Formulas allow you to calculate values based on other cells and data in your spreadsheet. They use operators and functions to combine information and arrive at a specific result.
Example:
Let's say you have a list of students' names and their ages. You want to calculate the average age of the students. You can use a formula like:
excel
=AVERAGE(A2:A10)
Charts are visual representations of data that help you analyze and understand it better. There are various types of charts, each showing different aspects of your data.
Examples:
A scatter plot shows the relationship between two variables.
A bar chart shows the difference between various categories.
A pie chart shows the proportion of each category in a group.
Cell formatting allows you to customize the appearance of your cells, including colors, fonts, borders, and alignment. This makes your spreadsheet easier to read and understand.

Use the "FORMULA" function to create complex formulas.
Use the "DATA" tab to analyze and manipulate data.
