  • Can also use Insert Menu from Menu Bar to add rows/columns

Using Formulas and Functions

  • Formulas are used to perform calculations such as addition, subtraction, averaging, and more complex operations.
  • A major advantage of formulas is that when data changes, Calc automatically recalculates the result.
  • Formulas can also be copied easily to multiple cells.
  • Example: Adding two numbers (4 + 5) in cell D6
    • Step 1: Type = in cell D6
    • Step 2: Type 4+5
    • Step 3: Press Enter → Result = 9
    • The formula (=4+5) is visible in the Input line
  • Instead of numbers, we can also use cell references to perform calculations.

Cell Reference (Cell Address)

  • Identifies the location of a cell in a worksheet
  • Format: Column letter + Row number (e.g., A1)

Types of Cell References

  • Individual Cell Reference
    • Example: A1 (Column A, Row 1)
  • Range of Cells
    • Uses colon (:)
    • D1:D5 → Cells from D1 to D5
    • A5:E5 → Cells from A5 to E5
    • A1:B2 → Block of cells (A1, A2, B1, B2)

Ways to Enter Cell Reference

  • By typing using keyboard
  • By clicking cells using mouse
  • Steps to insert cell reference using mouse
    • Double-click the cell where formula is to be entered
    • Type =
    • Click the required cell → its reference appears automatically
  • Example: Adding values of D4 and D5 into D6
    • Step 1: Enter values in D4 and D5
    • Step 2: Double-click D6 and type =
    • Step 3: Click D4 (or type D4)
    • Step 4: Type +
    • Step 5: Click D5 (or type D5)
    • Final Formula: =D4+D5
    • Press Enter → Result appears in D6
    • If values in D4 or D5 change, the result in D6 updates automatically

Functions

  • Functions are predefined formulas in Calc.
  • In formulas, we provide operands and operators, but in functions we only provide arguments.
  • Functions always start with = and arguments are written inside parentheses separated by commas.
  • Examples of SUM function
    • =SUM(3,4) → Adds 3 and 4
    • =SUM(A3,A4) → Adds values of A3 and A4
    • =SUM(3,4,A3,A4) → Adds all values
  • Common Functions
    • PRODUCT(n1; n2…) → Multiply numbers
    • SQRT(n) → Square root
    • POWER(n; p) → n raised to power p
    • LOG(n; b) → Log of n to base b
    • ROUND(n; d) → Round number
    • SIN(n), COS(n), TAN(n) → Trigonometric values
    • RANDBETWEEN(f; l) → Random number between f and l
    • QUOTIENT(a; b) → Integer division
    • ABS(n) → Absolute value
    • AVERAGE(n1; n2…) → Average of numbers
  • Using Range in Functions
    • Example: =SUM(A1:A5) → Adds values from A1 to A5

Absolute and Relative Addressing

  • Relative Addressing
    • Default addressing method
    • Changes automatically when copied
    • Example:
      • A4 contains =A3
      • Copy to B4 → becomes =B3
  • Example with Formula Copy
    • A6 contains =SUM(A1:A5)
    • Copy to B6 → becomes =SUM(B1:B5)
  • Absolute Addressing
    • Address remains fixed when copied
    • Uses $ symbol
    • Example:
      • A4 contains =$A$3
      • Copy to B4 → remains =$A$3
  • Mixed Addressing
    • Combination of relative and absolute
    • Example: $A3, B$5, $A1+B$1
    • Example:
      • A4 contains =A3+$B$3
      • Copy to B4 → becomes =B3+$B$3
