Statistical functions
Rank function-syntax
The Microsoft Excel RANK function
returns the rank of a number within a set
of numbers.
RANK( number, array, [order] )
Number- The number to find the rank for.
array -A range or array of numbers to
use for ranking purposes.
order -Optional. It specifies how to rank
the numbers.
Example
Example
Large function
The Microsoft Excel LARGE function
returns the nth largest value from a
set of values.
Syntax-LARGE( array, nth_position )
array A range or array from which you
want to return the nth largest value.
nth_position The position from the
largest to return.
Example
Example
=LARGE(A1:A5, 1) Result: 32
=LARGE(A1:A5, 2) Result: 8
=LARGE(A1:A5, 3) Result: 5.7
=LARGE(A1:A5, 4) Result: 4
=LARGE(A1:A5, 5) Result: -2.3
Note
If nth_position is larger than the number of
values in array, the LARGE function will return
the #NUM! error.
If array is empty, the LARGE function will return
the #NUM! error.
count
Syntax-COUNT( argument1,
[argument2, ... argument_n] )
argument1, argument2, ...
argument_n Either ranges of cells or
values. There can be up to 30
arguments.
Example
Example
=COUNT(A1:A6) Result: 3
=COUNT(A1:A6, 129) Result: 4
Countif
The Microsoft Excel COUNTIF function
counts the number of cells in a
range, that meets a given criteria.
Syntax-COUNTIF( range, criteria )
range The range of cells that you
want to count based on the criteria.
criteria determine which cells to
count.
Example
Example
=COUNTIF(A2:A7, D2) Result: 1
=COUNTIF(A:A, D2) Result: 1
=COUNTIF(A2:A7, ">=2001") Result:
4
Average function
The Microsoft Excel AVERAGE function
returns the average (arithmetic
mean) of the numbers provided.
Syntax-AVERAGE( number1, [number2], ...
[number_n] )
number1, number2, ... number_n -Numeric
values that can be numbers, named ranges
, arrays, or references to numbers. There
can be up to 30 values entered.
Example
Example
=AVERAGE(B2, B3) Result: 8.85
=AVERAGE(B3, B5, 45) Result: 19.2
=AVERAGE(B2:B6) Result: 46.24
Sumif
The SUMIF function is a worksheet function that adds all
numbers in a range of cells based on one criteria (for
example, is equal to 2000).
Example
Example
=SUMIF(A2:A6, D2, C2:C6) Result: 218.6
'Criteria is the value in cell D2
=SUMIF(A:A, D2, C:C) Result: 218.6
'Criteria applies to all of column A (ie:
A:A)
=SUMIF(A2:A6, 2003, C2:C6) Result: 7.2
'Criteria is the number 2003
=SUMIF(A2:A6, ">=2001", C2:C6) Result:
12.6 'Criteria is greater than or equal to
2001 =SUMIF(C2:C6, "<100") Result:
31.2 'Adds values in C2:C6 that are less
than 100 (3rd parameter is omitted)
Example 2. Counting
numbers with multiple
criteria (AND logic)
Syntax-=COUNTIFS(B2:B11,">0",
D2:D11,">0")
Example-3-COUNTIFS for
text values
=COUNTIFS(B2:B7,"=P",C2:C7,"=P",D2:D7,"=P",E2:
E7,"=P")
Example-4
=COUNTIFS(B3:E3,"=P")
=COUNTIF(B3:E3,"=P")
Note
Note
If the year is between 0 and 1899, the
year value is added to 1900 to determine
the year.
If the year is between 1900 and 9999, the
DATE function uses the year value as the
year.
If the year is greater than 9999, the DATE
function will return the #NUM! error.

=DATE(A1,A2,A3) Result: 'Aug 31,
2012' =DATE(2012,8,31) Result: 'Aug
