FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -A formula always starts with an equal sign (=), which can be followed by numbers, math operators (such as a plus or minus sign), and functions, which can really expand the power of a formula. For example, the following formula multiplies 2 by 3 and then adds 5 to that result to come up with the answer, 11.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most commonly used symbol in Excel is the equal (=) sign. Every single formula or function used has to start with equals to let Excel know that a formula is being used. If you wish to reference a cell in a formula, it has to have an equal sign before the cell address.

Detailed explanation-3: -All Excel formulas begin with an equal sign (=). After the equal symbol, you enter either a calculation or function. For example, to add up values in cells B1 through B5, you can either: Type the entire equation: =B1+B2+B3+B4+B5.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Equal to logical operator (=) can be used to compare all data types-numbers, dates, text values, Booleans, as well as the results returned by other Excel formulas. For example: =A1=B1. Returns TRUE if the values in cells A1 and B1 are the same, FALSE otherwise. =A1="oranges"

Detailed explanation-5: -Simple formulas always start with an equal sign (=), followed by constants that are numeric values and calculation operators such as plus (+), minus (-), asterisk(*), or forward slash (/) signs.
