A formula always starts with an equal sign (=). Some useful examples of Excel formulas include: =SQRT(A1) which makes use of the SQRT function to return the square root of the value in A1; =TODAY() this returns the current date; and =IF(A1>0,"Plus","Minus") which tests the cell A1 to determine if it contains a value greater than 0. If the result of the test is true, the text "Plus" appears in the cell; if the result is false, the text "Minus" appears.
