Chapter 12: Useful Statistical and Mathematical Functions
Office 2021 includes a range of mathematical and statistical functions, some of which are considered important foundational skills to build more complex formulas.
We will build on prior skills to work with Math & Trig and Statistical functions using Excel 2021 and introduce some additional functions to the mix. We will explore how to generate random numbers using RANDBETWEEN
and RAND
functions. In addition, we will work through examples of PRODUCT
functions, including the SUMPRODUCT
, MROUND
, FLOOR
, TRUNC
, AGGREGATE
, and CONVERT
functions.
In addition, we will investigate the MEDIAN
, COUNTBLANK
, and AVERAGEIFS
statistical functions in this chapter, from which you can experiment and apply to existing or new scenarios when working with workbook data.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
- Exploring mathematical functions
- Exploring statistical functions
