Day 5:Excel Chapters 2 Rahul KaviRahul.Kavi@mail.wvu.edu SEPTEMBER 3rd, 2013
RECAP • Formatting. • Number Formats. • Printing and Page Layout. • Cell References. • Commonly used functions, other functions(Date & Time) • Nested Functions.
Conditional • IF(condition, then, else) • Equal = • Not Equal <> • Less Than <, LT or Equal <= • Greater Than >, GT or Equal >= • Example: You want to add bonus points if there is a yes in the bonus column • IF(C2=“YES”,B2+$E$2,B2)
Nested Functions • You can use a function as the parameter for another function. • Example: Drop the lowest grade • 5 Assignments, 25 points each • SUM(B2:F2, -MIN(B2:F2))
Payments • Used for calculating loan payments • PMT(rate, number of periods, present value) • Rate is per payment period • Present value is usually negative (loans are debt)
Lookup Functions • VLOOKUP(value, lookup table, column) • value is the item to look up • the table should use absolute references ($A$1:$B$6) • column is the column in the lookup table to get the return value • HLOOKUP(value, lookup table, row) • same as VLOOKUP, but for horizontal lookup tables
Range names • Range names make it easier to specify ranges in formulas and find ranges within large spreadsheets • Must begin with a letter or underscore • Only letters, numbers, underscores, and periods • You can reference the range in formulas with the name instead of using absolute references
Managing range names • Name Box • Name Manager Tool • Formulas->Name Manager • Can add, edit, or delete ranges names • Use in Formula • Paste Names as documentation • Find name for formula • Autocomplete will show range names, double click the name to fill it in
