FORMULA? COMPLEX
FORMULA?
SIMPLE FORMULA
• Have one mathematical
operation.
Example:
=2+2
COMPLEX FORMULA
• It involve more than one
mathematical operation.
• To calculate complex formulas correctly,
you must perform certain operations
before others. This is defined in the
order of operations.
Example:
=2+2*8

A. ARITHMETIC OPERATORS
Operator Operation Sample Formula Result
Performed
^ Exponentiation =A1^3 Value in Cell A1
raised to third
power
+ Addition =A1+A2 Add the total values
in Cell A1 and A2
- Subtraction =A2-A1 Subtracts the values
in cell A2 and A1
* Multiplication =A3*3 Multiplies the value
of cell A3 to 3
/ Division =A5/2 Divides the value of
cell A5 to 2
Combination =(A1+A2+A30/3 Computes for the
average of the
values in cell A1 to
A3
