Understanding the
Basics: Formulas in
Calc
A formula is a calculation entered into a cell. Start with an `=` sign.
Use cell references (A1, B2, etc.) and operators (+, -, *, /, ^). PEMDAS
(Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction)
defines the order of operations.

Calculations entered into a =, cell references, operators

PEMDAS
Order of operations
Cell Referencing:
Relative, Absolute, and
Mixed
Relative references change when copied (e.g., `A1` becomes `A2`).
Absolute references stay the same (e.g., `$A$1`). Mixed references
combine both (e.g., `$A1` or `A$1`). The `F4` key toggles between
reference types.

Relative Absolute
Changes when copied Stays the same

Mixed
Combination
Essential Operators in Calc
Arithmetic operators: `+` (addition), `-` (subtraction), `*`
(multiplication), `/` (division), `^` (exponentiation). Comparison
operators: `=`, `>`, `<`, `>=`, `<=`, `<>`. The text operator `&`
combines text strings. For example, `"Hello" & " " & "World"` is "Hello
World".

Introduction to Functions: Pre-built Calculations
A function is a named formula. It performs a specific task. Use this syntax: `FUNCTION_NAME(argument1, argument2, ...)`. There are hundreds of built-in
functions for math, statistics, text, and dates.

What?
Named formula

Syntax
FUNCTION_NAME()

Access
Insert -> Function
Common Math Functions
`SUM(number1, number2, ...)` adds numbers. `AVERAGE(number1,
number2, ...)` calculates the average. `MAX(number1, number2, ...)`
finds the largest value. `MIN(number1, number2, ...)` finds the
smallest. `ROUND(number, count)` rounds a number.

Function Description Example

SUM Adds numbers =SUM(A1:A10)

AVERAGE Calculates the =AVERAGE(B1:B5)


average
Working with Text Functions
`CONCATENATE(text1, text2, ...)` joins text strings. `LEFT(text, number)` extracts characters from the left. `RIGHT(text,
number)` extracts from the right. `MID(text, start, number)` extracts from the middle. `LEN(text)` returns the length.

CONCATENATE LEFT

Joins text strings Extracts left characters


Logical Functions: Making Decisions
`IF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false)` performs actions based on a condition. `AND(logical1, logical2, ...)` returns
TRUE if all are true. `OR(logical1, logical2, ...)` returns TRUE if at least one is true.

IF
1 Conditional action

AND
2 All true

OR
3 At least one true
Practical Examples:
Applying Formulas and
Functions
Calculate sales tax: `=Price*TaxRate`. Use absolute cell reference for TaxRate.
Determine pass/fail: `=IF(Score>=70, "Pass", "Fail")`. Total cost with discount:
`=IF(Quantity>10, Price*Quantity*0.9, Price*Quantity)`.

70
Pass Score
Minimum score to pass

10
Quantity
Threshold for discount
