A function is a piece of code designed to calculate specific values and are used inside formulas. Functions to sum values, calculate a trigonometric cosine, and to calculate the current time are built into excel. Additional functions can be defined using Visual Basic.
Functions are typed alongside parenthesizes, where in the arguments if any are listed in between. To use functions in a formula, for example
=COS(3.14) will return the calculated cosine.
=NOW() returns the current time.
=SUM(1+2+3) *2 will multiply the sum by 2
