What is Bedmas?
RE: Excel Introduction
Hello Doreen
Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.
BEDMAS is an acroynm designed to help you remember the order in which Excel will work out the result of a formula for you, if the formula contains more than one kind of operator.
So:
anything in Brackets will be done first; followed by
any Exponents; then
any Division or Multiplication; and finally
any Addition or Subtraction
I hope this helps.

RE: Excel Introduction
Hi Doreen
BEDMAS is a way to remember the Hierarchy Of Calculation in Maths. Since all formulas in Excel must follow this system we need to remember the order in which calculations are conducted.
The letters stand for:
Brackets
Exponent
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction
This is the order of operations of any formula.
Hope this helps
Carlos
