Functions used to calculate the amount of data in a certain range ____
A
Count
B
Large
C
Small
D
Rank
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Use the COUNT function to get the number of entries in a number field that is in a range or array of numbers. For example, you can enter the following formula to count the numbers in the range A1:A20: =COUNT(A1:A20). In this example, if five of the cells in the range contain numbers, the result is 5.

Detailed explanation-2: -You can use a simple formula to sum numbers in a range (a group of cells), but the SUM function is easier to use when you’re working with more than a few numbers. For example =SUM(A2:A6) is less likely to have typing errors than =A2+A3+A4+A5+A6.

Detailed explanation-3: -The COUNTA function counts cells containing any type of information, including error values and empty text (""). For example, if the range contains a formula that returns an empty string, the COUNTA function counts that value. The COUNTA function does not count empty cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Finding the range in such a data set is quite straightforward as well. Excel has the functions to find out the maximum and the minimum value from a range (the MAX and the MIN function).

Detailed explanation-5: -This function returns the total count of numeric values specified. Here we specify multiple values as the parameter and the COUNT function finds the total count of values in it. NOTE: This function works only on numeric data.
