LESSON 5: ADVANCE AND COMPLEX FORMULAS AND COMPUTATIONS

TRANSFER GOAL/LEARNING OUTCOME:

The students in the long run and on their own will be able to create infographics in enhancing
images, facts, data, ideas or spark thereby ensuring the accurate details of the products as
being consumed and used by individuals, thus share God given talents.

OBJECTIVES:
In these lessons, you will learn the following:
1. familiarize the most commonly used function in Microsoft Excel;
2. use several functions available in Microsoft Excel; and
3. use Microsoft Excel as a variable tool in market research and product development.

CONTENT FOCUS:

Spreadsheet Software – allows users to organize data in rows and columns and perform
calculations on the data. These rows and columns collectively are called worksheet.
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android and
iOS. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language
called Visual Basic for Applications.
Basic Terms:
 Row - horizontal line of entries in a table.
 Column – vertical line of entries in a table.
 Cell - the place where information is held in a spreadsheet
 Active Cell – the selected cell
 Cell Reference – the cell address of the cell usually combine letter and number (ex. A1,
B4, C2)
  Merge – combining or joining two or more cells
 Functions – are predefined formulas and are already available in Excel
  Formula Bar – the bar that displays the contents of a cell
BASIC MATH OPERATIONS:
 =x+y – returns the sum of x and y
 =x*y – returns the product of x and y
 =x/y – returns the quotient of x divided by y
 =x-y – returns the difference of x subtracted by y
A function is a predefined formula that performs calculations using specific values in a
particular order. Excel includes many common functions that can be used to quickly find the
sum, average, count, maximum value, and minimum value for a range of cells. In order to use
functions correctly, you'll need to understand the different parts of a function and how to create
arguments to calculate values and cell references.

To help you better understand, please watch this Youtube video,

https://youtu.be/-9d4m79twdA

The parts of a function

In order to work correctly, a function must be written a specific way, which is called the
syntax. The basic syntax for a function is the equals sign (=), the function name
(SUM, for example), and one or more arguments. Arguments contain the information
you want to calculate. The function in the example below would add the values of the
cell range A1:A20.

Working with arguments

Arguments can refer to both individual cells and cell ranges and must be enclosed
within parentheses. You can include one argument or multiple arguments, depending
on the syntax required for the function.

For example, the function =AVERAGE(B1:B9) would calculate the average of the
values in the cell range B1:B9. This function contains only one argument.

Multiple arguments must be separated by a comma. For example, the function

=SUM(A1:A3, C1:C2, E1) will add the values of all of the cells in the three arguments.

Creating a function

There are a variety of functions available in Excel. Here are some of the most common
functions you'll use:

 SUM: This function adds all of the values of the cells in the argument.
  AVERAGE: This function determines the average of the values included in the
argument. It calculates the sum of the cells and then divides that value by the
number of cells in the argument.
 COUNT: This function counts the number of cells with numerical data in the
argument. This function is useful for quickly counting items in a cell range.
 MAX: This function determines the highest cell value included in the argument.
 MIN: This function determines the lowest cell value included in the argument.

To create a function using the AutoSum command:

The AutoSum command allows you to automatically insert the most common functions
into your formula, including SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, and MAX. In the example
below, we'll use the SUM function to calculate the total cost for a list of recently
ordered items.

1. Select the cell that will contain the function. In our example, we'll select cell D13.

2. In the Editing group on the Home tab, click the arrow next to the AutoSum
command. Next, choose the desired function from the drop-down menu. In our
example, we'll select Sum.
3. Excel will place the function in the cell and automatically select a cell range for
the argument. In our example, cells D3:D12 were selected automatically; their
values will be added to calculate the total cost. If Excel selects the wrong cell
range, you can manually enter the desired cells into the argument.

4. Press Enter on your keyboard. The function will be calculated, and the result
will appear in the cell. In our example, the sum of D3:D12 is $765.29.
The AutoSum command can also be accessed from the Formulas tab on the Ribbon.

