How do I create equations for excel?

Answer 1

functions are equations, however i do believe they will be a bit more specific than the types of equations ur looking to create. therefore...

while in a cell, press the = key, then take ur mouse and click on the cell with whatever number u want to be in the equation. the cell name (A1 for example) will appear in the cell u pressed the = key in. now press the desired operation key(+,-,*,/) and then select the cell with the next number that you want to be in the equation. repeat steps until you have the final number of the equation accounted for.

you dont have to have the numbers entered into cells either. you can replace the "click on the cell" part of the instructions directly with an actual number (9 for example). the benefit of setting ur numbers that you want in ur equations up in cells is that once the equation is complete, u can quickly see a new result of the equation simply by altering any one of the cells to a different number.

formulas in excel follow the order of precendence

parenthesis
exponents
multiplication
division
addition
subtraction

so chances are if u have a problem in a math book, and u type it into excel exactly how u c it, the correct result will appear.

if my instructions r unclear, so what! i'm certified in excel, so i don't care. hahahahahaha! thank u, come again.
