    Réponse: D. 15

    SUM ignores text in the cells it refers to, so it adds only 8 and 7 and returns 15.

    In the sheet below, what does =A2+B2+C2 return?
    ABC
    1MonTueWed
    28N/A7

    Réponse: D. #VALUE!

    When you add cells with + and one of them holds text, Excel returns the #VALUE! error. SUM would ignore the text instead.

  16. Question 16 sur 18

    In the sheet below, C2 contains =IF(B2>=32,"Full","Part") and is copied down to C5. How many cells in C2:C5 show "Full"?

    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. 2

    IF shows "Full" only when the hours are 32 or more. Ben (34) and Dana (40) meet the test, so 2 cells show "Full".

  17. Question 17 sur 18

    What does =ROUND(1234.567,-2) return?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. 1200

    A negative num_digits rounds to the left of the decimal point. -2 rounds to the nearest hundred, so the result is 1200.

  18. Question 18 sur 18

    In the sheet below, C2 is empty. What does =B2/C2 return?
    ABC
    1ÉlémentCostUnits

    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. #DIV/0!

    Excel shows #DIV/0! when a number is divided by zero or by an empty cell. A formula like =IF(C2,B2/C2,0) avoids the error.
