRR Effective compounded interest rate on an investment

Example: Initial investment in a security is $1000. Return after 5 years is $2000. What is the IRR?

Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5

$ (1,000) $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 2,000

IRR 14.9%

Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5

How IRR Works: $ 1,000 $ 1,149 $ 1,320 $ 1,516 $ 1,741 $ 2,000

How Might a Company Use NPV in Real Life?

Let's say a Company can estimate their cash flows from a potential expansion project for 10
years into the future.

Internally, they are targeting returns of at least 12% on all expansions and acquisitions,
in order to meet shareholder expectations and grow revenue and profits.
The NPV of those cash flows over 10 years, at the 12% discount rate, is $100 million.

But the project, even with very optimistic assumptions, will cost at least $130 million.

Therefore, it's highly unlikely that the company will pursue this project because the
numbers don't work - if they pay $130 million upfront, it will be impossible to achieve the
12% targeted IRR over 10 years.

Example:
Spec, Inc. is considering the purchase of a machine that costs $60,000 with an estimated salvage value of $12,000.

Operating cash flows are estimated to be $15,000 in year 1, $18,000 in year 2 and $20,000 in year 3.
The company's expected return on investment is 6.5%

Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Operating Cash Flows 15,000.00 18,000.00 20,000.00
Investing Cash Flows (60,000.00) 12,000.00
Total Cash Flows (60,000.00) 15,000.00 18,000.00 32,000.00

Types of Errors

Error What It Means

#DIV/0! Divide by zero error (undefined value)

Non-valid cell or range reference (usually due to
#DIV/0! deleting rows / columns)

#DIV/0! Intersecting range that doesn't intersect

#DIV/0! Function not recognized by Excel

#DIV/0! Non-valid number in calculation formula

#DIV/0! Wrong type of input to function

Cannot find match for value with lookup function;
also with array functions if referenced ranges are
#DIV/0! not same size
