Is it possible to get a list of formulas available on the CBE spreadsheet application? I don’t expect it to be as extensive as for a full version of Excel but it would be a useful time saver for an exam.
For example, in stressful situations I end up working the number of months between two dates (say time spent in a primary residence in TX-UK) on my fingers, twice. If the Excel DATEDIF formula was available it would save a lot of time and worry.
You have to do practice on these math formulas for perfection. It is not a way to watch whenever need. So, you do practice with your worksheet with these formulas.
You can do the simple basic formulae over the spreadsheet CBE application.
Like SUM functions, addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and absolute… Just the basics like these.I know with the functions that one gets over Excel would make some inputs lot faster, but at this level we don’t need to know such advanced functions.
And there are those who are not very familiar with Excel ( may be cuz they have no past experience with using Excel) so things need to be kept equal for those who are expert in using spreadsheet and those who are not… So that one doesn’t get advantage over the other.
The best thing is to practice solely on the workspace provided by ACCA on their website and NOT on excel.
