    Familiarize the following Excel functions,

    1.1. Sum
    ➢ The SUM function adds values. You can add individual values, cell references or
    ranges or a mix of all three.
    ➢ For example:
    ➢ =SUM(A2:A10) Adds the values in cells A2:10.
    ➢ =SUM(A2:A10, C2:C10) Adds the values in cells A2:10, as well as cells C2:C10.
    1.2. Average
    ➢ Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of the arguments. For example, if the
    range A1:A20 contains numbers, the formula =AVERAGE(A1:A20) returns the average
    of those numbers.
    1.3. If
    ➢ The IF function is one of the most popular functions in Excel, and it allows you to
    make logical comparisons between a value and what you expect.
    ➢ So an IF statement can have two results. The first result is if your comparison is
    True, the second if your comparison is False.
    ➢ For example, =IF(C2=”Yes”,1,2) says IF(C2 = Yes, then return a 1, otherwise
    return a 2).
    1.4. Abs
    ➢ Returns the absolute value of a number. The absolute value of a number is the
    number without its sign.

    1.5. Averageif
    ➢ Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of all the cells in a range that meet a
    given criteria.

    1.6. Averageifs
    ➢ Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of all cells that meet multiple criteria.

    1.7. Combin
    ➢ Returns the number of combinations for a given number of items. Use COMBIN
    to determine the total possible number of groups for a given number of items.

    1.8. Permut
    ➢ Returns the number of permutations for a given number of objects that can be
    selected from number objects. A permutation is any set or subset of objects or events
    where internal order is significant. Permutations are different from combinations, for
    which the internal order is not significant. Use this function for lottery-style probability
    calculations.
    1.9. Concat
    ➢ The CONCAT function combines the text from multiple ranges and/or strings, but
    it doesn't provide delimiter or IgnoreEmpty arguments.
    ➢ CONCAT replaces the CONCATENATE function. However, the CONCATENATE
    function will stay available for compatibility with earlier versions of Excel.
    1.10. Count
    ➢ The COUNT function counts the number of cells that contain numbers, and
    counts numbers within the list of arguments. Use the COUNT function to get the number
    of entries in a number field that is in a range or array of numbers.
    1.11. Counta
    ➢ The COUNTA function counts the number of cells that are not empty in a range.
    1.12. Countblank
    ➢ Use the COUNTBLANK function, one of the Statistical functions, to count the
    number of empty cells in a range of cells.
    1.13. Text
    ➢ The TEXT function lets you change the way a number appears by applying
    formatting to it with format codes. It's useful in situations where you want to display
    numbers in a more readable format, or you want to combine numbers with text or
    symbols.
    1.14. Len
    ➢ LEN returns the number of characters in a text string.
    1.15. Mid
    ➢ MID returns a specific number of characters from a text string, starting at the
    position you specify, based on the number of characters you specify.
    1.16. Right
    ➢ This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the RIGHT and RIGHTB
    functions in Microsoft Excel.
    ➢ RIGHT returns the last character or characters in a text string, based on the
    number of characters you specify.
    ➢ RIGHTB returns the last character or characters in a text string, based on the
    number of bytes you specify.
    1.17. Left
    ➢ This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the LEFT and LEFTB
    function in Microsoft Excel.
    ➢ LEFT returns the first character or characters in a text string, based on the
    number of characters you specify.
    ➢ LEFTB returns the first character or characters in a text string, based on the
    number of bytes you specify.
    1.18. Find
    ➢ FIND and FINDB locate one text string within a second text string, and return the
    number of the starting position of the first text string from the first character of the
    second text string.
    1.19. Search
    ➢ SEARCH returns the number of the character at which a specific character or
    text string is first found, beginning with start_num. Use SEARCH to determine the
    location of a character or text string within another text string so that you can use the
    MID or REPLACE functions to change the text.
    1.20. Vlookup
    ➢ Use VLOOKUP when you need to find things in a table or a range by row. For
    example, look up the price of an automotive part by the part number, or find an
    employee name based on their employee ID.
    ➢ In its simplest form, the VLOOKUP function says:
    ➢ =VLOOKUP(What you want to look up, where you want to look for it, the column
    number in the range containing the value to return, return an Approximate or Exact
    match – indicated as 1/TRUE, or 0/FALSE).
