FORMULAS, Maths
SUMIFS function adds all numeric values in a given range of cells based on more then one criteria. In this function you have to give first sum range ( from which we need to get the total ) then criteria range ( Name column range ) and then criteria1 and then criteria range 2 then criteria 2 (36). Example given in image below. PARAMETER: = SUMIFS ( Sum Range, Criteria Range, Criteria 1, Criteria Range 2, Criteria 2 ) IMPLEMENT: Here the auditor want to know that in this year how many car sold for Maruti Swift and if sold he want a total of the price sold. So the sumifs will take Sum range column (C) and range1 column (A) and 2 criteria 1st (Column D) Criteria range 2 Column (B) and criteria2 Column (E) FORMULA: =SUMIFS(C2:C11,A2:A11,D2,B2:B11,E2) ...

It makes work very much easy when you have a large database. Example shown in image below. PARAMETER : = SUM ( RANGE ) FORMULA : =SUM(B2:F5)
COUNT Function In Excel

COUNT Function In Excel

Count function count how many numeric value are available in a selected range. If selected range is A2:B8 and if any cell contains text or it contain numeric value together with text or the cell is empty then the Count function will ignore all that in selected range and will count the cells that only contains the pure numeric value.. You Can also select the different range by giving separate reference . PARAMETER: =COUNT ( Value1, Value2 , Value3 ) ...... FORMULA = COUNT ( A2 : B4 , A5,:B8)
COUNT BLANK In Excel

COUNT BLANK In Excel

FORMULAS, Statistical
COUNT BLANK count the cells that are empty or not having any values from the database (array) available in excel sheet. Count Blank will give you the exact result from the selected range that how many cells are empty in this excel sheet. Example shown in the image below.

COUNTA In Excel

COUNTA In Excel

FORMULAS, Statistical

Suppose you select range A2 : C6 and in that range if 2 cells are empty then COUNTA function will not count those cells and give you the numeric result of the cells that contains any value text or numbers. You can also check by entering different range. For Example A2 : C6 + D2 : E6. Example shown in image and video PARAMETER: =COUNTA ( Value1, Value2, Value3 ) IMPLEMENT: Select the range either in value1 if your database is at the same location. But if you want to check in different range then use like this =COUNTA ( A2:B4 , A5:B8) if more you can add more range too. FORMULA (1) : =COUNTA(A2:B6) FORMULA (2): =COUNTA ( A2:B4 , A5:B8)
