Engineering Analysis

• Engineering analysis is a systematic process for analyzing

problems that arise in the various fields of engineering.

• As part of the problem solving process, the data collected

has to be processed, analyzed and sometimes displayed graphically by using many mathematical tools that are available.

• In many cases, once you have defined and set up the problem

properly, numerical methods are required to solve the mathematical equations. Microsoft’s Excel spreadsheet software has many numerical procedures built directly into its program structure.

Excel Formulas

• In Excel, a formula expresses dependency of one cell on
• thers in the worksheet.
• Formula entry for a Cell begins with clicking on the Cell first

and then either typing the equal sign “=“ in the Cell itself or clicking on the Formula Bar, and ends with “Enter”.

• A Formula can be edited by first clicking on the Cell and then

editing the formula on the active Cell or on the Formula Bar.

• A Formula may contain functions.

The value of x is in cell A15 Example

Math syntax: 3x2 + e(-0.3x) - 10x =3*(A15^2) + EXP(-0.3*A15) - 10*A15 Excel syntax:

Using Excel Built-in Functions

After clicking on the Cell

• Click on the “Formula Bar” (fx), follow instructions on the “Insert Function”
• window. Or, in the “Formulas” menu select “Insert Function“
• Follow instructions on the “Function Argument” window, e.g., select the

value, or range of values for the function.

MAX and MIN Functions

• =MAX or MIN(X1, X2, X3…) will take the maximum or

minimum of the numbers in the parentheses.

• =MAX or MIN(X1:X4) will take the maximum or minimum
• f all the numbers from X1 to X4.

COUNT Function

• =COUNT(X1, X2, X3…) will count the number of

cells that contain numbers and the arguments in the list that are numbers.

=COUNT(A1, A2, A3) will return 2, because of the 4 and 9. =COUNT(A1:A4) will return 3, because of the 4, 9 and 3. =COUNT(A1:A4, -17, “world”) will return 4, because of the 4, 9, 3 and -17. Example

COUNTIF Function

• =COUNTIF(range, criteria) will count the number of cells

in the range that match the criteria. Note: if the criteria consists of a relational expression, such as “>5”, it must be enclosed in double quotes.

=COUNTIF(A1:A4, “>5”) will return 2, because 6 and 9 are greater than 5. =COUNTIF(A1:B4, “=6”) will return 3, because three cells in the range contain 6.

IF Logical Function

• =IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false) returns the

second argument if the test is true, and the third if it is false.

=IF(A1>3, “A1 is larger than 3”, 0) would return “A1 is larger than 3”. =IF(A4>3, “A1 is larger than 3”, 0) would return 0.

VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP Function

• =VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_number,

not_exact_match) finds the value in the top row of a table and returns the corresponding column value.

 Not_exact_match: Can be either True or False.

True means it will find the closest value to the lookup value. False means you only want the value returned if it is an exact match.

 Table_array: The table that the function looks through.  Col_index_number: The column number from which

the function should return (search for) the value.

 Lookup_value: The value that the function looks for in the first column.

HLOOKUP Function - Example

=HLOOKUP (12, A1:E3, 2, False) means that you are looking in the second row for the value corresponding to the value 12 in top row, and you are looking for an exact match to 12. This would return $14.33. =HLOOKUP (10, A1:E3, 2, False) means that you are looking in the second row for the value corresponding to the value 10, and you are looking for an exact match to 10. Since there is no 10 in top row, it would return #N/A. =HLOOKUP (50, A1:E3, 3, True) means that you are looking in the third row for the value corresponding to the value 50 in top row. Since there is no 50 in the top row, it returns the match corresponding to the largest value in the top row that is less than the lookup value of 50. In this case, it returns 8.

If range lookup is TRUE, the values in the first row of table array must be placed in ascending order: ...-2, -1, 0, 1, 2,... , A-Z, FALSE, TRUE; otherwise, HLOOKUP may not give the correct value. If range lookup is FALSE, table array does not need to be sorted.

Row 1 is not in ascending
