Course content Session 2 Basic Arithmetic Functions (SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX) Formatting Tables/Name Ranges Sorting and Filtering Data Data Validation Creating and Customizing Charts and Graphs
KEY IDEAS Addition (+): Used to add numbers. For example, if you want to add the values in cell A1 and B1, you'd type =C3+C4 Subtraction (-): Used to subtract numbers. For example, = D10-D11. Multiplication (*): Used to multiply numbers. For example, =A1*B1 . Division (/): Used to divide numbers. For example, =A1/B1 . SUM(): Used to add a range of numbers. For example, =SUM(A1:A10) adds all the numbers from A1 to A10. AVERAGE(): Used to find the average of a range of numbers. For example, =AVERAGE(A1:A10) . MIN(): Used to find the smallest number in a range. For example, =MIN(A1:A10) . MAX(): Used to find the largest number in a range. For example, =MAX(A1:A10) .
