Description

Learn how to create formulas in MS Excel that will automate calculations, save you a ton of time, and increase your productivity.

Course Description

Although it is perfectly possible to use Excel without ever creating a formula or using a function if you don’t, you’re missing out on a huge part of the application’s power.

Without formulas and functions, Excel would not be able to perform its calculations. So think of any scenario that involves addition, subtraction, division, or multiplication and that’s where you’d use a formula.

Functions are built-in formulas that have been programmed to perform a specific calculation. They can often be used to shorten and simplify what would otherwise be a long-winded manually-entered formula.

Areas Covered

• Creating basic formulas: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication
• Using parentheses in formulas – the what and why
• Copying a formula – the gotchas you need to know about
• Make formulas logical and understandable by assigning names to your important cells
• Speed up your work by using the SUM, AVERAGE, and COUNT functions
• The IFERROR function – the alternative to an ugly error
