What we see because of number formatting (results are incorrectly displayed):

Chantel Williams: 83 + 92 + 97 + 90 + 94 = 455
Formula do NOT see number formatting. They work on underlying numbers:
Chantel Williams: 83 + 92 + 96.7 + 89.8 + 93.7 = 455.2
If you add up what you "see" from the façade, you can prove that the number format displays incorrectly.

My rules for building effective and efficient solutions in Excel is to: List goals of project, Enter all the project inputs i
“proper data set” table structure, Create effective and efficient Excel solution, Check work, Document work, State r
4. What is the purpose of using the F2 key on the last cell in a column of formulas?

To verify that all the cell references are pointing to the correct locations.
5. Compare and contrast an aggregate operation and an array operation.

An aggregate operation takes an array of items and makes a operation to deliver a single answer, whereas, an array
answer.
6. What is the difference between a relative and an absolute cell reference?

Relative cell references will move relatively, from the point of view of the formula, throughout the formula copy ac
the formula copy action. The F4 kay can be used to toggle through the different types of cell references.
7. What are the default alignments for the different types of data in an Excel worksheet and why are they import

Default alignment in cells helps to determine what type of data we have in the worksheet and it helps to track dow
