This is part of Tuesday Excel Tips series.

You probably already know that the real power of Excel is in using formulas.  But you may not know that Excel comes with a few handy formulas already defined to make them easy for you to use.

If you select the cell below or to the right of a series of number, you can use the quick formula button to get the Sum, Average, Count, Max, or Min of the series.  If you just click the Sigma button it will Sum the numbers.  If you click the little down arrow you can select one of the other functions.

You can also do like the example below and select a data series and then use the quick formula.

Check out the listing of all the Tuesday Excel Tips.
