Header and footer fields

see the Header and Footer Tools Ribbon. Within this Ribbon is the Header
& Footer Elements group, as illustrated below.

You can use the icons in this section in insert an Excel field, such as the Page
Number. The great thing about fields is that they automatically update when
required. For instance if you insert a Page Number field, then as you add
more pages, the page number displayed on each page will increment.
Another very useful field is the File Name field. This displays the file name of
the document in your header or footer, when you print, and is very useful
when you have printed out a copy of a worksheet and then several months
later are trying to remember the file name you used to save the worksheet as.

NOTE: When you insert a field, such as the File Name field, you may see the
field code rather than the actual file name. When you print the worksheet
however, this code is replaced by the actual file name.
SAMPLE

which the file is stored.

PLEASE NOTE:
This section is just for reference, so do not try to follow through
instructions now just remember how you can use the help available within
Excel.

Excel 2010 has several features that help to make using spread sheets
quicker and easier. One of these is the Insert Function utility, which
saves you from typing complicated function syntax into your spread sheet.
To use this utility open a new workbook and click on the Insert Function
button.
This button is located under the Formulas tab within the Function
Library group.

Clicking on the Insert Function button will display the Insert Function

Since few people know the full details of every single Excel function, it is
sometimes difficult to choose a function that will allow you to perform a
desired task. Luckily, the Insert Function utility contains a function
wizard that can assist you in finding that perfect function.
Let's try an example. Pretend that you want to find the average price in a
hypothetical cell range. Within the Search for a function box, type.
