Define: Absolute Refrence

(Address)
A cell Refrence that stays the same no matter where you copy a formula. The cell refrence contains the $ symbol before the column letter AND row number, such as $A$1.

Define: Argument
Definition:
In Excel, arguments are used in functions. They are the part of the function enclosed in round brackets (parentheses) following the function’s name. Arguments supply the data for the function to use in its calculations. In Excel, arguments are most likely to be cell references.


Example:

=SUM(A1:A6)
In this example, the argument for the SUM function is the range (A1:A6).

Define COUNTIF Function
Spreadsheets contain millions of cells ready to be filled with your data. The problem is who would want to fill in all those cells and have to keep track of them. Fortunately there are functions that help users identify how many cells contain specific data in the spreadsheet cells of Excel. COUNTIF is the best function for this and it only requires two elements to work; range and criteria.

Function Rules:

= COUNTIF(range,criteria)

range = the area you’re searching. This can be one cell or many cells.

criteria = the number, word or characters you are looking for.
Using the attached image. Use the COUNTIF formula to count the blank spaces, the number of times the word "Spreadsheet" appears, cells that equal 1000 and cells that are greater than 999.
If you include a mathematical operator =<> you must surround the criteria with "".

=COUNTIF(range,”>999")

Define: Field Names
Definition:
In database terminology, a record holds all the information or data about one specific object that has been entered into the database.

Each individual element of information in the record - such as a telephone number or hair color - is referred to as a field.

To ensure that data is entered in the same order for each record, headings are added to the database. These headings are referred to as field names.
All of the following statements regarding fields are true except.

A) Field names must be entered in the first row of the list
B) Field names will change from record to record
C) Field names must be unique
D) Fields will be in the same order in every record.
B) Field names will change from record to record

--- Which is false ---

Side note:

Columns are Fields

Note: For help on these steps, refer to the image above.


While rows in an Excel database are referred to as records, the columns are known as fields. Each column needs a heading to identify the data it contains. These headings are called field names.


•Field names are used to ensure that the data for each record is entered in the same sequence.


•Make sure that all the data in a column is entered using the same format. If you start entering numbers as digits (such as 10 or 20) keep it up. Don't change part way through and begin entering numbers as words (such as ten or twenty). Be consistent.


•Leave no blank columns in the table.

Define: IF formula
What the IF function does
The IF function is one of Excel’s most useful and most used functions. What it does, basically, is test to see whether a certain condition is true or false. If the condition is true, the function will do one thing, if the condition is false, the function will do something else.

The basic form or syntax of the function is:

=IF(logic test, value if true, value if false)

The logic test is always a comparison between two values. Comparison operators are used, for example, to see if the first value is greater than or less than the second, or equal to it. The "value if true" and "value if false" parts of the function are known as arguments. They tell the function what to do, depending on the outcome of the logic test.
A look at nested IF
=IF(A5<29701,A5*15%,IF(A5<71950,A5*25%,A5*28%))

The logic test of the Nested IF function, checks to see if a employee’s income is greater than or equal to $29,701, but less than $71,950. If it is, the deduction rate is 25%. If the income is greater than or equal to $71,950, the deduction rate is 28%. Additional rate changes could be added another nested IF functions inside the existing function.

Note: there is no comma separator in 29,701 or 71,950 in the above example. This is because the IF function uses the comma to separate the three sections of the IF function contained within the round brackets.

If you use a comma as a separator in numbers greater than a thousand, Excel will give you an error message saying you have too many arguments in your function.
