This video aims to demonstrate how to use structured references in Excel to perform various calculations, including totals, averages, and revenue calculations, while utilizing filtering and automatic formatting features.

Chapitres :

Introduction to Structured References
In this section, we explore the concept of structured references in Excel. Structured references allow users to refer to table columns by their names rather than traditional cell references, making formulas easier to read and manage.
Calculating Totals and Averages
To calculate totals, check the 'Total Row' box, which adds a total row at the bottom of the table. For example, when calculating the average sale price, click on the total cell under the 'Sale Price' column, select 'Average' from the dropdown list, and Excel will automatically compute the average price.
Counting Entries in a Column
To find out how many stores are listed under the 'Department Store' column, click on the total cell and select 'Count' from the dropdown list. Excel will display the total number of entries, showcasing its ability to manage data efficiently.
Using Filters to Recalculate Data
Excel provides filter buttons under the 'Format as Table' function. By clicking the filter button under the 'Department Store' column, you can uncheck the 'Select All' box, choose specific options, and press 'OK'. Excel will automatically recalculate the data, even if some values are hidden by the filter.
Calculating Sales Revenue Excluding Tax
To calculate sales revenue excluding tax, enter a title in cell J1 and press 'Enter' to format the column. Start the formula with an equal sign, click on cell H2, and use the structured reference for 'Sale Price'. Multiply it by the structured reference for 'Quantity' and press 'Enter'. Excel will copy the formula down the column automatically.
Calculating Sales Revenue Including Tax
For sales revenue including tax, enter a title in cell K1 and press 'Enter'. Begin the formula with an equal sign, click on cell J2 to reference the sales revenue excluding tax, and complete the formula. Press 'Enter' to have Excel copy the formula down the column.
Adding Rows to the Table
To add additional rows to the table, click on the last cell of the table and press the 'Tab' key. This action creates a new row where you can input reference information, sales price, and quantity. Once you press 'OK', Excel will automatically calculate the average sale price, quantities, and both sales revenues.
Conclusion
This video illustrates the power of structured references in Excel for performing various calculations efficiently. By utilizing features like automatic formatting, filtering, and formula copying, users can save time and enhance their data management capabilities.
