Click on A5 and type in the formula: =SUM(A1:A4)  \nThe (=) sign states that you are inserting a formula.  \nThe (SUM) states that “adding” is part of the formula.  \nThe (A1:A4) states which values you want to add together . Then, press “enter .”  \nYou will now notice that the sum of A1-A4 is displayed in A5 .  \nUsing Excel Function: AVERAGE  \nStep One: Type in the information to the cell to use the Excel function of “AVERAGE”  \nExample:  \nA1: 100  \nA2: 50  \nA3: 50  \nA4: 75  \nLets say you want to find out the average of all the values from A1-A4 . Click on A5 and type in the formula: =AVERAGE(A1:A4)  \nThe (=) sign states that you are inserting a formula.  \nThe (AVERAGE) states that “AVERAGE” is part of the formula.  \nThe (A1:A4) states which values you want to find the average of. Then, press “enter .”  \nYou will now notice that the sum of A1-A4 is displayed in A5 .  \nUsing Excel Function: MAX  \nStep one:  \nFunction of MAX is used to find the maximum value from all the data in a cell. Type in your data into the cell.  \nExample: A1: 32  \nA2: 4  \nA3:19  \nA4:20  \nStep two:  \nIf you like to find out the maximum value between cell A1-A4 . Type in the formula:=MAX(A1:A4) in cell A5  \nNotice now that the maximum value between A1-A4 is listed in A5 with the value of 32.  \nUsing Excel Function: MIN  \nStep one:  \nFunction of MIN is used to find the minimum value from all the data in a cell. Type in your data into the cell.  \nExample: A1: 32  \nA2: 4  \nA3:19  \nA4:20  \nStep two:  \nIf you like to find out the minimum value between cell A1-A4 . Type in the formula:=MIN(A1:A4) in cell A5  \nNotice now that the minimum value between A1-A4 is listed in A5 with a value of 4.  \nUsing Excel Function: COUNT  \nCOUNT is used to count the number of cells that contain numbers and counts numbers within the list of arguments.  \nStep one:  \nType in your data to the cells.  \nExample: A1: 32  \nA2: 4  \nA3:19  \nStep two:  \nIf you like to count the number of cells that contains numbers between cell A1-A4 . Type in the formula: =COUNT(A1:A4) in cell A5  \nNotice now that in cell A5, the value of 4 is displayed. This means that between A1-A4, there are 4 numbers.  \nUsing Excel Function: COUNTIF  \nCOUNTIF is used to count the number of cells within a range that meet the given criteria.  \nStep one:  \nType in your data in the cells.  \nExample:  \nA1: blue circle  \nA2: red circle  \nA3: blue circle  \nA4: orange circle  \nA5: purple circle  \nIf you want to find out how many time you have typed in “blue circle,” type in the formula: =COUNTIF(A1-A5,“blue circle”) in cell A6 .  \nNotice that in cell A6, a value of 2 is displayed. This states that there are “blue circle”listed twice between A1-A5 .  \nUsing Excel Function: SUMIF  \nSUMIF is used to add the cells specified by a given criteria.  \nStep one:  \nType in your data into the cell.  \nExample: A1: 10000  \nA2: 54321  \nA3: 12345  \nA4: 7000  \nA5: 1000  \nA6: 456  \nStep two:  \nLets say you would like to find out the sums ofall the values that are less than 50,000 . Type in the formula: =SUMIF(A1:A6,“\u003C50000”) in cell A7 .  \nNotice that in cell A7, the value of 30,801 is displayed. From cells A1-A6, there is only one value that is greater than 50,000 (A2: 54321) . This means, that the formula added cells A1, A3. A4. A5, and A6 to get 30,801 .  \nA1: 10000  \nA3: 12345  \nA4: 7000  \nA5: 1000  \n +A6: 456  \n30,801 A1: 10000  \nA2: 54321  \nA3: 12345  \nA4: 7000  \nA5: 1000  \nA6: 456","cbCaifEgOmNJRVzi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifEgOmNJRVzi","pdf",3242540,"English","# Prerequisites\n# Typical Use and Related Skills\n# SUM\n# AVERAGE\n# MAX\n# MIN\n# COUNT\n# COUNTIF\n# SUMIF","[{\"question\":\"What does the SUM function do in Excel, and how is it entered?\",\"answer\":\"SUM adds values from a specified range.
