=SUM(number1, [number2], [number3], [number4], …) Adds all the numbers in a list or range of cells.
23. AVERAGE
=AVERAGE(number1, [number2], [number3], [number4], …) Returns the average (arithmetic means) of its arguments, which can be numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers.
24. AVERAGEA
=AVERAGEA(value1, [value2], [value3], [value4], …) Returns the average (arithmetic means) of its arguments, evaluating text and FALSE in arguments as 0; TRUE evaluates as 1. Arguments can be numbers, names, arrays, or references.
43. FIND
=FIND(find_text, within_text, [start_num]) Returns the starting position of one text string within another text string. FIND is case-sensitive.
44. SEARCH
=SEARCH(find_text, within_text, [start_num]) Returns the number of the character at which a specific character or text string is first found, from left to right (not case-sensitive).

=SUBSTITUTE(text, old_text, new_text, [instance_num]) Replaces the old text with new text in a text string, with the optional value announcing what repetition of the old text to replace.
47. MATCH
=MATCH(lookup_value, lookup_array, [match_type]) Returns the relative position of an item in an array that matches a specified value in a specified order.
48. LOOKUP
=LOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_vector, [result_vector]) Looks up a value either from a one-row or one-column range or from an array. Obsolete in new versions of Excel, provided for backward compatibility.
49. HLOOKUP

Mar 21, 2023 · All Excel formulas begin with an equal sign (=). After the equal symbol, you enter either a calculation or function. For example, to add up values in cells B1 through B5, you can either: Type the entire equation: =B1+B2+B3+B4+B5. Use the SUM function: =SUM(B1:B5) Press the Enter key to complete the formula. Done!
