Excel has a very handy formula assistance tool that walks you step-by-step through the process of inserting formulas. Most of us are capable of building simple calculations through clicking the appropriate cells and selecting the ranges that we want to include. Some formulas involve several different elements (also called arguments), and they can be a bit more challenging.
