Formulas and functions

A formula, Excel's functions with ; between their arguments, and the list under the cell while you type.

Formulas and functions

  • A value that begins with = is a formula: =A1*2, =SUM(B2:B9). It is computed as you type, out of the screen's way: a large sheet does not stop while it is.
  • Functions have their English names, and their arguments are separated by ; — =ROUND(A1/3;2), as Turkish Excel writes them. Numbers in a formula are written as you write numbers: =A1*2,5.
  • While you type a function's name, the functions it begins are listed under the cell with their arguments. Choose one, or keep typing.
  • Sixty-seven of Excel's core functions are here — sums and counts, rounding, text, dates, lookups, conditions — each checked against what Excel gives.
