Excel Formulas

Excel formulas are instructions that perform calculations or operations using data in a spreadsheet. They start with an equal sign (=) and can include numbers, cell references, and functions like SUM or AVERAGE. For example, "=A1+B1" adds values from two cells. Formulas can also compare data, find averages, or extract information. They update automatically when data changes, making calculations dynamic and efficient. Formulas help analyze and organize data, saving time and reducing errors in tasks like budgeting, reporting, and data management.
