RE: formulas - Calculation order (BODMAS)

Dear Maggie

Thank you for attending Excel Intermediate course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

As there are so many formulae and functions the question you asked is not very straightforward. There is however a structure that you have to follow in performing any formulae.

First remember that any formulae starts with an = sign.

Second you can click on the cell that you want to include in the formula.

Use the operator (these are PLUS, MINUS, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, Brackets, etc

Excel tip:

Quickly copy a formula across sheets

Suppose you have a formula in cell Sheet1!B2, say =A1*5%, that you wish to copy to cell B2 on Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4. Instead of using copy and paste, try this: (1) Select Sheet1!B2. (2) Group Sheet1 with the worksheets Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4 by holding down Ctrl and clicking on the tabs of the sheets to group them. (3) Press the F2 key, then immediately press Enter to copy the formula in Sheet1!B2 across the grouped sheets.

Remember to ungroup the sheets afterwards! Right-click on any tab and choose Ungroup Sheets to do that.
