RE: Microsoft Excel
Hi Jen
Type this in formula bar '=AVERAGE(A1:A5)'
if you wanted to get an average of cells A1 to A5.
You can also use the shortcut by clicking the dropdown function on the Autosum button on your shortcuts menu. It looks like a greek E.
Yet another way is to select the cell you want the average to appear in. Then choose Insert from the menu bar and choose Function... In the select function area choose AVERAGE. then click Okay. It will then ask for a range of cells. Simply click and drag the cells you want an average of. Then click Okay.

Excel tip:Formula for last day of monthIn some cases it is necessary to find the last day of a month for a given date. If you use the following formula, you can achieve this, ie; if you have a column of dates, use this formula to find the end of month for each day by using the fill handle. The formula is as follows, and assumes in this example that the first date in question is in cell C5, in any other cell type; =DATE(YEAR(C5),MONTH(C5)+1,1)-1 |
