Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to use formulas to perform calculations in your workbooks. You know that a formula is the recipe for a calculation, and you know how to assemble it from its various components—an equal sign, cell or range references, operators, and more. You know how to create the formulas you need and how to troubleshoot them when they go wrong.

In the next chapter, I'll show you how to use Excel's built-in functions, either on their own or in your formulas.
