Analyzing Data Using Formulas

Topic:-

A. Formatting data using text functions.B. Sum a data range based on conditionsC. Consolidate data using a formulaD. Check formulas for errors

Objective:-

Formulas and function help you to analyze worksheet data. As you learn how to use different types of formulas

and functions, you will discover more valuable uses for Excel.

A. Formatting Data Using Text Function.Often,data you import needs restructuring or reformatting to be understandable and attractive,or to

match the formatting of other data in your worksheet. Instead of handling these task manually in each

cell,you can use Excel conversion tools and text functions to perform these tasks automatically for a range

of cell data.

Excel functions to sum,count and average data in a range based on criteria or conditions you set. The

SUMIF function conditionally totals cells in a sum range that meet given criteria. Similarly, the COUNTIF

functions counts cells and the AVERAGEIF function averages cells in a range based on a specific condition.

1. Click the Branch Sales sheet tab,click cell G7.
