Lesson 3
 Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

• know the most commonly used functions in Microsoft
Excel;
• use several conditional functions available in
Microsoft Excel;
 MS Excel
 It provides an automated way of displaying any statistical data. It
can be used an automatically computer for several factors that are
not easy to notice especially when faced by a large data.
 It includes several arithmetic and basic functions that will help you
to computer faster.
 Formula

Formula -  are useful in performing

various mathematical, statistical, and
logical operation. you type in the
formula, you must start with an equal
sign, so Excel knows that the data in
the cell is a formula. 
 Function
Function - is a predefined formula
that performs calculations using
specific values in a particular
order. Excel includes many
common functions that can be used
to quickly find the sum, average,
count, maximum value, and minimum
value for a range of cells.
 ARGUMENTS
 Criteria - defines the condition that tells the function
which cells to count. It can be a number, text
string, cell reference or expression.
 Range - defines one or several cells to count. 
 Average range -
 EXCEL FUNCTIONS
 COUNT - function used to count the cells with content in a range.
 SUM – function used to compute for the summation of the number of a range.
 AVERAGE – function used to compute for the average of the number of range.
 COUNTIF – function used to count the cells with a specified content within a range.
 SUMIF – function used to compute for the summation of a range if a certain condition
is met.
 AVERAGEIF - function used to returns the average (arithmetic mean) of all the
cells in a range that meet a given criteria.
COUNTIF
COUNTIF is an Excel function to count
cells in a range that meet a single
condition. COUNTIF can be used to
count cells that contain dates, numbers,
and text. The criteria used in COUNTIF
supports logical operators (>,<,<>,=)
and wildcards (*,?) for partial matching.
SUMIF

The Excel SUMIF function returns the

sum of cells that meet a single
condition. Criteria can be applied to
dates, numbers, and text. The SUMIF
function supports logical operators
(>,<,<>,=) and wildcards (*,?) for partial
matching.
AVERAGEIF

The Excel AVERAGEIF function

calculates the average of numbers in a
range that meet supplied criteria.
AVERAGEIF criteria can include logical
operators (>,<,<>,=) and wildcards (*,?)
for partial matching.
