How to write formula in Excel?

 Excel formulas starts with the

equal sign ( = ) rather than ending
with it.
 The equal sign always goes in the
cell where you want the formula
answer to appear.
Cell References in Formulas

A better way would be to write formulas so that you

can change the data without having to change the
formulas themselves.
The cell reference is a combination of the column
letter and row number -- such as A1, B3, or Z345.
When writing cell references the column letter always
comes first.
Updating Excel Formulas

When you use cell references in Excel

formulas, the formulas will
automatically update whenever the
relevent data in the spreadsheet
changes.
