It's impossible to list every single formula in Microsoft Excel.

There are hundreds,


categorized into various functions like financial, logical, text, date/time,
lookup/reference, math/trig, statistical, engineering, and more.
However, I can provide you with a categorized view of some of the most
commonly used and essential ones:
Basic Math & Statistical
●​ SUM: Adds a range of numbers. =SUM(A1:A10)
●​ AVERAGE: Calculates the average of a range. =AVERAGE(B1:B5)
●​ MIN: Finds the minimum value in a range. =MIN(C2:C8)
●​ MAX: Finds the maximum value in a range. =MAX(D3:D9)
●​ COUNT: Counts the number of cells containing numbers. =COUNT(E1:E5)
●​ MEDIAN: Finds the median value in a range. =MEDIAN(A1:A10)
●​ MODE: Finds the most frequent value in a range. =MODE(A1:A10)
●​ STDEV: Calculates the standard deviation of a range. =STDEV(A1:A10)
Logical & Conditional
●​ IF: Performs a logical test and returns different results based on the
outcome. =IF(A1>10, "Yes", "No")
●​ AND: Returns TRUE if all conditions are true. =AND(A1>5, B1<10)
●​ OR: Returns TRUE if at least one condition is true. =OR(A1>5, B1<10)
●​ NOT: Reverses the logical value of an argument. =NOT(A1>5)
●​ IFS: Checks multiple conditions and returns a value corresponding to the
first TRUE condition. =IFS(A1>10,"Good",A1>5,"OK",A1<=5,"Bad")
Text
●​ CONCATENATE (or CONCAT): Joins multiple text strings into one.
=CONCATENATE("Hello", " ", "World") or =CONCAT(A1, " ", B1)
●​ LEFT: Extracts a specified number of characters from the left of a text
string. =LEFT(A1, 3)
●​ RIGHT: Extracts a specified number of characters from the right of a text
string. =RIGHT(A1, 4)
●​ MID: Extracts characters from the middle of a text string. =MID(A1, 3, 2)
●​ LEN: Returns the length of a text string. =LEN(A1)
●​ TRIM: Removes extra spaces from a text string. =TRIM(A1)
●​ UPPER: Converts text to uppercase. =UPPER(A1)
●​ LOWER: Converts text to lowercase. =LOWER(A1)
●​ PROPER: Capitalizes the first letter of each word in a text string.
=PROPER(A1)
Date & Time
●​ TODAY: Returns the current date. =TODAY()
●​ NOW: Returns the current date and time. =NOW()
●​ DAY: Extracts the day from a date. =DAY(A1)
●​ MONTH: Extracts the month from a date. =MONTH(A1)
●​ YEAR: Extracts the year from a date. =YEAR(A1)
●​ WEEKDAY: Returns the day of the week for a date. =WEEKDAY(A1)
●​ DATEDIF: Calculates the difference between two dates. =DATEDIF(A1, A2,
"D") (for difference in days)
Lookup & Reference
●​ VLOOKUP: Searches for a value in the first column of a range and returns
a value in the same row from a specified column. =VLOOKUP(A1, B1:C10,
2, FALSE)
●​ HLOOKUP: Searches for a value in the first row of a range and returns a
value in the same column from a specified row. =HLOOKUP(A1, B1:C10, 2,
FALSE)
●​ INDEX: Returns a value from a range based on its row and column number.
=INDEX(A1:C10, 2, 3)
●​ MATCH: Returns the position of a value in a range. =MATCH(A1, B1:B10,
0)
●​ XLOOKUP: A more flexible and modern lookup function. =XLOOKUP(A1,
B1:B10, C1:C10)
Financial
●​ PMT: Calculates the payment for a loan based on constant payments and a
constant interest rate. =PMT(rate, nper, pv)
●​ PV: Calculates the present value of an investment. =PV(rate, nper, pmt)
●​ FV: Calculates the future value of an investment. =FV(rate, nper, pmt)
●​ IRR: Calculates the internal rate of return for a series of cash flows.
=IRR(values)
●​ NPV: Calculates the net present value of an investment. =NPV(rate, values)

find more information and a complete list in the Excel Help function within the
application or on the Microsoft Support website.
