Use Formulas in Excel – multiply and divide
An Excel tutorial by Peter Kalmstrom
 The
possibility to tell Excel to calculate is a crucial feature
and the most important reason to use it, and in an earlier
demo we have seen
how to create formulas that make Excel count plus and minus.
In the demo below Peter Kalmstrom explains how to make Excel
multiply and divide.
When you use a formula Excel calculates with the values
of the cells you have given in the formula and gives the
result in a separate cell. When the values in the cells
are changed the figure in the result cell will change automatically.
Excel is used for all kinds of calculations, from personal
budgets to very advanced prognoses, and as an example for
his demo Peter has taken the yearly and monthly costs for
owning a home.
Peter shows how to:
- make Excel multiply the values of two cells
- make Excel divide values of two cells
- calculate sums
- use the function wizard
- copy formulas
- change number format
- copy a format
- apply cell styles.
Peter uses Excel 2013 for his demo, but the formulas are
the same for earlier versions of Excel.
