Pressing Ctrl ~ a second time will display your calculations in the default view – as values. Want to see all the calculations you have just created? Press Ctrl ~ (See Figure 3.3.) Ctrl ~ displays your calculations (formulas). You wouldn’t want column N to display an answer that uses the values in column L. These cell references are relative references.īy default, the calculations that Excel copies change their cell references relative to the row or column you copy them to. The calculation in column B reads: =MAX(B5:B24). Note that as you copy the calculation from one column to the next, the cell references change. Now, use the Fill Handle to copy the calculation from Column B through Column N.Select the range of numbers above row 25.You can either keep typing (or double click MAX from the list). Start typing =MAX (See Figure 3.2) Note the explanation you see on the offered list of functions.Open the data file CH3 Data and save the file to your computer as CH3 Gradebook and Parks.
