Appendix A
Worksheet Function Reference

This appendix contains a complete list of Excel worksheet functions. The functions are arranged alphabetically by the categories displayed in the Insert Function dialog box.

For more information about a particular function, including its arguments, select the function in the Insert Function dialog box and then click Help on This Function.

For newer functions, the Excel version in which they first appeared is indicated. Knowing when a function first became available is useful if you share your workbooks with people who use an earlier version of Excel.
