This document provides lessons on advanced formulas and computations in Microsoft Excel including financial, logical, lookup, and statistical functions. It demonstrates the PMT, CORREL, COUNTIFS, LOOKUP, and TRANSPOSE functions through examples calculating loan payments over time, finding the correlation between two data sets, counting cells that meet multiple criteria, looking up values in a range, and transposing a vertical range of cells to horizontal. Formulas are explained and examples are provided of their proper syntax and use.
2. WHAT IS MICROSOFT EXCEL?
This provides several functions which are very
useful in calculating data. These function are
categorized into financial ,logical ,text ,date
and time , lookup and reference, math and
trigonometry, statistical, engineering , cube,
and file-related information.
3. PMT FUNCTION
The example given below shows the computation of
loan payment assuming that you will borrow Php
10,000.00 for 2 years at 8 percent annual interest
rate.
Data are entered in cells B1, B2, B3 and E2. PMT is
a financial function that calculates the payment for
a loan based on constant payments and a constant
interest rate. In the given example, PMT has the
4. Actual PMT is another input which should be a
little higher than the computed PMT. The
following are the formulas used in the specified
cells of the sample worksheet. Drag the
formulas down to populate the table.
B7: =$E$2
C7: =(E6*$B$2)/12
D7: =B7-C7
E7: =E6-D7
8. CORREL FUNTION
CORREL is a statistical functions that returns
the correlation coefficient between two data
sets.
Assuming that you want to find the value of the
correlation coefficient from the given table
below, you can use Correl with the formula:
=CORREL(B2:B16,C2:C16)
9. •Where B2:B6 is the first dataset which is Age
and C2:C16 is the second dataset which is
Glucose Level. By the entering this correl
formula to any cell on the worksheet, you get
0.677967.
13. TO USE LOOKUP, DO THE
FOLLOWING:
•1. Create your vector either on the worksheet where
your data is located or another worksheet. In this
case, let’s put the vector on cells F1:G6 on the same
worksheet.
•2. On cell C2 of your worksheet where your data is
located you may then enter the Lookup formula:
=LOOKUP(B2,F1:F6, G1:G6)
14. TRANSPOSE FUNCTION
•Converts vertical range of cells two a
horizontal range, or vice versa. Using the
same sample data given below, let’s
transpose the name from A2:A6(vertical)
to A9:E9(horizontal).
15. TO TRANSPOSE THE NAMES DO THE
FOLLOWING:
1.Highlight the cells where you want to put the
transpose values.
2.Type the formula =TRANSPOSE(range).
3.After typing the formula, press
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to create an array
formula.
