Excel is a powerful tool for data analysis, and it offers a wide range of formulas to perform various

calculations and manipulations on data. Here are some commonly used Excel formulas:

1. **Basic Arithmetic Formulas**:

- **Addition**: `=A1 + B1`
- **Subtraction**: `=A1 - B1`
- **Multiplication**: `=A1 * B1`
- **Division**: `=A1 / B1`
- **Exponentiation**: `=A1 ^ B1`

Replace `A1` and `B1` with the cell references containing the numbers you want to operate on.

2. **SUM Function**: Adds up a range of cells.

- Syntax: `=SUM(range)`
- Example: `=SUM(A1:A10)` adds up the numbers in cells A1 through A10.

3. **AVERAGE Function**: Calculates the average of a range of cells.

- Syntax: `=AVERAGE(range)`
- Example: `=AVERAGE(A1:A10)` calculates the average of the numbers in cells A1 through A10.

4. **MAX and MIN Functions**: Returns the maximum or minimum value in a range of cells, respectively.
- Syntax: `=MAX(range)` or `=MIN(range)`
- Example: `=MAX(A1:A10)` returns the maximum value in cells A1 through A10.

5. **IF Function**: Performs a logical test and returns one value if the condition is true and another if it's
false.
- Syntax: `=IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)`
- Example: `=IF(A1>10, "Yes", "No")` returns "Yes" if the value in cell A1 is greater than 10, otherwise
returns "No".

6. **VLOOKUP Function**: Looks for a value in the first column of a table and returns a value in the same
row from another column you specify.
- Syntax: `=VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup])`
- Example: `=VLOOKUP(A1, $B$1:$C$100, 2, FALSE)` searches for the value in A1 in the first column of
the range B1:C100 and returns the value in the second column of the matching row.

7. **COUNT Function**: Counts the number of cells that contain numbers within a range.
- Syntax: `=COUNT(range)`
- Example: `=COUNT(A1:A10)` counts the number of cells in the range A1:A10 that contain numbers.

8. **CONCATENATE Function**: Joins several text strings into one text string.
- Syntax: `=CONCATENATE(text1, [text2], ...)`
- Example: `=CONCATENATE("Hello ", "World")` returns "Hello World".
9. **LEN Function**: Returns the number of characters in a text string.
- Syntax: `=LEN(text)`
- Example: `=LEN("Hello")` returns 5.

10. **TRIM Function**: Removes extra spaces from text, except for single spaces between words.
- Syntax: `=TRIM(text)`
- Example: `=TRIM(" Hello ")` returns "Hello".

These are just a few examples of Excel formulas. Excel offers many more functions for various purposes,
from financial calculations to statistical analysis and more. Experimenting with these formulas and
exploring additional functions will help you become proficient in Excel.
