Lesson 3 Working with Formulas

When you copy a formula that contains cell references, you must then manually adjust the cell references for the new locations. True False 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

A function is a predefined formula for a commonly used calculation. True False 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

When you enter formulas into your own Excel worksheets, you can use either uppercase or lowercase letters. True False 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

A formula can consist of a single cell reference. True False 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Formulas use numbers, cell references, and operators to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. True False 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

If Excel cannot properly perform a calculation, it will display an error value in the cell where you entered the formula. True False 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

You can assume that the Excel AutoSum function will always pick the correct range to sum. True False 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Formulas can be copied from one cell to another just like any other data, such as text or numbers. True False 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

The small black box you see in the corner of the active cell is called a _____. Fill handle Pull handle Handle Pull box 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Changes Stays the same Becomes absolute None of the above If you copy a formula containing the relative reference C8 to another cell, the reference to C8 _____. Changes Stays the same Becomes absolute None of the above 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Cell references that change when copied are called _____ cell references. Automatic Absolute Resolute Relative 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

$B$6 is an example of a(n) _____ reference. Mixed Absolute Relative Dollar 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Number sign Equal sign Dollar sign Plus sign To create an absolute reference, insert a(n) _____ before the column and row of the cell reference. Number sign Equal sign Dollar sign Plus sign 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Abstract Relative Static Absolute A cell reference in a formula that does not change when copied to another cell is a(n) _____ reference. Abstract Relative Static Absolute 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

The _____ function counts the number of cells containing numbers. SUM COUNT MAX AVERAGE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

The _____ calculates the largest value in a set of numbers. GREATER MIN MAX 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

The _____ function calculates the smallest value in a set of numbers. MIN MAX SMALLEST LEAST 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

The _____ function calculates the sum of a collection of numbers. TOTAL AGGREGATE SUM COUNT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

SUM(A1:A100) TOTAL(A1:A100) =SUM(A1:A100) =TOTAL(A1:A100) To calculate the total of the cells in the range A1:A100, you would insert the expression _____ into the cell. SUM(A1:A100) TOTAL(A1:A100) =SUM(A1:A100) =TOTAL(A1:A100) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

The expression _____ returns the maximum value in the range A1:A11 and then divides the value by 100. MAX(A1:A100)/100 =MAX(A1:A100)/100 MAXIMUM(A1:A100)/100 =MAX(100)/(A1:A100) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
