Activity 1.
1. What is a simple Formula? and Complex formula? Give an example and explain.

FORMULA
A formula is an equation that performs computations on values in a worksheet, such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. A value in Excel can be a number, a cell address,
a date, text, or Boolean data, although in formulae, it's usually a number or cell address. Operands
and computation operators are the two parts of a formula. The values to be employed in the
calculation are identified by the operands. A constant value or a variable, such as a cell reference,
a range of cells, or another formula, can be used as an operand. A constant is a value that is directly
inserted into a formula as a numeric or text value. A variable is a symbol or name that stands for
something else, such as a cell address or a range of cells. The computations to be conducted are
specified by calculation operators. All formulas begin with an equal sign (=) to help Excel
distinguish them from data.

A simple formula, such as 7+9, is a mathematical equation with only one operator. A
complicated formula, such as 5+2*8, has more than one mathematical operator. When a formula
has many operations, the order of operations instructs Excel which one to calculate first.

In your worksheet, you can create a basic formula to add, subtract, multiply, or divide data.
Simple formulas generally begin with the equal sign (=), followed by numeric constants and
calculation operators like plus (+), minus (-), asterisk (*), and forward slash (/).

Let's look at a basic formula as an example.

1.1 On the worksheet, click the cell where you want the formula to be entered.

1.2 Type = (equal sign) followed by the constants and operators you want to use in the
calculation (up to 8192 characters).

Type =1+1 in our example.

1.3 Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) to begin (Mac)

Example #2

I'll show you a simple addition example in this example. I have two numbers: one is ten
and the other is fifteen. We'll make the calculation in simple math’s like this.
The sum of 10 and 15 is 25.

Now, look at the excel image below. In cell A1 and A2, I have 10 and 15, respectively.

Now I want to add these two numbers. I can do this calculation in two ways. All
the formulas in excel will start with an equal sign (=).

Either I can enter the numbers directly to the cell, or I can give a cell reference.
Look at the below image. I have passed the two numbers to the addition directly.

In cell D1, I have entered the formula as =10+15. This is not the dynamic formula
because I have not given any cell references here. Suppose I want the formula to show 30.
As a result, I need to edit the formula and change the values.

Now, look at the below dynamic formula.

 Now, look at the above image. In cell A3, I have mentioned the formula
as =A1+A2. Instead of supplying the values directly to the formula, I have given a
reference to cells A1 and A2.

This is the dynamic formula because to change the result of the formula; I need not
change the formula; rather, I can change the values in cells A1 and A2.

Complex (advanced) Excel formulas include more than one calculation, for
example =10*5+20 or =SUM (A1:A10)/2.

2. What are the elements of a formula?

Elements of Microsoft Excel formulas

When creating a formula in Excel, you can utilize several elements to provide the
formula with source data and to specify which operators should be applied to that data.
You can include any or all of the following sections in your formula, depending on the type
of formula you create:

Constants are integers or text values that are directly entered into a formula, such
as =2*3.
Cell references - = SUM, for example, is a cell reference to a cell containing the
value you want to utilize in your Excel formula (A1, A2, B5). Use a range reference
like A1:A5 to refer to data in two or more adjacent cells. To sum values in all cells
between A1 and A5, for example, use the following formula: = SUM (A1:A5).

Names - = SUM is a specified term for a cell range, constant, table, or function
(my name).

Functions - Excel formulae that perform computations based on the values

entered into their parameters.
 Operators - special symbols indicating the sort of operation or computation to be
carried out.

3. What is an Excel Function?

A PREDEFINED EXCEL FUNCTION is a formula that is utilized for certain

values in a given order. For rapid tasks such finding the sum, count, average, maximum
value, and minimum value for a range of cells, the function is employed. The SU M
function, for example, is used in cell A3 to determine the sum of the range A1:A2.

➢ SUM for summation of a range of numbers

➢ AVERAGE for calculating the average of a given range of numbers
➢ COUNT for counting the number of items in a given range

When working with Excel, functions boost user efficiency. Let's imagine you want
to know the entire cost of the home goods budget mentioned above. To make things easier,
you can use a formula to calculate the total. You'd have to reference the cells E4 through
E8 one by one with a formula. You would have to use the formula below.

= E4 + E5 + E6 + E7 + E8

With a function, you would write the above formula as:

=SUM (E4:E8)

As you can see from the above function used to get the sum of a range of cells, it is
much more efficient to use a function to get the sum than using the formula which will
have to reference a lot of cells.

4. What is chart?
 A chart is a graphical representation of numeric data in a worksheet. Data values
are represented by graphs with combinations of lines, vertical or horizontal rectangles
(columns and bars), points, and other shapes. When you want to create a chart or change
an existing chart, you can choose from 16 chart types with numerous subtypes and combo
charts. These include five new chart types offered in Excel 2016—Treemap, Sunburst,
Histogram, Box & Whisker, and Waterfall. Table 12-1 gives a brief description of the most
commonly used Excel chart types.
