AVERAGE(DataArray):
Computes
the average of the cells in the DataArray (range of cells);
non-numeric cells are ignored.
AVERAGEA(DataArray):
Works exactly like the AVERAGE
function but
non-numeric cells are taken as zeros; Logical "TRUE" evaluates as 1.
COUNTIF(DataArray, Criterion):
Counts
the cells, in the data array (range of cells) that meet the criterion [e.g.,
suppose that cells A1:A5 contain the words "maybe","yes","yes","maybe","no",
respectively, & cell B1 contains the formula
COUNTIF(A1:A5,"yes") ; then the value of B1 is 2].
CORREL(ArrayX,ArrayY)
Provides the correlation coefficient between an array of X values and an
array of Y values
FREQUENCY(DataArray, BinsArray):
provides an array of frequencies
from an array of values.
IF(LogicalTest, Value1,
Value2): Depending
on the logical test, the cell takes on Value1 (if test
result is true), Value2 (if false) [e.g., suppose that cell A1
contains the word "maybe" & cell B1 contains the formula
IF(A1="yes", 3, 5) ; then the value of B1 is 5].
INT(value): Computes
value (may be a formula) & rounds to the largest whole
number less than value. (e.g., INT(5.3) is 5; INT(-5.3) is
-6)
MAX(set of numbers/ranges): Assumes the largest number in the set. (e.g.,
MAX(A1:G5, X1, Y5:Z14))
MIN(set of numbers/ranges): Assumes the smallest number in the set. (e.g.,
MIN(A1:G5, X1:Z14))
NORMSDIST(Z): Provides
the value of the cumulative standard normal,
N(0,1), for the given value Z
NORMDIST(X, Mean, StandardDeviation, Cumulative): Provides
the value of the normal, N(mean, std dev), for the
given value X. If you want the cumulative make the 4th parameter
"true"; for the regular normal, make it "false";
NORMINV(Probability,
Mean, StandardDeviation): This
is the inverse of NORMDIST;
it
provides the X-value of the normal, N(mean, std
dev), for the given probability. For ex, the formula
NORMINV(0.8413,10,2) will produce the value 11.999 (converts to Z=1). In
order to generate normally distributed random numbers, use
NORMINV(RAND(),10,2).
NORMSINV(Probability): This
is the inverse of NORMSDIST;
it
provides the Z-value of the cumulative standard normal,
N(0,1), for the given probability. For ex, the formula
NORMSINV(0.8413) will produce the value Z=1. In
order to generate
N(0,1)-distributed random numbers, use
NORMSINV(RAND()).
RAND(): Provides
a random number between 0 and 1 to 5 decimal places
(e.g., 0.74922)
RANDBETWEEN(Value1, Value2):
Provides an integer
random number between Value1
and Value2. This function is part of the
"Add-In" Analysis Package that must be "installed" (Navigate:
Tools
==>Add-ins...==>Analysis ToolPak).
Random Number Generation:
(An Excel Add-in)
(Navigate: Tools menu --> Data Analysis
--> Random Number Generation ) Allows the generation of random numbers
according to several standard distributions such as the normal, Poisson,
binomial, etc.
Regression
(An Excel Add-in) (Navigate: Tools
menu --> Data Analysis --> Regression)
SQRT(Value):
gives the square root of Value.
