Theme purposes
 Excel is a popular spreadsheet program designed for use
on a personal computer. Although it has many applications,
Excel is used primarily as a financial modeling package for
such purposes as budgeting, cash flow forecasting, sales
reporting, and the preparation of profit and loss statements.

What is a Function?
A function is a special type of formula that produces, or "returns," a
specific result.
Excel provides more than 300 functions for use in any worksheet,
allowing you to
perform calculations that would otherwise be difficult, if not impossible, to
achieve. These functions fall into several categories including:
Math This category includes functions for computing totals,
square roots, logarithms, tangents, etc.
Statistical This category includes functions for computing averages,
maximums, minimums, variances, etc.
Financial This category includes functions for computing loan
repayments, rates of return, depreciation, etc.
Date and Time This category includes functions for computing the
number
of days in a specific date interval, the number of hours in a
specific time interval, etc.
All functions are made up of two elements: the function name and an
argument
list. The function name is simply the name assigned to the function (for
example,
SUM). The argument list usually includes one or more operands
(arguments),
enclosed in parentheses, which the function uses to produce its result.
An
argument can be any item of information that is appropriate for the
function in
which it appears -- for example, a text or numeric constant, a formula,
another
function, a single cell reference, or multiple cell references (for example,
a
range).
Since a function is a formula, it must be preceded by an equal sign (=),
as follows:
=FUNCTION NAME(ARGUMENT)
OR
=FUNCTION NAME(ARGUMENT1, ARGUMENT2, . . .)
1.- The function name and arguments can be entered in either
uppercase or
lowercase characters.
2.- Multiple arguments must be separated by commas. Spaces
separating
arguments are optional.
3.- Certain functions do not require arguments. However, it is still
necessary to
include an "empty" argument list -- for example, ( ).
Resetting
Font
Options for
Cell Entries
The ability to use different font options to display and print cell
entries is one of the most important features for enhancing the
appearance of data in a worksheet.
To reset font
options for one
or more cell
entries:
Select the cell(s) in which the new
font options are to be applied.
Click on the Format button in the Cells group
on the Home tab and choose the Format Cells
command.
On the Font panel of the Format Cells dialog
box, select the desired options.

Italic
Click on the
OK button
Bold
Using the
SUM
Function
Alternatively, you can use the Font Dialog Box Launcher in the
Font group on the Home tab, or the various buttons and boxes
in the Font group on the Home tab to reset font options. For
example, the Font and Font Size boxes allow you to apply a
new font and font size, respectively, to cell entries, while the
Bold, Italic and Underline buttons allow you to apply the
corresponding attribute to cell entries.
The SUM function returns the total of its list of numeric
arguments. It can be entered into a worksheet either manually
or by clicking on the AutoSum button. The AutoSum button is
available in two locations:
In the Editing group on the Home tab.
In the Function Library group on the Formulas tab.
Using the AutoSum button is generally the preferred method
since it allows you to quickly compute either a subtotal or grand
total (the sum of subtotals) in a single row or column, as well as
in multiple rows or columns.
To compute a subtotal (using the AutoSum button):
Select the range of entries that are to be totaled
(including the cell in which the subtotal is to appear).
Click on the AutoSum button.
To compute a grand total (using the AutoSum button):
Select all subtotal ranges (including the cell in which
the grand total is to appear).
Click on the AutoSum button.
Using the
AVERAGE
Function
The AVERAGE function returns the arithmetic
mean (average value) of its list of numeric
arguments. It can be entered into a
worksheet either manually or by expanding the
AutoSum button and by selecting the Average
option in the list that appears.
Using the
MAX and
MIN
Functions
The MAX and MIN functions return the
maximum and minimum value, respectively,
in their list of numeric arguments. Like the
AVERAGE function, the MAX and MIN functions
can be entered into a worksheet either manually
or by expanding the AutoSum button and by
selecting the appropriate option (in this case,
Max or Min) in the list that appears.
