Basic arithmetic functions in Excel are essential for performing mathematical operations. Here are some commonly used and important basic arithmetic functions:
1) SUM: Adds up a range of numbers.
Example: =SUM(B2:B11) adds the values in cells B2 through B11.
2) AVERAGE: Calculates the average of a range of numbers.
Example: =AVERAGE(B2:B11) gives the average of values in cells B2 through B11.
3) MIN: Returns the smallest value in a range of numbers.
Example: =MIN(B2:B11) finds the smallest value in cells B2 through B11.
4) MAX: Returns the largest value in a range of numbers.
Example: =MAX(B2:B11) finds the largest value in cells B2 through B11.
5) COUNT: Counts the number of cells in a range that contain numbers.
Example: =COUNT(B2:B11) counts how many cells in B2 through B11 contain numbers.
6) ROUND: Rounds a number to a specified number of decimal places.
Example: =ROUND(B2, 2) rounds the value in cell B2 to two decimal places.
7) INT: Rounds down a number to the nearest integer.
Example: =INT(B2) rounds down the value in cell B2 to the nearest whole number.
8) MOD: Returns the remainder after division.
Example: =MOD(C2, B2) gives the remainder when C2 is divided by B2.
These basic arithmetic functions are widely used in various day-to-day calculations, from budgeting and financial planning to simple data analysis. They form the foundation for more complex calculations in Excel.
