Excel Formulas & Functions for HR Professionals

Think of any HR-related scenario that involves addition, subtraction, division or multiplication of numbers and you’ll find that Excel is often the best tool for the job.

To perform these calculations you'll need to have a good understanding of formulas and functions.

Formulas are the cornerstone of calculations. Functions are built-in formulas that have been programmed to perform a specific calculation. They range from the simple such as SUM and AVERAGE (used to calculate the total and average of numbers in a range of cells) to the powerful IF and VLOOKUP.

Functions aren’t limited to calculating numeric data. They can save you a ton of time when working with text and dates too. For example, you can quickly calculate someone’s age from their date of birth, combine text items from several cells into a single cell or convert a list of lower case text items to capital letters.

Areas Covered

• Creating formulas to perform mathematical calculations
• Copying formulas and the difference between absolute and relative references
• Assigning names to cells and using them in formulas
• Using functions to combine text strings from multiple cells
• Using functions to change text from lowercase to uppercase and vice versa
• Using functions to perform calculations on dates and times
• Using the IF function to automate data entry
• Creating complex functions the easy way
