Writing formulas

What are the key stages of writing a formula?

RE: Writing formulas

Hi Charlotte,

Thanks for the question

The fundamental rule is to press = at the beginning, then you must put the cell ref then the operator (+ - / or *) and continue until you decide you have finished then you press enter. So for example =A1+B1+C1 (enter). Also remember excel follows the rules of BODMAS so 1+2*3 will be 7 because the multiplication comes before the addition.

If there is anything specific you would like me to help you with let me know

Excel tip:

How to select certain data in an Excel 2010 workbook

If you want to select the correct data set in a page full of data, the most accurate and efficient way of doing this is to use the ''Shift and Click'' technique.

For example: If you want to select all data in cells A2 to E10, then click on cell A2, hold down the Shift key and click on cell E10 and all the data you want to see is highlighted.

Keep holding down the Shift key and you can move from cell E10 to any other cell in the spreadsheet.
