Excel Formulas & Their Usage
Here's a handy list of important Excel formulas along with their uses, especially useful for banking
and office tasks like tracking transactions, managing customer data, and reporting.
Common Excel Formulas & Their Uses:
=SUM(A1:A5) -> Adds values in a range - e.g., total deposits.
=AVERAGE(B1:B5) -> Calculates average - e.g., average monthly balance.
=IF(A1>1000, "High", "Low") -> Logic test - e.g., flag large transactions.
=COUNT(A1:A10) -> Counts numeric cells - e.g., number of transactions.
=COUNTA(A1:A10) -> Counts non-empty cells - e.g., customer entries.
=VLOOKUP(101, A2:C10, 2, FALSE) -> Finds data in a table - e.g., search customer name.
=HLOOKUP("Jan", A1:F2, 2, FALSE) -> Looks across a row - e.g., find January sales.
=NOW() -> Current date & time - e.g., timestamp in forms.
=TODAY() -> Current date only - e.g., for reports.
=ROUND(A1, 2) -> Rounds to decimals - e.g., interest rates.
=MAX(A1:A5) -> Finds highest value - e.g., highest deposit.
=MIN(A1:A5) -> Finds lowest value - e.g., smallest withdrawal.
=CONCAT(A1, " ", B1) -> Joins text - e.g., combine first and last name.
=LEN(A1) -> Counts characters - e.g., for ID formatting.
=LEFT(A1, 5) -> Extracts first characters - e.g., account number prefix.
=RIGHT(A1, 4) -> Last characters - e.g., CNIC last digits.
=TRIM(A1) -> Removes extra spaces - e.g., clean data.
=PROPER(A1) -> Capitalizes first letters - e.g., proper names.
