It’s sometimes easier to see the whole formula and work with it in the formula bar than down in the worksheet page.

Once you’ve inserted the initial = sign in the target cell, you can type your formula in the formula bar. Note that in addition to appearing in the target cell, the formula also appears in the formula bar directly above the worksheet. The complete addition formula appears in both the target cell and the formula bar above. The full syntax for the formula to add the values in cells A2 and A3 is: Then click the cell that contains the second number you want to add, and its cell reference (such as A3) will appear next to the + sign. When you select a cell when building a formula, its cell reference appears in the formula. Next, click on the cell that contains the first number you want to add, and its cell reference (such as A2) will appear next to the equal sign in the formula. Then type = in the cell to start the formula. To add the numbers in two cells together, first click the on the target cell where you want the total to appear. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing All formulas in Excel start with the equal sign (=) and build from there. We’re going to group these formulas together since they are very simple and have similar syntax. If you’re using a different version of Excel, you might not have exactly the same interface and options, but the formulas and functions work the same. We’ll demonstrate using Excel for Windows under a Microsoft 365 subscription. Along the way, you’ll learn several different ways to enter formulas and functions in Excel. In this article we’ll look at five useful types of formulas and functions that will get you started performing data analysis in Excel. Fortunately, most of the actions that a typical business user would want to perform can be done with just a handful of functions. There are nearly 500 Excel functions, and the list continues to grow every year. A function is a built-in formula in Excel - basically, a shortcut for performing a calculation or other operation on cell data.
