Often when you examine a formula you may notice that other symbols appear in it other than the expected cell references eg. =F7+M8
This table explains what the different symbols are and how they may be used. Attending the appropriate level of course will help further. Let us know if you need any further guidance!

Formulas can be much easier to write and work with if you use the function wizard (FX
button) under the ribbon. We use this extensively on all our courses.
