There are lots of different formulas that can be used in spreadsheets to calculate or link numerical information, which takes the hard work out of mathematical calculations.
The = sign is always used when entering a formula.

You can use masses of different symbols and functions in a spreadsheet. Here are some examples:

TABLE OF FORMULAS

Formula Maths Equivalent Process
=B3+B4 8 + 6 Addition
=B3-B4 8 - 6 Subtraction
=B3*C3 8 x 1 Multiplication
=B3/C3 8 ÷ 1 Division
=SUM(B3:B4) 8 + 6 Adds contents of cells B3 to B4
=B3>B4 8 > 6 Are the cell contents of B3 greater then B4? True or False
=B4<B3 6 > 8 Are the cell contents of B4 less then B3? True or False
=AVERAGE(B2:B4) Ìý Calculates the average of the contents of the cell range B2 to B4
