Excel Flashcards
MONTH
if you want the 1 in 1/16/2014 and turn it to a month name, and that format was in A10, then you would want to use this formula
=TEXT(A10,”mmmm”)
Division
=A2/B2
=Cell/cell
ADDITION
=Sum(A1,A2)
for multiple cells =Sum(A1,A4)
=SUM(CELL,CELL)
Max
=max(A1:A24)
MINIMUM
=min(A1:A2
Count
count the number of rows. This one counts numbers and letters
=countA(A1:A8)
COUNT
(this one only counts numbers)
=count(A1:A2)
AVERAGE
=Average(D3:D7)
MULTIPLAY AND DIVIDE
=A2*B2/C2
IF
Grandpa John gives his kids Christmas gifts, but only if they are younger than 18. Column B are the kids
MODEL
=IF(logical test,[value if true],[value if false])
=IF(B2>18,”no”,”yes”)
=IF(the column you want the answer for PACMANED, “anawer”,”answer”)
NESTED IF
If A2 was a student name and we had to give a grade of A,B,C,D,or F, and you needed 89 or above for an A, 79 or more for a B, 69 for C, 59 for a D or an F
=IF(A2>89,”A”,IF(A2>79,”B”,IF(A2>69,”C”,IF(A2>59,”D”,”F”)
CONCATENATE
=CONCATENATE(B2,” “,c2)
=CONCATENATE(The first word, telling to put the 2 words together, The last of the second word)
NESTING
Using a function as one of the arguments in a formula that uses a function
VLookup Formula
=vlookup(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_Lookup])
VLookup Arguments
lookup_value – what we are looking for – this could be a text, number, or a single cell reference
table_array/table range – the range in which we will lookup for our value and its corresponding result. Please note that the range must start from the column which contains the value, and should contain the column in which we have our result.
col_index_num – What is the column number from which we want to return the result? The number should be relative to the first column in the selected range in table_array.
[range_lookup] – Which range lookup method should be used. 0 is the default, so you should always type 0 (or FALSE), which means “Exact Match” – Go to the exact match to the value I’m looking for. 1 (or True) stands for “Approximate match”, and it should not be used on most cases so we’ll skip it for now.
VLOOKUP Simple Hugh explanation
(What I am lookup for, Somewhere within the range of these cells, within the number of columns i selected or what is the last column I selected, is it precise [False or 0] or approximate [true or 1]
SumIF
=SUMIF(B2:B25,”>5”)
=SumIF(Cell:Cell,”answer”)
=SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range])
AUTOFILLING/FILL HANDLE
Highlight
ASCENDING with numbers
type in two or more numbers in separate cells so Excel gets an idea of the pattern that u want to drag the bottom right and the it will ascend
to copy just insert data in one cell then drag
SumIf Example
I want to only find the total sales in the New YOrk area, and the cities are in column E. Some of the cities in column E are not New York, and they are in the range of E2 to E20. And the city’s total sales are in the G column which the range is G2 to G20. what is my sumIf Syntax
=SumIf(E2:E20,”New York”,G2:G20)
