Key Points

  • Formulas are basic math equations you type into a cell to get a result;
  • 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;
  • The order of operations in Excel follows BODMAS - Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication and Addition/Subtraction.
