Join Curt Frye for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding a formula to a cell, part of Office 365 for Mac: Excel Essential Training.
- Excel is great for storing data about your business.…What's even better is that you can create formulas…to summarize that data and gain insights…into your operations.…I have a list of Revenue for a number of years,…2008 through 2015.…And let's say that I want to find the sum…of all those values.…To do that I could click in cell B11…and then start entering a formula…by typing an = sign,…that way Excel knows that I want to enter a formula.…And now I need to type in the function…that I want to use.…
So let's say that I want to use SUM,…so I'll type the letter S,…and over on the right you can see…an auto-complete list.…It starts out with every function…that starts with the letter S,…and the Most Recently Used,…and one that you will use quite often in Excel is SUM.…But I'll just type the letter U,…so you can see how the auto-complete list narrows down.…We have a number of functions…and once again SUM is part of it,…and it's also highlighted in blue.…So I will press the tab key.…Pressing the tab key when you have…a function name highlighted in the auto-complete list…
