n.
There are different categories of functions are available in excel.
We can use a function in 3 ways.

2. Select Formulas Tab
3. Select Insert Function Tool
4. Then Function Wizard Will Start
5. Select the Function Category
6. Select the function
7. Enter the values in arguments
8. Click on OK.
2. By Entering the fucntion in the cell
1. Select the cell you want to enter the function
2. Type "=" because every fucntion must begin with =
3. Enter the function name and arguments and Press ENTER
3. By Selecting the fucntion from function categories on Formulas Tab.
