Calling the contents of one cell into the other

Using the names of other cells in a cell means that you want the contents of those cells whose names you are using.

This is known as Cell References

There are three types of cell references

Note: This is very useful when you are copying the contents ( with the name of other cell/s) of a cell to other cell


Top

Using Functions and the three types of References

Tap on the cell A1

Enter the value 15

Tap on the cell A2

Enter the value 10

Tap on the cell A3

Enter the value of 5

Tap on cell C4

Tap on the Function Selector key ( fx ) on the non-qwerty keyboard

Select the function SUM() at the end of the list that appears ( )

Select the cells from A1 to A3 ( )

Tap on some other cell and the result of the sum of the values in cell A1, A2 and A3 are shown in cell C4

Change one of the values, tap on the Next key and the result in cell C4 will change too

 

Relative Reference

Note: A1:A3 is known as relative reference, meaning the three cells before this cell in row number and in the second column on the left

Selects the cells A1 to A3

Tap on Menu Bar and select Copy from the Edit menu

Selects the cells B2 to B4

Tap on Menu Bar and select Paste from the Edit menu

Similarly Copy cell C4

Paste it in the cell D5

Note: The formula will automatically convert to =SUM(B2:B4)

The result in cell D5 will be 10

value for formula 1 (15)
     
value for formula 1 (10)
value for formula 2 (2)
   
value for formula 1 (5)
value for formula 2 (4)
   
value for formula 2 (6)
Formula 1 (30)
 
   
Formula 2 (12)

 

Absolute Reference

Tap on cell C4

Open the qwerty keyboard

Tap on the SMBL key

In the Data entry field add a $ mark before both As and 1 and 3 ( )

Tap on cell C4 once again

Copy the cell

Tap the cell D5

Paste altered formula in it

The result in cell D5 will be 30

Note: With absolute references the formula does not changes as it is copied to some other cell

 

Mixed Reference

Delete the $ mark from A3 in the formula in cell C4( )

Copy and paste the formula in cell D5

The result in cell D5 will be 42

Note: A1 in the formula was absolute so that did not change but since the formula is in D5, the non absolute argument A3 changed to the name of the cell that was one row number less than D5 and was in second column to the left (B4). This formula being in cell D5, summed up all the values from A1 to B4. Cell A4 and cell B1 had no values

 

Tap on cell B1

Enter the value 3

The result in cell D5 will change from 42 to 45

 

Some Examples

=1+2-3 0
=(1+2)*(3+4) 21
=(A1+B5)*2 Result of expression using contents of cells A1 and B5
=$A$1+B2 Contents of cell A1 + Contents of cell B2
=2^3 8 (Raises left value to power specified by right value.)

Top

List Of Functions

Tap on the Function Selector key ( fx ) on the non-qwerty keyboard ( )

=ABS(A1) Absolute value of value in A1
=AVERAGE(A1:D5) Average of values in cells A1 through D5
=COUNT(A1:D5) Number of values in cells A1 through D5
=COUNTA(A1:A7) Number of non blank cells in cells A1 through A7
=EVEN(3) 4 (Rounds up to the nearest even number.)
=INT(8.9) 8 (Rounds down to the nearest integer.)
=MAX(A1:D5) Greatest value of those in cells A1 through D5
=MIN(A1:D5) Least value of those in cells A1 through D5
=MOD(3,2) 1 (Integer result when left value is divided by right value.)
=ODD(2) 3 (Rounds up to the nearest odd number.)
=ROUND(2.15,1) 2.2 (Rounds left value to decimal places specified by right value.)
