12. Intro to Excel - Session 2.112 Entering Formulas Formulas are equations that perform a calculation An = sign at the beginning of a cell indicates you are entering a formula If formulas contain more than one operator, Excel performs the calculation according to the standard order of precedence

13. Intro to Excel - Session 2.113 Order of Precedence Predefined rules used to perform a calculation: 3 + 4 * 5 = ? Is the answer 35 or 23 ?

14. Intro to Excel - Session 2.114 Order of Precedence (continued) Exponent: ^ Multiplication and Division: * and / Addition and Subtraction: + and - 3 + 4 * 5 = 23 (3 + 4) * 5 = 35

15. Intro to Excel - Session 2.115 Copying Formulas Menu Commands Toolbar buttons Fill Handle

16. Intro to Excel - Session 2.116 Relative vs Absolute Reference Relative Cell Reference = A5*B5 Absolute Cell Reference = $A$5*$B$5

17. Intro to Excel - Session 2.117 Relative vs Absolute References when Copying Formulas Relative Cell References - cell references change when they are copied Absolute Cell References - cell references do not change when they are copied

18. Intro to Excel - Session 2.118 Mixed References Part of the reference is absolute and part is relative: $A5
