E. Constructing Formulas Using named Ranges.To make your worksheet easier to follow, you can assign names to cells and ranges. You can

also use names in formulas to make them easier to build and reduce formula errors. For

example, a formula named revenue-cost is easier to understand than the formula A5-A8. Names

can use uppercase or lowercase letters as well as digits, but cannot have spaces. After you namea cell or range, you can define its scope or the worksheet where it can be used.

1. Open the file.xlsx from the drive and folder where you store your Data Files.

2. Click cell B4,click the Formulas tab if necessary, click the Define Name button in theDefined Names group.

3. Type current_date in the Name text box,click the Scope list arrow,click Jan Orders,thenclick OK.

G. Building a Logical Formula with the AND function.You can also build a logical function using the AND function. The AND function evaluates all of

its arguments and returns or displays, TRUE if every logical test in the formula is true. The AND

function returns a value of FALSE if one or more of its logical tests is false. The AND function

arguments can include text, numbers or cell references.

1. Click cell C7,click the Logical button in the Function Library Group,then click AND.

2. With the insertion point in the Logical1 text box,click cell F7,type,typeNone,then press[Tab].
