If you're using Excel 2007, you'll find these functions in the Statistical or Math & Trig categories on the Formulas tab. For more information about the new functions, see Statistical functions (reference) and Math and trigonometry functions (reference). You can still use them for compatibility with earlier versions of Excel, but if backward compatibility isn't required, you should start using the new functions instead. In Excel 2010 or later, these functions were replaced with new functions that provide improved accuracy and have names that better reflect their usage. Use this function to return a value or the reference to a value from within a table or range. They return the number of the starting position of the first text string from the first character of the second text string. Use this function to return the number of days between two dates.įIND and FINDB locate one text string within a second text string. Use the DATEDIF function to calculate the number of days, months, or years between two dates. For example, you might have a worksheet that contains dates in a format that Excel does not recognize, such as YYYYMMDD. This function is most useful in situations where the year, month, and day are supplied by formulas or cell references.

Use this function to return the sequential serial number that represents a particular date. For example, if value1 through value7 are the days of the week, CHOOSE returns one of the days when a number between 1 and 7 is used as index_num. Use this function to select one of up to 254 values based on the index number.
For example, if the range A1:A3 contains the values 5, 7, and 38, then the formula =MATCH(7,A1:A3,0) returns the number 2, because 7 is the second item in the range. Use this function to search for an item in a range of cells, and then return the relative position of that item in the range. Check out this video about using VLOOKUP. For example, look up an employee's last name by her employee number, or find her phone number by looking up her last name (just like a telephone book). Use this function when you need to find things in a table or a range by row. Use this function when you need to look in a single row or column and find a value from the same position in a second row or column.
Here's a video about using the IF function. Use this function to return one value if a condition is true and another value if it's false. Use this function to add the values in cells. Here are the 10 functions that people read about most.
