PMT function - ✔calculates the periodic payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate and
fixed term
=PMT(rate,nper,pv)
Interest rate (divided by 12 months), the number of payments to be made to pay off the
loan, the original loan amount.
HLOOKUP function - ✔A lookup function that searches horizontally across the top row
of the lookup table and retrieves the value in the column you specify.
=HLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, range_lookup)
Lookup information, the location of the reference table, the column in the table that
contains the information that is returned, true if an approximate match is OK and FALSE
if an approximate match is not okay.
AND function - ✔Combines Boolean expressions to determine if ALL of the combined
expressions are TRUE.
=AND(logical1, [logical2],...)
First Boolean expression, second Boolean expression (as needed), additional Boolean
expression(s) as needed
OR function - ✔Combines Boolean expressions to determine if ANY of the combined
expressions are TRUE.
=OR(logical1, [logical2],...)
First Boolean expression, second Boolean expression(as needed), additional Boolean
expressions (as needed)
VLOOKUP function - ✔Returns the related value from the specified column after finding
the match in the first column.
=VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, range_lookup)
COUNTIF function - ✔Determine (count) the number of cells within a range of cells that
contain a specific value.
=COUNTIF(range,criteria)
The range of cells within which to count the number of matches, the specific value to
match the cells in the specific range
