READ AND LEARN

Entering Functions

Functions are predefined formulas that perform calculations by using specific values called arguments
in a particular order. Functions can be used to perform simple or complex calculations. A function is a
built-in formula in Excel. A function has a name and arguments (the mathematical function) in a
parenthesis. It may be used by itself, or it may be combined with other functions.

It has three parts:

1. Equal sign
2. Function Name
3. Arguments

A function begins with an equal sign (=) followed by the function name, an opening parenthesis, the
arguments for the function, and a closing parenthesis. Arguments can be numbers, logical values such as
TRUE or FALSE, or cell references.

There are different ways by which you can enter a formula that contains a function in a cell. You can use
the formula Autocomplete feature of Excel, use the function buttons in the function library of the formulas
tab, use the formula pallete , or by using the insert function button located in the fomula bar.

 Using Autocomplete

1. Select the cell where you want to insert the formula.

2. Type equal sign (=) and the beginning letter of the function. The program will display a list of
functions which you might want to use below the active cell.

A tooltip with the syntax and arguments also appears as you type the function.

 Using the Function in the Library Group

T L E 8 ( C o m p u t e r L i t e r a c y ) P a g e 2 | 14
 1. Select the cell you want to insert the formula.
2. On the Formulas Tab, under Function Library, choose the function category where the specific
function you want to use belongs.
3. Click the drop-down arrow and choose the function. The Function Arguments dialog box will
appear.

4. Fill each argument using any of the following:

 Click the cell if it is visible on the screen.

 Type a cell address or a cell range.
 Click the Collapse button; select the range on the worksheet

5. Click OK or press the Enter Key.

 Using the Insert Function Button

You may use either the Insert function button from the Functions Library or the one in the Formula
bar. In any case, the Function Arguments dialog box will also appear. Supply the needed arguments then
click OK or press the Enter key.

 Using the Formula Pallete

1. Select the cell where you want the function to appear.

2. Type an equal (=) sign.
3. Click the drop down list on the left edge of the
Formula Bar which is the Formula pallete.
4. Choose the function on the list or select More Functions…
to see all the available functions from the Insert Function
dialog box.
5. The Function Arguments dialog box opens, displaying the
arguments for the function.
Fill each argument by using any of the following methods:

 Click the cell if it is visible on the screen.

 Type a cell address or cell range.
 Click the Collapse button; select the range on the worksheet.
 When you are finished, click the Collapse button again.
6. Repeat step 5 for the other arguments needed in the chosen function. Choose OK when finished.

Using the Basic Functions

The Sum Function

The Sum function adds a value in a range. If you were to add the cells from B7 to B19, the function
would read as = SUM(B7:B19).

To use the Sum Function, follow the steps below:

1. Select the cell where you want to enter the function.

2. Type =SUM(
3. Enter the range of cells to sum up and then type the close parenthesis “)”.

The Average Function

The Average function is used to find the average of values in a given range. In the sample given below,
computing the average of Quiz 1 to Quiz 3 will need a formula that would appear as :
=AVERAGE(B4:D4)

The Count Function

The Count Function adds up the number of cells that contains numbers (this includes values that are results
of a formula), it can also be dates or numeric values stored as text in a given range which is specified within
the parenthesis.

CountA- This function counts the numbers of cells which contains data, or cells which are not empty in a
given range specified within the parenthesis.

T L E 8 ( C o m p u t e r L i t e r a c y ) P a g e 4 | 14
Statistical Functions

1. MIN (Minimum) - This indicates the lowest value in a range.

2. MAX (Maximum) – This indicates the highest value in a range.
3. MEDIAN- It returns the median of a given numbers. The median is the number in the middle of
a set of numbers.

The methods to use these functions are similar in using the Sum or Average Functions.

Text and Data Functions

You can also modify and format text using formulas. Let us assume that you want to convert text from
uppercase to lowercase or vice-versa to make it more readable. You can use the Proper, Upper, Lower and
Substitute Functions.

Proper Function

The proper function is used to change the case of the selected text to all proper case letters. You can use
this function if you want to copy or import data in your spreadsheet.

