Functions


Function- Functions are predefined formulas that perform calculations by using specific values, called arguments.

Function includes two important components-

1. Structure- Structure of a function begins with the function name, followed by an opening parenthesis, the arguments for the function separated by commas, and a closing parenthesis.
E.g. = Name (argument1, argument2, ...)
                        Or
       = Name (range starting argument : range ending argument)
2. Argument- Arguments are the values passed to the functions. Arguments can be numbers, text, logical values(True or False).

SUM (Addition)- This function is used to find sum of arguments.

Syntax:-

=Sum(Argument1, Argument2, ...)

e.g. 1 =Sum(A1, A2, A3)
MS Excel Functions




e.g. 2 =Sum(A1: A3)
MS Excel Functions



AVERAGE- This function is used to find Average of arguments.
Syntax:-
=AVERAGE(Argument1, Argument2, ...)

e.g. 1=AVERAGE(A1, A2, A3)
MS Excel Functions


e.g. 2=AVERAGE(A1: A3)
MS Excel Functions



MAX (Maximum)- This function is used to find Maximum value of arguments.
Syntax:-
=Max(Argument1, Argument2, ...)

e.g. 1=Max(A1, A2, A3)
MS Excel Functions


e.g. 2=Max(A1: A3)
MS Excel Functions


MIN (Minimum)- This function is used to find Minimum value of arguments.
Syntax:-
=Min(Argument1, Argument2, ...)

e.g. 1=Min(A1, A2, A3)
MS Excel Functions


e.g. 2=Min(A1: A3)
MS Excel Functions



IF- This function first check a condition, if it is true than return value1 otherwise return value2.
Syntax:-
=If(Condition test, Value1,Value2.)

e.g.=If(A1>50, True, False)
