Absolute Reference
- Cell reference is fixed
- Cell reference is prefix with a $
Relative Reference
- Cell reference changes when copied to another location
- No prefixes
For example, you created a formula (=A2+A3) in cell A1. When this formula is copied from A1
to say B5, the formula in B5 becomes (=B5+B6). I.E. the cell references in the formula
changed relative to the location of the formula. This is termed relative referencing. Most of
the time, we use relative referencing.
However, there are times we want the formula to be copied to another location; yet keeping
the cells referenced in the formula the same as the original location. In this case, we require
absolute referencing.
To achieve this, you will need to prefix the cell referenced in the formula with a $ sign. Taking
the previous example, you will then set the formula in A1 to be =$A2+$A3. To automatically
add $ symbols, press the function key <F4>.
It is possible to have a combination of absolute and relative referencing in a formula. E.g.
=A1*$A2. This is termed mixed referencing. You can change the referencing by pressing
<F4> until you get the reference required.

The arguments to the function: These are enclosed in parentheses and if there is more
than one, they are separated by commas. They refer to the values on which the function
operates on. Arguments must be supplied in the exact quantity and order they are
specified.
In some cases, there are no arguments but the parentheses must still be specified (e.g.
=today() which displays the current PC date).

an.
ao.
ap.
aq.
ar.
You
may use the Insert
Function dialogue box to search for the function you require.
as.
at.
You will see a Function Arguments dialogue box. This box is to allow you to enter
the variables that the function needs to do the calculations.
au.
av.
2.3
Logical Functions
aw.
ax.
Logical functions enable Excel to help you make decisions automatically. To use the
logical functions, you need to specify the criteria or condition you want evaluated. The
functions will then check a cell to see if the content of the cell satisfies the criteria.
ay.
az.
Logical functions require the criteria to be specified in such a manner that the results
are black or white. In other words, the criteria must return either a TRUE or FALSE result.
In order for Excel to evaluate if a criterion has been satisfied, you need to use comparison
operators:
ba.
bb.
bd.
Equal to
<> Not equal to
bc.
be.
bf.
>
Greater than
bg.
bh.
2.3.1 Using the IF Function
bi.
bj.
The IF function checks for a condition that must be either true or false. If the condition
is true, the function returns one value; if the condition is false, the function returns another
value. The function has three arguments: the condition you want to check, the value to return
if the condition is true, and the value to return if the condition is false.
bk.
bl.
=IF(Logical_test,Value_if_true,Value_if_false)
bm.
a. Logical_test is any value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE. For
example, A10=100 is a logical expression; if the value in cell A10 is equal to 100, the
expression evaluates to FALSE.
bn.
b. Value_if_true is the value that is returned if logical_test is TRUE.
c. Value_if_false is the value that is returned if logical_test is FALSE.
bo.
bp.
2.3.2 Using the AND Function
bq.
br.
The AND function checks for a number of conditions and returns TRUE if all its
arguments are TRUE; returns FALSE if one or more arguments is FALSE.
bs.
bt. =AND(Logical1,Logical2,)
bu.
bv.
Logical1, Logical2, are 1 to 255 conditions you want to test that can be either
TRUE or FALSE.
bw.
bx.
cb.
=OR(Logical1,Logical2,)
cc.
cd.
Logical1, Logical2, are 1 to 255 conditions you want to test that can be either
TRUE or FALSE.
ce.
cf.
The AND and OR functions are quite limited by themselves. They can only return
TRUE or FALSE results. You will use these functions together with other functions such as the
IF function to act as the conditions for the IF function.
cg.
ch.
2.4
Mathematical Functions
ci.
cj.
ck.
The SUMIF worksheet function checks for a value within a range and then sums all
the corresponding values in another range. SUMIF has three arguments: the range to be
checked, the value to check for within the range (the criteria), and the range containing the
values to be summed.
cl.
cm.
=SUMIF (Range, Criteria, Sum_range)
cn.
a. Range is the range of cells you want evaluated.
co.
b. Criteria is the criteria in the form of a number, expression, or text that denies which cells
will be added. For example, criteria can be expressed as 12, 12, >12, apples.
cp.
c. Sum_range are the actual cells to sum. The cells in sum_range are summed only if their
corresponding cells in range match the criteria. If sum_range is omitted, the cells in
range are summed.
cq.
cr.
2.4.2 Using the ROUND function
cs.
ct.
cu.
da.
db.
2.4.3 Using the ROUNDDOWN function
dc.
dd.
de.
df.
=ROUNDDOWN (number, num_digits)
dg.
a. Number is the number you want to round.
dh.
b. Num_digits specifies the number of digits to which you want to round to
di. Example: ROUNDDOWN(1.4596,2) return 1.45
dj.
dk.
=ROUNDUP (number,num_digits)
dp.
a. Number is the number you want to round.
dq.
b. Num_digits specifies the number of digits to which you want to round to
dr.
ds.
Example: ROUNDUP(1.1211,2) returns 1.13
dt.
du.
2.5
Statistical Functions
dv.
dw.
dx.
The COUNTA function will count the number of cells within a range that are not
empty.
dy.
dz.
=COUNTA(Value1,Value2,.)
ea.
a. Value1 is the first range of cells you want to count
b. Value2 is the next range of cells you want to count.
eb.
ec.
You can specify up to 30 sets of cells to include in the COUNTA function.
ed.
ee.

cells.
eh.
ei.
=COUNTBLANK(Range)
ej.
ek.
Range is the range from which you want to count the blank cells.
el.
em.
NOTE: Cells with formulas that return (empty text) are also counted. Cells with zero
values are not counted.
en.

