Microsoft Excel

Which formulas are there (and what are they) to use when working with spreadsheets in Excel? I'm particularly looking for adding, subtracting, multiplying, averages etc. Thankyou!

Assuming you have a number in box A1 and a number in box A2:

Adding is =A1+A2 or =SUM(A1:A2)

Subtracting is =A1-A2

Multiplying is =A1*A2

Average would be =A1+A2/2 or =SUM(A1:A2)/2

You can either type in the box number or select it with the mouse.

to calculate average


formula is =average(A5:A25) where A5:A25 is the cell range of the amounts you want to average
