Which ribbon do you click on to include a header or a footer in Excel 2016?

the Insert ribbon

Why is it important to use cell references in functions or formulas in Excel?

it greatly improves the readability, maintenance and reliability of the spreadsheet

How do you view a formula or function in a cell?

double click on the cell to activate Edit Mode

click on the cell and view/modify the formula in the Formula Bar

select the Show Formulas button in the Formulas ribbon

use the shortcut key Ctrl+` (grave accent)

The value that Excel displays for a cell is always the precise value you enter in the spreadsheet or the precise value resulting from a formula in that cell that is stored by the software.

False

When you change the format of how a cell is displayed it doesn't affect the actual value stored by the computer.

True

How would you enter a formula to calculate the result of $25,000 times 2 in a cell such that the formula produces no error and shows $50,000 (assume the cell is formatted to display as currency)?

=25000*2

What function should be used to count the number of items in a list that meet one and only one specified criterion?

COUNTIF( )

When using a specific text value as the criteria type in a COUNTIF( ) function, that text value must be placed in double quotes as the first argument to COUNTIF( ).

False

Excel treats capital and small letters as the same, so specifying "USA" is the same as specifying "usa", "Usa", etc.

True

When using TRUE or FALSE as criteria in a function, they are considered to be boolean values and therefore should not be put in quotes.

True

In the COUNTIFS( ) function, every optional argument is treated as an "OR" scenario, meaning only one criteria must be evaluated to true in order for the item to be counted.

False

In the SUMIF( ) function, if the sum range is the same as the criteria range, then it may be omitted as the last argument.

True

The syntax rules for the criteria in a SUMIF( ) function and AVERAGEIF( ) function are the same as the syntax rules for the COUNTIF( ) function.

True

Which of the following is true for the SUMIF( ) and AVERAGEIF( ) functions?

criteria using a reational expression (>,

mixed or absolute cell referencing often applies

optional arguments are treated as an "AND" scenario meaning every criteria must be evaluated to true in order for the item to be included

the criteria ranges must all be the same array size (i.e., the same number of cells)

Relational operators compare two values to determine if the relational expression is TRUE or FALSE.

True

Which of the following is an example of a relational expression that equates to TRUE or FALSE.

The IF function evaluates a certain condition and returns the value you specify if the condition is TRUE, and another value if the condition is FALSE.

True

Which of the following is true about the IF function in Excel?

you can perform a corresponding math operation in the if_value_true or if_value_false arguments by using arithmetic operators or other Excel functions

only the first argument to the IF function is required

Correct!

all of the listed answers are true

if the value_if_true argument of the IF function is omitted (i.e., a comma only in its place), it will return a zero (0) when the condition is met

if the value_if_false argument of the IF function is omitted, it will return a zero (0) when the condition is met

What is wrong with the following formula if cell C4 contains the logical value of TRUE, cell C1 contains the text string eligible and cell C2 contains the text string ineligible?

since "TRUE" with quotes is a label or text string and not a logical value, it will lead to an incorrect result

It is not possible to nest Boolean logical functions for a logical test in the logical_test argument of the IF function in Excel.

False

Nesting can be used with an IF function to decide between more than two different results. According to the Course Notes, how many levels of nesting can be used with the IF function in Excel?