Syntax: =PROPER(TEXT)
Example: =Proper(A2)
Result: John Clarence D. Richardson

Upper Function

The Upper function will change all selected text into capital letter or upper case letters.

Syntax: = UPPER( TEXT)

Example: =Upper(A2)
Result: JOHN CLARENCE D. RICHARDSON

T L E 8 ( C o m p u t e r L i t e r a c y ) P a g e 5 | 14
Lower Function

The lower function will convert all selected text into lower case letters. Sometimes you import data or
copy it in the program that some of the words have incorrect capitalization.

Syntax: = LOWER( TEXT)

Example: =Lower(A2)
Result: john clarence d. richardson

Substitute Function

The substitute function will replace a set of characters with another character or text.

Syntax: = SUBSTITUTE (text, old_text, new _text)

Example: =Substitute (A2,"Clarence","Anthony")
Result: John Anthony D. Richardson

Logical Functions

The logical functions are powerful worksheet functions that enable you to add decision making and
logical preferences for your worksheets.

IF Function

The IF function returns one value if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE, and another value if that
condition evaluates to FALSE.

The IF function has the following arguments:

Logical_test -It is a value or expression that can be evaluated to True or False.

Value_if_true -This is a value that is returned if logical test is TRUE.

Value_if_false -This is the value that is returned if logical_test is FALSE.

To use the IF function using the keyboard, follow these steps.

1. Select the cell where you want the results to appear.

2. Type equal (=) sign and the function IF and an open parenthesis.
3. Type the correct arguments for the function and then type the close parenthesis.

In the given sample, the formula uses the IF function to determine if the grade is passed or failed.

Column G displays the result if the grades in column F are passed or failed. In cell G3, it uses the formula:
=If (F3>=75, “PASSED”, “FAILED”). The data in F3 which is 88.00 met the criterion set in the formula
that evaluates to True thus, the answer is PASSED.

T L E 8 ( C o m p u t e r L i t e r a c y ) P a g e 6 | 14
Nested IFs

You can have one nested function inside another one. In the first argument, you will test a condition. The
second or third arguments, the value if true or false could have another if statement.

For example, if you have the table below:

The formula =IF (A2>=90, “A” , IF(A2>=80,”B+”, IF(A2>=75,“B”, IF(A2>=70,”C”,IF(A2<70,”D”)))))

in cell B2 is used. This identifies the corresponding letter value of the grades entered in column based on
cells D2:E6.

AND Function

This returns TRUE if all its arguments evaluate to TRUE or returns FALSE if one or more arguments
evaluate to FALSE.

Syntax is =AND (logical1, logical2,…)

The logical1 is required. This is the first condition that you want to test that can evaluate to true or false.
Logical2 is optional. This is the additional condition you want to test that can also evaluate to true or false.
AND function can accommodate up to a maximum of 255 conditions.

The figure illustrates that using the

formula=AND (B3>=80, B3<90) which is
in cell C3 will result to a true statement
since B3 which refers to 85 is greater than
and less than 90. In cell C4, it returns to
FALSE since one of the arguments
evaluates to FALSE.

T L E 8 ( C o m p u t e r L i t e r a c y ) P a g e 7 | 14
OR Function

This function returns a true value if any argument is True or returns a FALSE value if the arguments are
False. Similar to AND function, OR function can also accommodate up to a maximum of 255 conditions.

Syntax: =OR(logical1,logical2,…)

Looking at this figure, cell C4 returns

a TRUE value since any in the
arguments evaluates to TRUE.

NOT Function

This function will return a TRUE value if the argument is FALSE, and will return a FALSE value if the
argument is TRUE.

Syntax: NOT (logical)

This figure shows that the cell C3

displays a false result using the
formula= Not (B3>=75) since cell B3
which is equal to 90 meets the criterion
set. This reverses TRUE to FALSE.

LOOK BACK!
The discussion was on the different functions in electronics spreadsheet and the ways to enter them
in the worksheet. It’s time for you to perform an activity that will apply your learning in these topics.
