2. Functions Using Multiple Arguments

@AVG

Gives the average value of the arguments. The sum of the arguments is
calculated, then that sum is divided by the total number of arguments.

@AVG(1,2,3,4) gives {1+2+3+4)/4 = 2.5
@AVG(175) gives 175/1 = 175

©COUNT

Gives the number of non-blank cells. This function is an exception to the
general rules in that: 1) the arguments MUST be cell addresses, and 2) the

cell referred to may contain alphanumeric or numeric data.

@COUNT(A1,A2,A3,A4) gives 3 if A1 contains 5 (numeric), A2 contains

your name (alphanumeric), A3 contains ERROR (this is not a blank cell),

and A4 is empty.

©MAX

Gives the greatest argument (maximum). Remember that a positive
argument is always greater than a negative one.

@MAX(1,234) gives 234

@MAX(1,-99999) gives 1

©MIN

Gives the smallest argument (minimum). Remember that a negative
argument is always smaller than a positive one.

©MIN(1,234) gives 1

@ MIN(-1,99999)

gives

-1

©SUM

Gives the sum of the arguments. This function is very useful in shortening
long sums when the arguments belong to a range.

@SUM( 1,2,3,4,5) gives 15

@SUM(A1 ,A2,A3,B1 ,B2,B3) is equivalent to @SUM(A1 ..B3)

©TSUM

Gives the total sum of a range of cells, and also the sum of each row and

column of tho range if they contain data. This function is an exception to the

general rules in that: 1) the argument MUST be a range, and 2) results are
displayed not only in the selected cell (total sum), but also in the column to
the right and in the row below the range. You must therefore be sure that the

column to the right and the row below the range is empty. See below for an
example.
