202X2 Basic Spreadsheet Formulae Exercise

The greatest power of spreadsheets is that they can be programmed (the formula) to do the maths as you update the data

The most basic calculations are:

  • add +
  • subtract (minus) –
  • multiply *
  • divide /

These symbols are keys on your keyboard (on the main keyboard – you will need SHIFT for the * as it is over the 8). They are also on the calculator keyboard of a desktop computer

  • You can combine + – / * according to the maths you need
  • The answer of the calculation will display instead of the formula
  • You tell the spreadsheet you are about to write a formula by always starting with = (equals)
  • You can build very complex formulae
