For example, =SUM(J1:J2), computes the total of cell J1 and J3. Abuja Data School’s Microsoft Excel training in Abuja, Nigeria will cover this topic in depth.

- IF function – to filter data by a set of rules, the IF function is frequently employed. The IF formula is such that it allows the use of formulae and functions.
- TRIM function – assures that your routines do not throw errors as a result of disorderly spaces by removing all empty spaces. It only works on a single cell and as such generates duplicate data.
- MIN function – In a set of values, MIN function is used to find the least values in a range.
- MAX function – Unlike the MIN function, this is used to determine the highest value in a range.
