Understand and use cell references
One of the key things you’ll calculate in Excel are values in cells, the boxes you see in the grid of an Excel worksheet. Each cell is identified by its reference—the column letter and row number that intersect at the cell's location. For example, a cell in column D and row 5 is cell D5. When you use cell references in a formula, Excel calculates the answer automatically using the numbers in the referenced cells.

Use AutoFill and Flash Fill
Sometimes you need to enter a lot of repetitive information in Excel, such as dates, and it can be really tedious. But the AutoFill feature can help. Or say you have information in Excel that isn’t formatted the way you need it to be, and going through the entire list manually to correct it is daunting. In this case, Flash Fill (a new feature in Excel 2013) can do the work for you. AutoFill and Flash Fill are tremendous time savers, and in this course, we’ll cover them in more detail.

Add or subtract time
You can add and subtract time in Excel almost like you subtract other types of numbers. For example, you might do this if you want to know how long it took to complete a project’s tasks. The one exception is that Excel doesn't support a negative number formatted as time.

Average a group of numbers
When you need to find an average, you can click a button, or use a function in a formula. The AutoSum button lets you find the average in a column or row of numbers where there are no blank cells. Use the AVERAGE or the AVERAGEIF functions to find the average of numbers that aren’t in a contiguous row or column. And use the SUMPRODUCT and the SUM functions to find a weighted average, which depends on the weight that’s applied to the values.

Insert headers and footers
You can add headers to the top and footers to the bottom of a worksheet. When you print the worksheet, the headers and footers also print. For example, you might create a header with the file path and a footer with page numbers. Headers and footers display only in Page Layout view and on printed pages.
