RE: what is BODMAS

Hi Robert

BODMAS stands for

Brackets Other Division and Multiplication Addition and Subtraction

It's a way of remembering the order of operation that Excel follows when it evaluates values in a formula.

You can find some good examples here:

Do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Excel tip:

Sorting data stored in rows

Primarily Excel is set up to sort data that is stored in columns rather than rows.

It is possible to get Excel to sort data stored in rows however.

Click in the row you want to sort, or select the cells in the rows you wish to sort.

Go to Data - Sort, then go to the Options button in the bottom left corner of the Sort dialogue box.
