Explanation:
Excel will generally be able to handle any properly-input mathematical formula, if valid operators are used. Commonly used operators include "+" (addition), "-" (subtraction), "*" (multiplication) and "/" (division). (Microsoft has a complete list of valid operators to be used in Excel formulas on the Office website). Here are some examples of formulas using common operators Description
=C2-B2 Subtracts contents of B2 from contents of C2
=C2/B2 Divides contents of C2 by contents of B2
=(B2+C2+D2)/3 Adds contents of B2, C2, and D2 and divides result by 3
Excel also has built-in functions that can do a lot of useful calculations. These are most easily accessed by hitting the Insert Function button, which is represented by the “fx” symbol next to the formula bar. For example, instead of entering the formula shown above, the same result could have been achieved using the built-in "PRODUCT" function by clicking in cell D2 and hitting the Insert Formula button. This would give a dialog box like the one shown, below.

C3:F3 is an example of a row range.
Explanation
C3:F3 is a row range of cells which means starting cell is C3 and the ending cell is F5 of that range.
In this range of cells total of 4 cells are ranged which are C3, D3, E3, and F3.
In row range, row number remains unchanged and column name changes.
Example
A1:E1
A1:E1 is a row range of cells which means starting cell is A1 and the ending cell is E1 of that range.
In this range of cells total of 5 cells are ranged which are A1, B1, C1, D1, and E1.
In column range, row number changes and column name remains unchanged.
Example
A1:A5
A1:A5 is a column range of cells which means starting cell is A1 and the ending cell is A5 of that range.
In this range of cells total of 5 cells are ranged which are A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5.
Extra Information
In Excel, columns are named as A, B, C, D, E, F, and so on.
In Excel, rows are named as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on.
Cells in an Excel sheet are made with intersections of rows and columns.
Cell Address is used to identify a cell on an Excel Sheet and Cell Address comprises of a letter and a number. The letter shows the column and the number shows the row.
Example
A1
In this, it is the cell that is present in column A and row 1.
D6
In this, it is the cell that is present in column D and row 6.
Function is a predefined formula that allows users to perform mathematical, statistical, and logical operations.
There are various functions in Microsoft Excel some of them are:
1. SUM
2. AVERAGE
3. COUNT
4. IF
5. MAX
6. MIN
Format of writing a function in a cell of Excel Spreadsheet
1. Name of Function (Range of Cells i.e. Starting Cell : Ending Cell)
Example
=AVERAGE(A1:A3)
2. Name of Function (Each Cell Address separated with a comma(,))
Example
=AVERAGE(A1,A2,A3)
Example
Suppose you want to add values present in cells from A1 to A5 and display the sum in A6.
First, write the values in A1 to A5 and then click on A6 cell and type=SUM(A1:A5)
After that press "Enter"
In the A6 cell, you will get the sum of values present in cells from A1 to A5.
In case you have typed the wrong formula or want to modify it then you can click on the cell where you have written the formula and there will be a Formula Bar available above the worksheet area which will show the formula that you have written in the cell and you can edit it.
