Question

What is the result of the following MS-Excel formula?
=256/8/4/2

A.

16

B.

0

C.

4

D.

64

Correct option is C

In Excel, division operations are performed from left to right.
1. 256÷8= 32
2. 32÷4= 8
3. 8÷2=4
Important Key Points:
1. Operator Precedence in Excel: Excel follows left-to-right evaluation for division ("/") and multiplication ("*"), as they have the same precedence.
2. Sequential Calculation: In the absence of parentheses, calculations are performed one after another.
3. Alternative Evaluation with Parentheses: If parentheses were used, the calculation could yield different results.
