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.

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 dialog box. SAMPLE FOR USE AT THE LICENSED SITE(S) ONLY 2010 Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd. www.cheltenhamcourseware.com.au Excel 2010 Intermediate Page 39 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. Finding the average SAMPLE FOR USE AT THE LICENSED SITE(S) ONLY 2010 Cheltenham Courseware Pty. Ltd. www.cheltenhamcourseware.com.au Excel 2010 Intermediate Page 40 Click on the Go button to perform the search. NOTE: Click on the GO button, NOT the OK button.

There is also a brief description of the selected function at the bottom of the dialog box to further help you in making your choice, as illustrated below. If you need further assistance, be sure to click on Help on this function, which will provide you with more detailed help online. Use these features; they are there to help you.

Click on cell B13 and enter the following formula. SAMPLE =IF(AVERAGE(B3:B6)>25,SUM(B3:B6),0) FOR USE AT THE LICENSED SITE(S) ONLY 2010 Cheltenham Courseware Pty.

Sales for the North region exceeded their targets, (i.e. the average is over 25) so in cell B13 you see the sales summed, while in cell C13, you see a 0 figure as sales for the South region were below an average of 25: SAMPLE FOR USE AT THE LICENSED SITE(S) ONLY 2010 Cheltenham Courseware Pty.

We are going to use mixed references within the workbook to produce a multiplication table that will display all possible values for up to 'ten times ten'. When you create a mixed cell reference, either the column or the row uses absolute referencing, which will not change when the formula is copied and pasted to another part of your worksheet. SAMPLE An absolute cell reference contains a dollar sign in front of both parts of the reference whereas a mixed cell reference contains a dollar sign in front of just one part of the reference. Click on cell B2 and insert the following formula, which contains 2 mixed references. =B$1*$A2 Your worksheet will look like this. FOR USE AT THE LICENSED SITE(S) ONLY 2010 Cheltenham Courseware Pty.
