1 Excel's Golden Rule. (Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston).
Excel's Golden Rule: If formula input data can change, put it in cell and refer to it with cell references. If data will not chang

2 Formula Elements.
1 Equal sign (starts all formulas).
2 Cell references (also defined names, sheet references, workbook references, table nomenclature).
3 Math operators.
4 Numbers (if the number will not change; for example, 12 months, 24 hours).
5 Functions (IF, MATCH, INDEX, COUNTIF, and so on).
6 Function argument elements (such as a 0 in the third argument of MATCH to tell function to do an "Exact Match" lo
7 Comparative operators.
8 Join operator: Ampersand (join symbol: &).
9 Text within quotation marks (for example, "For the Month Ended").
10 Array constants (for example, {1,2,3}).

3 Math Operators.
+ Adding.
- Subtracting or Negation.
* Multiplying.
/ Dividing.
^ Raising to an exponent.
() Parentheses.

4 Comparative Operators.
= Equal: are two things equal?
<> Not: are two things not equal? Type less than symbol, then greater than symbol.
> Greater than: is the thing on the lef greater than the thing on the right?
>= Greater than or equal to: is the thing on the lef greater than or equal to the thing on the right?
< Less than: is the thing on the lef less than the thing on the right?
<= Less than or equal to: is the thing on the lef less than or equal to the thing on the right?

5 Types of Formulas.
1 Calculating Formulas that calculate a number answer (like adding)
2 Logical Formulas that give you a logical value, either TRUE or FALSE (like formulas that say whether two accounts ar
3 Text Formulas that deliver a word to a cell or create labels for reports (like a label for a loan payment).
4 Lookup Formulas that look up an item in a table (like looking up a price for a product).
5 Array Formulas are advanced formulas that act on arrays (ranges) instead of individual cell references, or formulas t
Array formulas can deliver results that are calculating, logical, text, or lookup.

6 How Formulas Calculate: Order of Precedence in Excel.

1 Parenthesis ( )
2 Reference Operators: colon, space, comma
Example of colon in range of cells: =SUM(A1:A4)
Example of intersection operator: =E12:G12 F10:F15 (retrieve what is in F12)
Example of comma (union): =SUM(E10:G10,E14:G14)
 3 Negation (-)
Example: = -2^4 = 16
Example: = -(2^4) = -16
Example: --2+1 = 3
4 Converts % (1% to .01)
5 Exponents (^)
Example: 4^(1/2) = 2
Example: 3^2 = 9
6 Multiplication (*) and Division (/), lef to right
7 Adding (+) and Subtracting (-), lef to right
8 Ampersand (&)
9 Comparative symbols: =, <>, >=, <=, <, >

7 Number Formatting is a Faade.

1 What you see on the face of the spreadsheet can be different from the underlying number in the cell.
2 There can be a disconnect between what you see in a cell with your eyes and what is actually stored in the cell as co
3 Calculations are made upon the underlying number, not the Number Format that you see on the face of the sprea
Example: You can use the Decrease Decimal button to show fewer decimals, but that does not remove the decim
Example: Dates such as 12/1/2012 are serial numbers.
You "see" 12/1/2012 on the face of the spreadsheet, but the serial number 41,244 is what is actually in the ce
Formulas calculate upon the underlying serial number 41,244, not the date 12/1/2012.

8 Default Alignment in Excel.

1 Text is to LEFT. Excel is fun
2 Numbers are to RIGHT. 43
3 Logical values are CENTER. 1
4 Error values are CENTER. #DIV/0!

Calculating.
Formula Elements:
Equal sign, cell reference, math operator, number.
Annual Insurance $13,500.00

* Because the number $13,500.00 can change, we put it in a cell and make formulas that refer to it with cell referen
* Because the number 12 will not change, we type it directly into the formula.