You can also use the Alt+= keyboard shortcut instead of the AutoSum command. To
use this shortcut, hold down the Alt key and then press the equals sign.

To help you better understand, please watch this Youtube video,

https://youtu.be/4MxeY2m-hcI

To enter a function manually:

If you already know the function name, you can easily type it yourself. In the example
below (a tally of cookie sales), we'll use the AVERAGE function to calculate the
average number of units sold by each troop.

1. Select the cell that will contain the function. In our example, we'll select cell C10.

2. Type the equals sign (=), and enter the desired function name. You can also
select the desired function from the list of suggested functions that appears
below the cell as you type. In our example, we'll type =AVERAGE.
3. Enter the cell range for the argument inside parentheses. In our example, we'll
type (C3:C9). This formula will add the values of cells C3:C9, then divide that
value by the total number of values in the range.

4. Press Enter on your keyboard. The function will be calculated, and the result will
appear in the cell. In our example, the average number of units sold by each
troop is 849.
Excel will not always tell you if your formula contains an error, so it's up to you to
check all of your formulas.

The Function Library

While there are hundreds of functions in Excel, the ones you'll use the most will depend
on the type of data your workbooks contain. There's no need to learn every single
function, but exploring some of the different types of functions will help you as you
create new projects. You can even use the Function Library on the Formulas tab to
browse functions by category, such as Financial, Logical, Text, and Date & Time.

To access the Function Library, select the Formulas tab on the Ribbon. Look for the
Function Library group.

Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn more about the different types of
functions in Excel.

To insert a function from the Function Library:

In the example below, we'll use the COUNTA function to count the total number of items
in the Items column. Unlike COUNT, COUNTA can be used to tally cells that contain
data of any kind, not just numerical data.

1. Select the cell that will contain the function. In our example, we'll select cell B17.
2. Click the Formulas tab on the Ribbon to access the Function Library.
3. From the Function Library group, select the desired function category. In our
example, we'll choose More Functions, then hover the mouse over Statistical.
4. Select the desired function from the drop-down menu. In our example, we'll
select the COUNTA function, which will count the number of cells in the Items
column that are not empty.
5. The Function Arguments dialog box will appear. Select the Value1 field, then
enter or select the desired cells. In our example, we'll enter the cell range
A3:A12. You may continue to add arguments in the Value2 field, but in this case
we only want to count the number of cells in the cell range A3:A12.
6. When you're satisfied, click OK.
 7. The function will be calculated, and the result will appear in the cell. In our
example, the result shows that a total of 10 items were ordered.

The Insert Function command

While the Function Library is a great place to browse for functions, sometimes you may
prefer to search for one instead. You can do so using the Insert Function command. It
may take some trial and error depending on the type of function you're looking for;
however, with practice, the Insert Function command can be a powerful way to find a
function quickly.
To use the Insert Function command:

In the example below, we want to find a function that will calculate the number of
business days it took to receive items after they were ordered. We'll use the dates in
columns E and F to calculate the delivery time in column G.

1. Select the cell that will contain the function. In our example, we'll select cell G3.

2. Click the Formulas tab on the Ribbon, then click the Insert Function command.
3. The Insert Function dialog box will appear.
4. Type a few keywords describing the calculation you want the function to
perform, then click Go. In our example, we'll type count days, but you can also
search by selecting a category from the drop-down list.

5. Review the results to find the desired function, then click OK. In our example,
we'll choose NETWORKDAYS, which will count the number of business days
between the ordered date and received date.
6. The Function Arguments dialog box will appear. From here, you'll be able to
enter or select the cells that will make up the arguments in the function. In our
example, we'll enter E3 in the Start_date field and F3 in the End_date field.
7. When you're satisfied, click OK.

8. The function will be calculated, and the result will appear in the cell. In our
example, the result shows that it took four business days to receive the order.
Like formulas, functions can be copied to adjacent cells. Simply select the cell that
contains the function, then click and drag the fill handle over the cells you want to fill.
The function will be copied, and values for those cells will be calculated relative to their
rows or columns.