2.6.1 Using the TODAY Function
fb.
fc.
The TODAY function allows you to insert a date that automatically updates everyday.
The serial number is the date-time code used by Microsoft Excel for date and time
calculations. If the cell format was General before the function was entered, the result is
formatted as a date.
fd. =TODAY()
fe.
ff.
The TODAY function is one of the few functions in Excel that does not take any
argument.
fg.
fh.
NOTE: Excel stores dates as a sequential serial numbers so they can be used in
calculations. By default, January 1, 1900 is serial number 1, and January 1, 2008 is serial
number 39448 because it is 39,448 days after January 1, 1900. Microsoft excel for the
Macintosh uses a different date system as its default.
fi.
fj.
2.6.2 Using the NOW Function
fk.
fl.
The NOW function calculates and returns the serial number of the current date and
time. If the cell format was General before the function was entered, the result is formatted as
a date.
fm.
fn.
=NOW()
fo.
fp.
The NOW function is similar to the TODAY function in that both functions do not take
any arguments.
fq.
fr.
2.6.3 Using the DAY Function
fs.
ft.
The DAY function calculates and returns the day of a date represented by a serial
number. The day is given as an integer, ranging from 1 to 31.
fu.
fv.
=DAY(Serial_number)
fw.
fx.
Serial_number is the date of the day you are trying to find. Dates should be entered
by using the DATE function, or as results of other formulas or functions. For example, use
DATE(2008,5,23) for the 23rd day of May, 2008. Problems can occur if dates are entered as
text.
fy.
fz.
2.6.4 Using the MONTH Function
ga.
gb.
The MONTH function calculates and returns the month of a date represented by a
serial number. The month is given as an integer, ranging from 1(January) to 12(December).
gc.
gd.
=MONTH(Serial_number)
ge.
gf.
Serial_number is the date of the month you are trying to find. Dates should be
entered by using the DATE function, or as results of other formulas or functions. For example,
use DATE(2008,5,23) for the 23rd day of May, 2008. Problems can occur if dates are entered
as text.

Lookup And Reference Functions
gt.
Look up functions refer to finding values in worksheet ranges. Reference functions
refer to worksheet addresses. The VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP are examples of lookup
functions.
gu.
gv.
2.7.1 Using the VLookup Function
gw.
gx.
The VLOOKUP worksheet function finds a value in another column of a sorted list
with a row labels. The row labels are in the leftmost column and you want to look up a value in
another column based on the row labels from the same sheet or another.
gy.
gz.
ha.
=VLOOKUP(Lookup_value,Table_array,Col_index_num,Range_lookup)
hb.
a. Lookup_value: The value to be found in the first column of the array. It can be a value
reference, or a text string.
hc.
b. Table_array: The table of information in which data is looked up. Use a reference to a
range or a range name, such as Database or list. The values in the first column of
table_array can be text, numbers, or logical values.
hd.
c.
Col_index_num: The column number in the table_array from which the matching value
must be returned. A col_index_num of 1 returns the value in the first column in
table_array. If col_index_num is less than 1, VLOOKUP returns the #VALUE! Error value;
if col_index_num is greater than the number of columns in table_array, VLOOKUP
returns the #REF! error value.
he.
d. Range_lookup: This is a logical value that specifies whether you want VLOOKUP to find
an exact match or an approximate match. If TRUE or omitted, an approximate match is
returned. That is, if an exact match is not found, the next largest value that is less than
lookup_value is returned. If FALSE, VLOOKUP will find an exact match. If one is not
found, the error value #N/A is returned.
hf.
e. If range_lookup is TRUE, the values in the first column of table_array must be placed in
ascending order. You can put values in ascending order by choosing the Sort command
from the DATA MENU and selecting ascending.
hg.
hh.
2.7.2 Using the HLookup Function
hi.
hj.
The HLOOKUP worksheet function finds a value in another row of a sorted list with
column labels. The column labels are in the topmost row and you want to look up a value in
another row based on the column label.
hk.
hl.
hm.
=HLOOKUP(Lookup_value,Table_array,Row_index_num,Range_lookup)
hn.
a. Lookup_value: The value to be found in the first row of the table.
ho.
b. Table_array: The table of information in which data is looked up.
hp.
c. Row_index_num: The row number in the table_array from which the matching value
must be returned. A row_index_num of 1 returns the value in the first row value in
table_array. If row_index_num is less than 1, HLOOKUP returns the #VALUE! Error value;
if row_index_num is greater than the number of rows in table_array, HLOOKUP returns
the #REF! error value.
hq.
d. Range_lookup: This is a logical value that specifies whether you want HLOOKUP to find
an exact match or an approximate match.
hr.
hs.
ht.
hu.
hv.
2.8
Database Functions
hw.
hx.
A list is a worksheet range that contains data, with different variables occupying
different columns headed by the variable name and different records occupying different rows.
Database functions are used when you want to analyze values in a list (which is a term for a
worksheet database). Most database function names start with letter D and are called
Dfunctions.
hy.
hz.
Most database functions have the following arguments.
ia.
ib.
DATABASE: This is the range that contains the list. It must include row that holds the
column labels.
ic.
id.
FIELD: This is the label for the column you want to summarize. You can use the text
of a column label or use a number that represents the position of the column.
ie.
if.
CRITERIA: This is the range that has the criteria. It must include one column label
and a minimum of one cell below that label.

Rules to remember
a. Purpose of the Pivot table in order to determine which fields to use
b. Your list or database must contain headings or labels. This will be used by Excel to
organize the layout of your Pivot table
c. There MUST NOT be any blank rows or columns in your database
d. Do not insert sub-totals within the list as Excel will automatically generate sub-totals in
the Pivot table. You may therefore end up double counting the data
e. Do not worry about having a wrong layout. You can quickly change the layout of the
Pivot table with a few mouse actions
