Error checking functions

Errors are happening and this is inevitability! When we know in advance that there is a high likelihood that they can happen, we can use error detection functions. They can discover whether an error has occurred, to return its code, and to show an alternative value instead of a mistake. This can be, for example, a notification about a predefined text about an error or an empty cell, if we want to ignore the error …

Testing a condition

Testing of the conditions is done so that, depending on its fulfillment, we will get different results. These can be some concrete values, but most often, depending on the fulfillment of conditions, we devise different formulas for calculating. It is possible to create multiple conditions (multi-branching) or as a condition to specify an index that determines which expression will be calculated. The following text will detail the logical functions for testing the conditions.

Ranks

One of the first things you learned in Excel were the functions for determining the maximum (MAX) and minimum (MIN) of a range. Also, sorting a range can easily determine the order of its members, from the smallest to the largest or in the opposite direction. But, since it’s not convenient to manually count the members’ ranking, we can use one of the Excel ranking functions.

Statistical functions

Iako Excel ima manje mogućnosti nego specijalizovani softveri za statističku obradu podataka kao što je SPSS, on poseduje mnoštvo statističkih funkcija što ga čini moćnim alatom. Njih možete da iskoristite za analizu poslovnih izveštaja, a imaju primenu i u svim drugim oblastima gde se statistika koristi kao alat za analizu podataka. 

Randomly generated numbers

Randomly generated numbers are most often used to generate data that we want to use to test some reports. Once upon a time, they were obtained by taking over the system time, so they would take a hundred or a thousandth of a second as a random number. Today, probably every program language has functions for generating random numbers, including Excel. For this purpose, the functions RAND and RANDBETWEEN are used …
