Now that you have had experience building a spreadsheet, the next steps are to incorporate formulas that will quickly return the information you request.

In the Public Expenses by Quarter, you will learn to average string of numbers quickly. From a group of numbers, you will be able to find the largest and smallest number in just a few stokes as well as the ability to count how many numbers are in a column.

In the Sales Calculation, you will learn about Relative Referencing and Absolute Referencing.

Learning Outcomes: The student will:

• Apply AVE, MAX, MIN, Count features
• Understand the difference between relative and absolute referencing
• Apply the absolute referencing to find “What If?”
• Understand the Order of Precedence when it comes to creating complex formulas
