range that contain numeric data (including numbers, dates, and times). It ignores empty cells
and cells containing only text.
Syntax =COUNT(value1; value2; ...) or =COUNT(Range)
Example To count how many students have marks entered in the range E5 through E40.

Example: To check if a student is eligible for a prize (Score > 90 AND Attendance >= 80%).
Score is in C2, Attendance is in D2.
Usage =AND(C2>90; D2>=0.8)
Result: Returns TRUE only if both conditions are true; otherwise, it returns FALSE.
3. OR Function
The OR function checks multiple conditions (logical tests) and returns TRUE if at least one of
the conditions is met. It returns FALSE only if all conditions are false.
Syntax =OR(Logical_Test1; Logical_Test2; ...)
Example To check if a student gets a concession (Fee < 500 OR Scholarship = “Yes”). Fee is
in E2, Scholarship is in F2.
Usage =OR(E2<500; F2="Yes")
Result Returns TRUE if either the fee is less than 500 or the scholarship status is "Yes".

clock. Like TODAY, it is volatile.
Syntax =NOW()
Arguments Takes no arguments inside the parentheses.
Usage =NOW()
Result Displays the current date and time (e.g., 05-11-2025 19:50:56).

from a given date.
Syntax =YEAR(Date_value)

5. Area Chart: Shows trends over time, emphasizing the magnitude or volume of change
by filling the space below the line.
6. Scatter Chart (or XY Chart): Shows the relationship between two sets of numerical data
(two variables).
20. Write the steps to insert a chart in Calc.

Ans.: Here are five essential components of a chart in a spreadsheet package, explained very
briefly:
1. Chart Title: The descriptive name of the chart, placed at the top (e.g., "Annual
Revenue").
2. Data Series: The visual representation (bars, lines, or slices) of the numerical data being
plotted.
3. Axes: The two lines forming the boundary. X-Axis (horizontal) holds categories (e.g.,
months), and Y-Axis (vertical) holds the values (e.g., amounts).
4. Legend: A small key that identifies what each color or symbol represents, essential for
charts with multiple data series.
5. Data Labels: The exact numerical value placed directly next to or on the data point (bar
or line) for precision.
