In Excel there is a help tool for functions called the Function Wizard. There are two ways to get the the function wizard. If you look at the Standard Toolbar , the function wizard icon look like the icon on the right. Either way you get there, at this point Excel will list all of the functions available. Upon choosing the function, Excel will prompt you for the information it needs to complete the function.
Mini descriptions are available for each of the cells.
It is often necessary for you to understand the functions in order to be able to figure out these descriptions. Yeah, I know it would have been nice to know this earlier, but it is important for you to understand how the functions work before you start using the Function Wizard. It is faster to type the basic function in from the keyboard as opposed to going through the steps of this tool. Well, that is all of the functions we are going to cover. On to the next phase.
