1. In Excel what is the difference between =6+2/2 and =(6+2)/2?

Explanation

The difference between =6+2/2 and =(6+2)/2 in Excel is that they are processed in different orders. In the first equation, the division operation is performed first, resulting in 2. Then, the addition operation is performed, resulting in 6+2=8. Therefore, the answer is 7. In the second equation, the parentheses indicate that the addition operation is performed first, resulting in (6+2)=8. Then, the division operation is performed, resulting in 8/2=4. Therefore, the answer is 4.

6. You can use vLookup to find data in different worksheets but not different workbooks.

Explanation

The statement is incorrect. vLookup can be used to find data not only in different worksheets but also in different workbooks. vLookup is a function in Excel that allows you to search for a value in a specific column of a table and retrieve a corresponding value from another column in the same row. This function can be used across multiple worksheets within the same workbook or even across different workbooks by specifying the workbook and worksheet names in the formula. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

10. What does the use of a "$" in a formula do?

Explanation

The use of a "$" in a formula creates a fixed array for your formula. This means that when the formula is copied or dragged to other cells, the cell references with the "$" will remain fixed, while the other cell references will adjust relative to the new location. This is useful when you want to keep certain references constant in a formula, such as when calculating a running total or referencing a specific cell in a range.

Submit

It also provides quick access to certain features, such as zooming in and out, changing the view mode, or enabling macros.

The formula "Exact" is used to compare two cells and will provide back the result of "True" if the cells match, not "Yes". Therefore, the given statement is incorrect, making the answer "False" the correct one.

Submit
13. Conditional Formatting formats cells when certain conditions are met, what is the problem that you could run into when using Conditional Formatting?

Explanation

When using Conditional Formatting, one problem that could arise is that it overlays other formatting in the same cells. This means that if there are already existing formatting settings applied to a cell, such as font color or cell borders, the Conditional Formatting may override those settings and replace them with its own formatting rules. This can lead to confusion and inconsistency in the appearance of the cells, especially when multiple formatting rules are applied.

You need to break up the names above into two separate columns, what function and sub-function would you use?

Explanation

To break up the names into two separate columns, you would use the "Text to Columns with Delimiters" function. This function allows you to specify a delimiter, such as a comma or space, to separate the text into different columns. In this case, you would use a space as the delimiter to separate the first name and last name into separate columns.
