Symbols Used in Excel for Arithmetic Operators Operator SymbolOperation +Addition -Subtraction (also negation) *Multiplication /Division %Percent ^Exponentiation

with Microsoft ® Excel 2010© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall31 Construct Formulas for Mathematical Operations Copying formulas in Excel –A formula copied in Excel changes cell references relative to the cell with the formula. Example: Copying =C4+D4 from cell E4 to cell E5 will result in =C5+D5 –To force Excel to keep a cell reference use absolute addressing to fix the formula reference by inserting a dollar sign ($) before the row and/or column.
