E ngineering College of San Jose State University Engr.10 2 Engineering Analysis Engineering analysis is a systematic process for analyzing problems that arise in the various fields of engineering. As part of the problem solving process, the data collected has to be processed, analyzed and sometimes displayed graphically by using various mathematical tools available. In many cases, once you have defined and set up the problem properly, numerical methods are required to solve the mathematical equations. Microsoft’s Excel spreadsheet software has many numerical procedures built directly into its program structure.

E ngineering College of San Jose State University Engr Excel Formulas In Excel, a formula expresses dependency of one cell on others in the worksheet. Formula entry for a Cell begins with clicking on the Cell first and then either typing the equal sign “=“ in the Cell itself or clicking on the Formula Bar, and ends with “Enter”. Formula entry is aborted via the “Delete”. A Formula can be edited by first clicking on the Cell and then editing the formula on the active Cell or on the Formula Bar. A Formula may contain functions. The value of x is in cell A15 Example Math syntax: 3 x 2 + e(-0.3 x ) - 10 x =3*(A15^2) + EXP(-0.3*A15) - 10*A15 Excel syntax:

E ngineering College of San Jose State University Engr MAX and MIN Functions =MAX or MIN(X1, X2, X3…) will take the maximum or minimum of the numbers in the parentheses. =MAX or MIN(X1:X4) will take the maximum or minimum of all the numbers from X1 to X4. COUNT Function =COUNT(X1, X2, X3…) will count the number of cells that contain numbers and the arguments in the list that are numbers. =COUNT(A1, A2, A3) will return 2, because of the 4 and 9. =COUNT(A1:A4) will return 3, because of the 4, 9 and 3. =COUNT(A1:A4, -17, “world”) will return 4, because of the 4, 9, 3 and -17. Example

E ngineering College of San Jose State University Engr COUNTIF Function =COUNTIF(range, criteria) will count the number of cells in the range that match the criteria. Note: if the criteria consists of a relational expression, such as “>5”, it must be enclosed in double quotes. =COUNTIF(A1:A4, “>5”) will return 2, because 6 and 9 are greater than 5. =COUNTIF(A1:B4, “=6”) will return 3, because three cells in the range contain 6. Example

E ngineering College of San Jose State University Engr IF Logical Function =IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false) returns the second argument if the test is true, and the third if it is false. =IF(A1>3, “A1 is larger than 3”, 0) would return “A1 is larger than 3”. =IF(A4>3, “A1 is larger than 3”, 0) would return 0. Example

E ngineering College of San Jose State University Engr HLOOKUP Function =HLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, row_index_number, not_exact_match) finds the value in the top row of a table and returns the corresponding column value.  Not_exact_match: Can be either True or False. True means it will find the closest value to the lookup value. False means you only want the value returned if it is an exact match.  Table_array: The table that the function looks through.  Row_index_number: The row number from which the function should return the value.  Lookup_value: The value that the function looks for in the top row

E ngineering College of San Jose State University Engr HLOOKUP Function - Example =HLOOKUP (12, A1:E3, 2, False) means that you are looking in the second row for the value corresponding to the value 12 in top row, and you are looking for an exact match to 12. This would return $ =HLOOKUP (10, A1:E3, 2, False) means that you are looking in the second row for the value corresponding to the value 10, and you are looking for an exact match to 10. Since there is no 10 in top row, it would return #N/A. =HLOOKUP (50, A1:E3, 3, True) means that you are looking in the third row for the value corresponding to the value 50 in top row. Since there is no 50 in the top row, it returns the match corresponding to the largest value in the top row that is less than the lookup value of 52. In this case, it returns 8. If range lookup is TRUE, the values in the first row of table array must be placed in ascending order:...-2, -1, 0, 1, 2,..., A-Z, FALSE, TRUE; otherwise, HLOOKUP may not give the correct value. If range lookup is FALSE, table array does not need to be sorted. Row 1 is not in ascending order
