• Conditional Formatting: Highlight cells or rows based on specific conditions, such as values above a threshold or duplicate entries.

2. Formulas and Functions

• Basic Functions:
  • SUM: Adds a range of numbers.
  • AVERAGE: Calculates the mean of numbers.
  • IF: Executes conditional logic.
• Advanced Functions:
  • VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP: Search for values in a table.
  • INDEX and MATCH: More flexible data lookup.
