Instructions
Step 1
Start the Microsoft Office Excel program. In the data entry menu, enter the matrix given to you for the subsequent calculation of its determinant. Select one of the unoccupied table cells, then enter the following formula: “= MOPRED (ak: fg)”. In this case, ak will mean the coordinates corresponding to the upper left corner of the given matrix, and fg - the lower right. Press Enter to get the identifier. The desired value will be displayed in the empty cell of your choice.
Step 2
Use Excel functionality to calculate and other values. If you do not know how to use formulas in Microsoft Office Excel, download special thematic literature, and after reading it will be quite easy for you to navigate this program.
Step 3
Carefully study the names of the values of the formulas in this software, because if you enter them incorrectly, you may spoil all the results at once, especially those who perform several identical calculations on the same formula at the same time.
Step 4
Check the calculation results from Microsoft Office Excel from time to time. This is due to the fact that some changes could have occurred in the system over time, in particular this applies to those who perform work according to the template. It will always be useful to once again compare the results of several current calculations at once.
Step 5
Also, when working with formulas, be extremely careful not to allow viruses to appear on your computer. Even if you need operations with formulas in Microsoft Office Excel one-time, study the functionality of this program to a greater extent, since these skills will help you in the future to better understand accounting automation and use Excel to perform certain tasks.
