smallest value from the set of values in cells E2:E4.

available in the Functions tab. You can use the same SUM function procedure
to insert the average function in a cell. The only difference is that you have

to select Min or Max function instead of SUM.

The COUNT function is used to calculate the number of cells that contain numbers, this
function ignores the text values between the cells and only calculates numeric values. The
