A formula is an expression which calculates the value of a cell. Functions are predefined formulas and are already available in Excel. For example, cell A3 below contains a formula which adds the value of cell A2 to the value of cell A1.
In the Editing group, click on the Find button and select "Go To" from the popup menu.
- When the GoTo window appears, enter A1 in the Reference field and click on the OK button.
- Select the Home tab from the toolbar at the top of the screen.
- Now you should be able to see column A in your Excel spreadsheet.
- NEXT.
A formula is an expression telling the computer what mathematical operation to perform upon a specific value. When referring to computer software, formulas are most often used in spreadsheet programs, such as Microsoft Excel.
Use a formula
- Enter the value 65 in any cell - CHAR(65) will return A. (Start with 97 if you want lowercase letters.)
- Select the cell that contains the value 65 and hold down the [Ctrl] key.
- Pull down the fill handle (the little plus sign at the bottom-right corner of the cell).

The “Mean” requires you do arithmetic (adding all the numbers and dividing) so that's the “mean” one. “Median” has the same number of letters as “Middle”.
If you're writing a check, you only need to write the full dollar amount in words. 1? For portions less than one dollar, use a fraction. Examples: One thousand two hundred thirty-four dollars and 56/100.

The Col_index_num (Column index number) is the relative column number in the list. Nothing to do with where it is in Excel, it's the column number in the table. The price is in the second column of the table. The Range_lookup argument is critical. Read its definition at the bottom of the Formula Palette.
Quickly Fill Numbers in Cells without Dragging
- Enter 1 in cell A1.
- Go to Home –> Editing –> Fill –> Series.
- In the Series dialogue box, make the following selections: Series in: Columns. Type: Linear. Step Value: 1. Stop Value: 1000.
- Click OK.
MATCH Function to get Column Index from Table 1
- Select cell H3 and click on it.
- Insert the formula: =MATCH(G3,Table1[#Headers],0)
- Press enter.
- Drag the formula down to the other cells in the column by clicking and dragging the little “+” icon at the bottom-right of the cell.
The COLUMN function in Excel is a Lookup/Reference function. This function is useful for looking up and providing the column number of a given cell reference. For example, the formula =COLUMN(A10) returns 1, because column A is the first column.
A row is identified by the number that is on left side of the row, from where the row originates. Columns run vertically downward across the worksheet and ranges from A to XFD - 1 to 16384. A column is identified by a column header that is on the top of the column, from where the column originates.
Convert column number to letter
- =SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,B5,4),"1","") How this formula works.
- ADDRESS(1,B5,4) With this information, ADDRESS returns the text "A1".
- =SUBSTITUTE("A1","1","") We can confidently look for "1" and replace with "" in all cases, because the row number is hard-coded as 1 inside the ADDRESS function.
Autofill cells
Autofill one or more cells with content from adjacent cells: Select the cells with the content you want to copy, then move the pointer over a border of the selection until a yellow autofill handle (a dot) appears. Drag the handle over the cells where you want to add the content.How many sheets, rows, and columns can a spreadsheet have?
