1.

Product Function
 Purpose:
The product function multiplies all the numbers given as argument and returns
the result.

 Syntax:
PRODUCT (number 1, [number 2] ,….)

Arguments:
number 1 Required

number 2 Optional. Can be up to a maximum of 255


arguments

 Example:

= PRODUCT (A1, A2) to multiply those two numbers together.

= PRODUCT (A1:A3, C1:C3) is equivalent to the formula

= A1* A2 * A3 * C1 * C2 * C3

 Suppose,
- 5 in cell A2
- 15 in cell A3
- 30 in cell A4
Formula Result
= Product (A2:A4) 2250
= PRODUCT (A2:A4, 2) (2250*2) = 4500
= A2*A3*A4 2250

2. Average Function
 Purpose:
It calculates the average of some numbers.

 Syntax:
= average (number 1, number 2, …..)

Number 1 Required
Number 2, …. Optional
Can be up to a maximum of 255
 Example:

DATA
A2 10 B2 15 C2 32
A3 7
A4 9
A5 27
A6 2
55

Formula Result
=AVERAGE (A2:A6) (55/5)= 11
= AVERAGE (A2:A6, 5) (55+5/6)= 10
= AVERAGE (A2:C2) (10+15+32/3)= 19

3. ABS Function
 Purpose:
This function removes the sign and returns the absolute value of a number.

 Syntax:
ABS (number)
Number Required
= ABS (A1) will return 5 if cell A1 contains -5 or 5

 Example:

DATA: -4 in cell A2

Formula Result
=ABS (2) 2
=ABS(-2) 2
=ABS (A2) 4
4. SQRT Function
 Purpose:
It returns the square root of a number.

 Syntax:
SQRT (number)

Arguments:
Number Required

1. = SQRT (16) will return 4

2. = SQRT (A1) will also return 4 if the value in cell A1 is 16

 Example:
Suppose -16 in cell A2
Formula Result
= SQRT (16) 4
= SQRT (A2) #NUM!
= SQRT (ABS (A2)) 4

5. Power Function
 Purpose:
A number is raised to a power (multiplying it by itself a certain number of times)
and returns the result by using power.

 Syntax:
Power (number, power)

Number Required
Power Required

 Example:
Formula Result
= Power (5,2) 5^2= 25
= Power ( 98.6 , 3.2) 2401077.222
= Power ( 4, 5/4) 5.656854249
6. TRUNC Function
 Purpose:
The TRUNC function removes decimal without rounding.

 Syntax:
TRUNC (number, [num_digits])

Number Required
Num_digits Optional

The default value for num_digits is 0 (zero)

 Example:
If you have 123.567 in cell A1
=TRUNC (A1, 2) will return 123.56

Formula Result
=TRUNC (123.456 , 2) 123.45
=TRUNC (123.456 , 1) 123.4
=TRUNC (123.456 , 0) 123
+TRUNC ((123.456) 123

7. INT Function
 Purpose:
The INT function truncates a given number down to the closest integer.

 Syntax:
INT (number)
Number is required

The INT function always rounds down.

 Example:
A B C
1 =INT(100.9) 100
2 5.22 =INT (A2) 5
3 5.99 =INT (A3) 5
4 99.5 =INT (A4) 99
5 -6.1 =INT (A5) -7
6 -100.9 =INT (A6) -101
8. MAX Function
 Purpose:
The Max function returns the largest value from a supplied set of numeric
values.

 Syntax:
MAX (number 1, [number2], ……)

Arguments:

Number 1 is required

Number 2 and subsequent numbers are optional.

Up to 255 numbers for which you want to find the maximum value.

 Example:

A
1 100.9
2 5.22
3 5.99
4 99.5
5 -6.1
6 -100.9

= MAX (100.9 , 5.22 , 5.99 , 99.5 , -6.1 , -100.9 )


= MAX (A1: A6)
= 100.9

9. MIN Function
 Purpose:
The MIN function returns the smallest value from a supplied set of numeric
values.

 Syntax:
MIN (number 1, [number2], ……)

Arguments:
Number 1 is required

Number 2 and subsequent numbers are optional.

Up to 255 numbers for which you want to find the minimum value.

 Example:

A
1 100.9
2 5.22
3 5.99
4 99.5
5 -6.1
6 -100.9

= MIN (100.9 , 5.22 , 5.99 , 99.5 , -6.1 , -100.9 )


= MIN (A1: A6)
= -100.9
