BEDMAS

= Excels Mathematical Operations =

__Guys here is a helpful insights on BEDMAS and its importance on Excel.__

Creating formulas in Microsoft Excel is not that hard. Just combine the cell references of your data with the correct operation of math.The operations of math used in Excel formulas are similar to the ones used in math class. Subtraction - minus sign ( **-** )


 * 1) Addition - plus sign ( **+** )
 * 2) Division - forward slash ( **/** )
 * 3) Multiplication - asterisk (***** )
 * 4) Exponentiation - caret (**^** )

If many operators are used in a formula, you can do a specific order that Excel will follow to perform these mathematical operations. This order of operations can be changed by adding brackets to the equation. A simple way to remember the order of operations is to use the acronym:

BEDMAS:
= ** The way the order of operations works ** = Any operation or operations contained in brackets will be carried out first followed by any exponents. Then, Excel considers division or multiplication operations to be of equal importance, and send out these operations in the order they occur left to right in the equation. The same goes for addition and subtraction. They are considered equal in the order of operations. Which ever one appears first in an equation is the operation carried out first. __I hope it was useful Guys and at the same time fun.__
