"Hi, I'm Amar Enhsaihan, and I'm going to show you how to use formulas in Excel. So, if you go to the tool bar menu, you see that right next to the auto sound function, there's a drop down menu. If you click on that, you'll see that some simple formulas are given and there's more functions. For now we'll just use one of the simple ones. Let's say if we'll use sum, let's say if you click on that one it sums this range highlighted. But, we don't want to sum this range, so we'll highlight this portion of the formula, and then select the range that we want to sum, click enter, and here we have a sum of this range. That was a very simple example, now I'm going to show you something more complicated. I'm going to show you another formula, provided by Excel. I'm going to go to drop down menu, on the tool bar menu, see click, what I'm averaging. Click enter and that's the average. That's how you use Excel provided formulas, I'm Amar Enhsaihan, thank you for watching!"
