The formula must only contain cell addresses.
Each correct formula will begin with =, +, or -.
The basic mathematical operators are +, -, * and /
Addition: To add the values in cells A1 and B4, the formula is =A1+B4
Subtraction: To subtract the value in cell B4 from the value in cell A1, the formula is =A1-B4
Multiplication: To multiply the values in cells A1 and B4, the formula is =A1*B4
Division: To divide the value in cell A1 by the value in cell B4, the formula is =A1/B4
Using the SLN function
The SLN function has the following syntax: =SLN(COST,SALVAGE,LIFE)
Each variable may be either a value or a formula that returns a value.
Using absolute addresses
Once a formula is created, you will often want to copy the formula to other columns and rows. It's important to understand t
"relative addresses" unless you indicate otherwise by creating an "absolute address". For example, if you are calculating the
boxes of cereal at a cost of $3.95 per box, the formula in cell B28 is =B26*B27. Although we read cell B28 as "Multiply 2 boxe
actually calculating the value in cell B28 as "Multiply the value in the cell in the same column (column B) 2 rows above (row 2

Price per box $3.95 $3.95 $3.95 $3.95
Total cost $7.90 $23.70 $43.45 $59.25
This works just fine to calculate the cost of 2 boxes, but if we copy the formula in cell B28 to C28, Excel will assume relative re
formula in cell C28 will become =C26*C27. Since Cell C27 is blank, the formula will return a value of $0 (which is an excellent
cereal, but it isn't accurate!) Adding a $ sign before the column or row reference locks the formula to a specific location.
If we modify the formula in cell B28 to =B26*$B$27 before we copy the formula, Excel will not change the row or the column
variable. When the formula is copied to columns C through E, the formulas become:
Cell C28 =C26*$B$27
Cell D28 =D26*$B$27
Cell E28 =E26*$B$27
Sometimes, you will want the column to stay fixed, but allow the row to remain relative when it's copied. If so, add a dollar s
