Relative references A2, C5, D10
Absolute references $A$2, $C5, D$10
Using a $ sign before a row label (for
example, B$4) keeps the reference fixed to
row 4 but allows the column reference to
change if the formula is copied to another
cell.
Using a $ sign before a column label (for
example, $B4) keeps the reference to
column B fixed but allows the row
reference to change
Using a $ sign before both the row and
column labels (for example, $B$4) keeps
the reference to cell B4 fixed no matter
where the formula is copied.
SUM IF, AVERAGE IF, SUM IFS, and can be used to embed IF logic within mathematical functions.
AVERAGE IFS
SUMIF Sum range an optional argument that allows you to add cells in a different range.

is a descriptive label assigned to a cell or range of cells. There are several ways to

, • To concatenate means to join. In many applications, you might wish to take text data
that are in different columns and join them together (for example, first and last
names). The Excel function CONCATENATE(text1, text2, . . . , text30) can be used to
Concatenation
join up to 30 text strings into a single string.
-Suppose that cell A1 contains the last name Smith, and cell B1 contains the first name
John. Then CONCATENATE(B1, " ", A1) will result in the text string John Smith.
• #DIV/0!—A formula is trying to divide by zero.
• #N/A—"Not available," meaning that the formula could not return a result.
• #NAME?—An invalid name is used in a formula.
Error Values • #NUM!—An invalid argument is used in a function, such as a negative number in
SQRT.
• #REF!—A formula contains an invalid cell reference.
• #VALUE!—Excel cannot compute a function because of an invalid argument.
• IFERROR(value, value_if_error) displays a specific value if an error is present.
• For example, if you are computing A1/B1, then if B1 is zero or blank, then
IFERROR Function
= IFERROR(A1/B1, " ")
will display a blank cell instead of #DIV/0!;
