Formulae
‘A formula uses basi arithmetic calculation. There are Plus, minus, divide, and multiply , for
example =BS+B6.
There is no limit to the number of arithemetic calculations that can be used for
example=(BS+R6)/*3/100-(D1-D2).
Functions

um(A5:B10) or =Average (Cosi).it is reserved Word within the spreadsheet software the
processes a serie of predefined formulae.

LOOKUP]

LOoKUP tok)=XLOOKUP(B3,SBS2:3B58,SAS2.SA38,"Not

is a new function in Exce! that can be used to
pecform cither a horizontal or a vertical look up of
data. This is similar to HLOOKUP and
VLOOKUP,but is more powerful and flexible
than cither ofthese. It will also reference data
stored in rows/columns before the lookup value. It
therefore allows backward referencing within an
array. The values to be looked up can be stored to
either the right or left or above or below the
lookup array. The look up data can be
stored either in the same file or ina different file.
