cell reference vs. absolute reference
Cell reference: they move with each new cell!!
absolute reference, will always reference one cell even if you move!!!
How to do absolute references?
When you put the column,row PUT A $ IN FRONT OF BOTH!!!
$E$2 (will refer to the same column adn row)
$E2 (will refer to the same column every time)
E$2 (Will refere to the same row each time)
How to make cell adress?
=ADDRESS(Row num, cell num)
How to find adress
=ADDRESS(ROW#,COLUMN#)
make sure you have the numbers not B1, 1,2
Root fORMULA
ROOT= ^1/2
=(cell)^(1/cell 2)
Growing by a percentage
Dying by a percent
NOTE
what r these
(cell)*(1+—- %)
(Cell)*(1——%)
IT MUST BE IN PERCENTAGE FORMAT!!!!!!!!!!!
FORMULAS
Calculating square root function/ formula
- either =swrt(cell)
- cell^(1/2)
FORMULA VS FUCNTION
Straight up add subtract w/ +-/*
=SUM =AVERAGE =PRODUCT
####
negative date/time
column width is not wide
DIV/0!
Division by zero doesnt work
N/A
no value available
Null
cell references are wrong
YOU put a space in the formula
num!
invalid numeric data (non numbers)
ref!
reference is invalid!!!!!!!
value
wrong argument is being used
name
text in formula not recognized
VALUES vs ARRAYS
when does this apply
Numbesrs, cell reference, cell ranges
cell ranges
Count(value1,value2)
SUPRODUCT(array1, array 2)
How to copy all the data in a sheet to another?
2
TRIANGLE IN TOP LEFT CORNER!!!!!!!!
OR CLICK IN TOP LEFT BOX, CTRL SHIFT RIGHT AND CTRL SHIFT DOWN
