Chapter - 3
More on MS Excel 2007 – Formulae and Functions
1.
What do you understand by the term Conditional Formatting?

This feature allows us to format the data in the worksheet depending on if it satisfies a certain condition.
2.
What are functions?

Functions are predefined commands that act on a cell or range of cells and perform some particular operation quickly.

Filtering is a quick way to find a set of data in a range.
4.

Cell referencing means how a cell address behaves in the formulae when it is copied from one cell to the other.
5.
What do the following functions do? Explain with proper syntax and example of each.

a)      SUM:
It adds all the numbers in a given range of cells.
Syntax: =SUM(range or numbers)
Example: =SUM(A1:A5)
b)     AVERAGE:
It calculates the average of the numbers in a given range of cells
Syntax: =AVERAGE(range or numbers)
Example: =AVERAGE(A1:A5)
c)      MIN:
It returns the smallest value in a given range of cells.
Syntax: =MIN(range or numbers)
Example: =MIN(A1:A5)
d)     MAX:
It returns the largest value in a given range of cells.
Syntax: =MAX(range or numbers)
Example: =MAX(A1:A5)
6.
What is the use of IF function? Explain with an example.

The IF function checks to see if a condition you specify is true, or false. The IF function returns the first value if the condition specified evaluates to TRUE and the second value if it evaluates to FALSE.
Syntax: =IF(condition, value_if_True, value_if_False)
Example 1: =IF(A1>50, 150,100)
Example 2: =IF(A2=100, A2*10,”LOW”)
7.
What is Sorting? In how many ways you can sort your data?

Sorting means to arrange data either in ascending or descending order. Excel allows you to sort by date, sort by text or numbers, sort by multiple columns, or by colour. And, if you like, you can even colour code your data.
8.
Define the following with an appropriate example of each.

a)      Relative referencing: in this referencing both column part and row part are not fixed. E.g. if the formula in D4 is =B4*C4, when the formula is copied vertically notice that the cell address in the formula is automatically changed. (Pg. No 36)
b)      Absolute referencing: in this referencing both column part and row part are fixed.  E.g. if the formula in D4 is =$B$4*2 and when it is copied to the lower rows, there is no change in the cell address. (Pg. No 37)
c)      Mixed referencing: in this referencing either column part or row part is fixed.  E.g. $B4 is a mixed cell reference with absolute column and relative row and C$4 is a mixed cell reference with relative column and absolute row. (Pg. No 37)
9.
Write the steps to apply Custom Filter on a range of cells.

Step 1: Click Data tab – filter
Step 2: Click the arrow in the column heading.
Step 3: Select Number Filters from the list.
