However, rather than mentioning the range of cells, you can always specify the cell numbers separated by a comma, like - =SUM(cell_1, cell_2, cell_3, …)or the actual numbers you want to add separated by a comma, like =SUM(number_1, number_2, number_3, …)
As its name suggests, the function SUM() adds the numbers in a specific set of cells, like - =SUM(starting_cell : ending_cell) In our example, to calculate the SUM of all values in the Age column, I used =SUM(C2:C20) In almost all the domains, you always calculate some aggregate values in your data analysis such as addition, maximum, minimum, counting number of values, and so on.įor aggregating values, these are three of the most frequently used functions. Also, F4 is the shortcut for adding absolute cell reference in Excel formulas! In any formula when you type a cell reference, simply keep pressing F4, and then Excel will iterate you through all the absolute cell reference possibilities, for example - $A1, A$1, and $A$1 Aggregate Values with SUM(), COUNT(), AVERAGE() All you need to do is hit the F4 key where ever you want to repeat your last action. In data analysis and visualization, you will come across a situation where you need to repeat your last action multiple times. More information about its usage can be found here. Currently, this functionality is available only for Microsoft 365 subscribers. To overcome this, Excel launched the new function - XLOOKUP(). One limitation of VLOOKUP() is, the Column or the value you want to return must be present on the right side of the Lookup_Value in the dataset. With the optional argument FALSE, I returned an exact match for the value in J4. As an output, I returned the email address matching the First_Name, which is present in the 8th column. Here, Excel will search for the First_Name as mentioned in the cell J4 in the range A2:H20. In this example, I used VLOOKUP() as, =VLOOKUP(J4,A2:H20,8,FALSE) However, this input is optional.Īnd, here comes the syntax followed by an example: =VLOOKUP(Lookup value, Range, Column, Boolean)
