Spreadsheet
Excel

You have to read every question very well at least 3 time and think in excel as
mathematics
Always search for keywords
A function is like : sum, Average, Min,IF….
A Formula : mean might have a function embedded with other formula
,Round,INT
When you create range make sure your range is correct
USE INT if the question has something like ( Whole number or Complete
number ) as in
For printing : print active sheet means entire sheet , print selection means
selected cells
Alwyes change spreadsheet direction to left from Page Layout tab
If function : normal is | IF(logical_test, Value_if_true, value_if_false)
1. The logical test is a cell and you should select one from :
2. > greater than
3. < less than
4. >= greater than or equal
5. <= less than or equal
6. = equal to

MIN(range)
o MAX function will return the largest value in a given list of arguments =
MAX(range)
o SUM function returns the sum of values supplied. These values can be
=SUM(range)
o Count function counts the number of cells that contain numbers, and counts
numbers within the list of arguments , text not counted
o CountIF function count cells that are equal to a value, count cells that are
greater than or equal to a value
o SumIF function adds all numbers in a range of cells based on one criteria
o IF function allows you to make logical comparisons between a value and what
