Which function can be used in Excel to perform calculations on a set of values?

The Formula Bar in Excel is the primary tool for performing calculations on a set of values. It allows users to enter formulas that can combine different data types, perform mathematical operations, and reference cells to create dynamic calculations. For example, entering a formula like =SUM(A1:A10) in the Formula Bar will calculate the total of values in cells A1 through A10.

In contrast, Filter and Sort are features designed for organizing and managing data rather than performing calculations. While the Function Wizard assists users in selecting and inserting functions for calculations, it is the Formula Bar where the actual computations and functions are entered and executed. Therefore, the most fitting choice for performing calculations directly in Excel is the Formula Bar.
