- Functions are pre-built formulas that simplify complex calculations;
- A formula structure starts with an equal sign (
=
), followed by the calculation including numbers, cell references, and operators; - Operators are symbols indicating calculations such as
+
(addition),-
(subtraction),*
(multiplication),/
(division) and^
(exponents); - Operands are items in the formula such as numbers, cell references or other formulas;
